Guest Reviews
Very fresh feeling, dog friendly. Accessible room was very spacious
As lovely as the fan provided was it was pretty dirty/dusty.
We also had some problems finding the correct entrance as all at nav’s took us to a locked gate. Some issues with disorganisation, room numbers not given, things that were only told to one couple and not the other.
Breakfast was amazing
Bedding was luxurious
No disabled toilet in bar area
Clean, luxurious and staff were amazing. Great facilities with the pool and sauna and the food and bar staff were also great
No air conditioning
Easy to check in and plenty of parking at the club and the accommodation. Gorgeous surroundings, looking out across a stunning golf course. The Stables are beautifully kept, spacious, light, bright and clean with comfy beds, great shower and felt safe and secure. Staff were fantastic, helpful and friendly, swimming pool and spa was very nice and pool was a great temperature. Breakfast in the club house was tasty and a good selection, very filling, scrambled eggs and salmon on toast, full English etc. Generous portions, we couldn't finish.
Honestly it was gorgeous, no complaints. If you like a dark room in the morning bring an eye mask to sleep in as it's very light and bright, but we loved that. Also you need your own towels for the swimming pool which is fine, but it's then difficult to get anything dried, more hooks to hang wet things from would have been helpful.
I like the accommodation and everything .
The location is great but too much for me
Breakfast on the first day, Monday was good also the pizza served on the second evening, Tuesday was excellent, well done Chef. Breakfast on the second day, Tuesday had to be returned as the poached eggs were hard. The second attempt was only slightly better but by then I needed to eat something. This is not a five star venue as described in the booking narrative. The restaurant is really just a bar cafeteria for the golf club, with a menu to match. The accommodation is in a building ten minutes walk from the main building. When we arrived it was not clear where we had to go. Asking at the reception, which is really just the golf shop, I was given directions to the stables only to find nobody there. There is no clear signage. I returned to the main building, asked someone else and was directed to the golf shop. There I saw the same person as before who said" Sorry I thought you were just picking someone up, I didn't realise you wanted to check in!!"
The room did not have a fridge, safe or telephone line to reception, despite claiming five star status. The shutters on the window did not stop light coming into the room at 5am, when I woke up - curtains are needed. There were only four hangers in the wardroom. The bar closed at 9pm just as we went in. At 9.01pm I asked if I could have two glasses of wine to take to the room. The response was "Our tills are switched off" Really! One member of staff said " The accommodation is normally used by people at the weddings so we don't need a bar, there's a High Street and a Pub nearby" Some staff need training for five star hospitality if that is what you intend to offer, otherwise stick with what you have which is just accommodation at a golf club for wedding guests.
Comfy bed and bedding. Clean and peaceful
Room a bit bland,no pictures? Refreshments cheap, toiletries also cheap. Need a bath sheet, bath mat,magnifying mirror somewhere, tissues, small touches but supplied in most places of quality.Shower cap( overhead shower) Shutters let in daylight so summer guests will be woken at 5!
Health club facilities on site are excellent & all very clean. Stable block accommodation was cute, comfortable & functional & quiet, I slept well. Most staff were lovely.
Finding the accommodation at the stable block was not straightforward but the staff did help by giving me a golf buggy escort.
The restaurant closes at 7pm for dinner, not ideal if like me you are staying for work & don’t arrive till 7. WiFi doesn’t work in the stable block, there is no password on the welcome letter. There is no hotel reception, you have to go to the golf pro shop which is not obvious. You can’t get a coffee or breakfast till 7.30am, not ideal when you’re up at 6 to ne on site at work for 8am, instant in the rooms is a let down for the standard of accommodation, they don’t ask you what you want for breakfast, they just
brung you full English, I’m vegetarian, the lady looked annoyed when I told her this & said I never told her but they never asked which I find odd, to just assume people want pig on their plates. The clubhouse was so packed at breakfast with golfers, like 60 of them, I had 2 sit at my table, I didn’t really get a say in the matter, if I stayed again I would select room only, breakfast was hard work & not peaceful.
Bed linen superb. Bed so comfy didn’t want to leave
Difficult to find. Lack of instruction through booking.com as to where and how to check in.
Breakfast was lovely
Nothing
The bed was comfy and good quality. Nice, quality toiletries in the bathroom and the shower had good water pressure. The staff we did get to speak to were kind and helpful.
The old stables are on the site of a clearly very up market golf/health club, which for both the cost and the evident clientele of the club you would expect the same for the accommodation. Though it feels like a second thought/ not properly finished. The rooms themselves were not signposted at all, and not within walking distance of reception/check in.. good luck trying to get anyone to answer the phone. Did read other reviews stating similar things but travelling from 250 miles away for a wedding didn’t leave us with many other options in the area. Breakfast was a decent full English, with an option for one drink only (anything else was an extra charge). Not table service , again misaligned with the cost of the room, and the service that was provided was lacklustre. When at breakfast, you’re looked upon by the golf club guests like aliens.. very odd.
Okay for a one night stay but wouldn’t come again and not sure I’d recommend I’m afraid.
Nice room and location
Difficult to find room as map and directions hard to follow, breakfast service did not start until 0930 making it unfeasible to utilise this part of my stay (that was paid for)
Location
The bathroom flooded
Wasn't advised I would be woken up at 8 am for scaffolding to be erected.
