Staff, guested friendly, the small defects is what let the facilities of the room down slightly.
Pros:

The golf course offered a vast open space and friendly staff who were very helpful upon our arrival. The other guests were also very polite.

Cons:

I pre-requested a double bedroom not a twin, understanding it might not always be guaranteed . However, we received a double bed but with two single beds pushed together. A plug socket was situated behind where my head rested. There was also a crack in the bath panel and the shower soap dispenser was empty.

Pros:

The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is quite central in the town and close to restaurants and various activities.

Cons:

I thought it was a little pricey for what it was. I would also like to see more vegan options for breakfast and dinner. I should also point out that the lights by the gate and car park were off, which felt a little unsafe for those walking at night.

Staff were brilliant with great location and excellent food. Needs a refresh as looking tired.
Pros:

Staff were excellent throughout the weekend stay, extremely attentive and helpful. Food was very good throughout for restaurant and event dinner. The menu choice and availability was good.

Cons:

Although clean the facilities and decor are worn and tired and a refresh and upgrade is really needed because the staff were working so hard to make it a such a great venue and place to stay. The out of date facilities let the hotel down.
