Quality doesnt match the price
Pros:

Pool, sauna

Cons:

Sticky stair case hand rail, leadin to rooms urgh.. When eating in the bar, being handed missing fork by the eating part of the fork, who knows where his hsnds had been. Urgh...Actually the whole bar area was poor, doors open with tobacco smoke pouring in. Tables and chairs look like something from a greasy spoon cafe.

Pros:

La posizione dell'hotel per una nostra scelta fuori dal contesto urbani di Plymouth in un Golf Club...
Personale gentile e disponibile una piccola spa che può essere utilizzata dai clienti.

Pros:

Very attentive and helpful staff. Good facilities especially the pool and spa area. Excellent breakfast. Our room was spacious and well decorated with a good view of the golf course. Hotel was quiet.

Cons:

Sometimes it is difficult to find a parking space at the front of the hotel but no problems in the golfers car park which is slightly further away.

Excellent facilities and grounds. Receptionist very welcoming. The rest of the staff was very reserved.
Pros:

Restaurant- generally food was good.

Cons:

Facilities car parking, excellent leisure facilities with poor access time for guest at the hotel. Opening hours design to discourage guest. Hence, not many guest at the hotel use it. I would have to consider different location next time.
