Very dated feel of a 60s motel.
Pros:

The room in isolation from the rest of the hotel was good and comfortable

Cons:

The rest of the hotel, Very dated and very poor design of spaces. Terrible carpets and artificial plastic greenery to screens. Narrow corridors and weird circulation along guest corridors to dining spaces. Cleaning equipment visible in nooks and crannies

Pros:

Perfect location. Lovely balcony over looking the golf course

Cons:

We chose not to have dinner there as seen the reviews were bad. The breakfast was not good at all. Limited selection and not great quality. We had a free upgrade which the room was lovely but it was the attic room, down 3 flights of stairs, outside the hotel, in the hotel and up two flights of stairs to get to breakfast. Which was ok, exercise is good but for those less able wouldn’t have been good. Small lifts available, but not to our room. Our room was very clean, large bright and perfect for us. The location was good for where we needed. Maybe the doors could use something on them to stop them slamming so much, we heard every person use every door in our block, maybe that was just unfortunate but some slow close mechanisms wouldn’t go a miss! We would probably stay again if couldn’t find an alternative as the room was nice and clean but would eat off site completely

Out and about
Pros:

It was a nice, clean, and spacious room, though it could use an upgrade. The bed and mattress gave us a good night’s sleep.
The people that work a reception, were very helpful and friendly

Cons:

You could hear everyone walking past the room; a proper fire door would probably reduce the noise.
The woman working at breakfast was quite rude. The man helping us, I think his name was Evert, was the opposite and very helpful.
Breakfast was very ordinary — everything was available, but it could do with an upgrade to make it look more appetising.”

BOOKED FOR GYM I COULD’NT USE!
Pros:

Modern property.

Cons:

Gym not open till 9am, no use whatsoever to the business traveler, this should be clearly stated on bookings.com! Waitress on breakfast had face like well smacked backside, scrambled eggs only egg option, I hate scrambled eggs! No fresh fruit, no granola, poor quality coffee.Breakfast well overpriced at £15.00!
