Ate dinner at the bar and the food was just ok. Chicken breast was a bit dry and my steak was just about grand, but not amazing.

Pros:

Perfect for golf trip. Rooms and use of the sauna was excellent.

Cons:

Staff couldn’t help with an electric car charging point - they could definitively say there was one and dint know its location. Breakfast was excellent but the bar food in the evening was just okay.
