Pros:

Staff super nice, thoroughly enjoyed the pool and saunas, though male changing room location a tad odd. Breakfast was excellent!

Cons:

Could have done with a later bar opening, but not everyone is a night owl and I appreciate it has to be economic.

Great golf.. shame about the rooms
Pros:

2 fantastic golf courses.. some of the best around. .. and the food is excellent, however the rooms need a complete overhaul. Although the rooms are well kept and very well serviced, there is no character at all in them. No fridge, no air con, even a picture or two would help !

Cons:

It’s like being in a military barracks.
