A lovely relaxing stay
Pros:

The staff were lovely and welcoming but didn’t explain breakfast times or check out. The hotel itself is very grand and the rooms are large and modern. The rooms could have been cleaner, a few dead wasps and flies when we arrived.

A lovely setting, beautiful hotel. Well worth a visit even if you are not a golfer.
Pros:

The food in both the bar and restaurant was very good. Excellent selection of wines and spirits. Staff were very friendly and polite. The room was also lovely and had recently been upgraded. Huge bed!

Cons:

Although we were warned that there was construction work going on to renovate the Spa, we did not realise that our room would be overlooking the works. These were at times noisey and even went on Sunday morning! Glad we didn't want a long lie!

Miejsce jak z bajki
Pros:

Jakość i styl. Piękne i niezwykle eleganckie miejsce, które sprawia, że czujesz się jak członek rodziny królewskiej :) Doskonałe śniadania.

Cons:

Jeśli wybierzesz się w wyjątkowo upalne lato, co w Anglii nie jest częste, poproś o pokój z otwieranymi oknami, w niektórych otwiera się tylko mały „lufcik”, w takich pokojach mimo wentylatorów jest naprawdę ciepło.
