Pros:

Prachtige ruime kamer en goed restaurant

Cons:

Kamers zijn gehorig (deuren hoor je behoorlijk dicht slaan, op de badkamer krijg je alles mee van de buren)

Netter Aufenthalt zum günstigen Preis
Pros:

Ruhig gelegen, der Spa Bereich (kostet 15€ extra) ist ganz nett. Leider war das Dampfbad nicht an.

Im Zimmer hatten wir eine sehr tolle und große Dusche und das Bett war super bequem und riesig.

Cons:

Die Zimmer sind recht dunkel, der Teppich hatte einige Flecken. Für den Preis kann man aber definitiv nichts sagen.

Das Frühstück war für ein 4 Sterne Hotel eher unterdurchschnittlich, man halt allerdings keinen deutschen Standard erwarten. Dennoch hat jeder etwas gefunden. Wir waren nur eine Nacht da, von daher völlig ausreichend.

Excellent Hotel & Great location...
Pros:

Excellent hotel. Superb location... Food very good, and good bar.. Rooms were fabulous with plenty of room & very comfortable..

Cons:

Bar staff struggled in the night they had a wedding on. But probably to be expected. But on the nights with just residents managed better.

An affordable and accommodating resort. Don't forget to make time for golf!
Pros:

We reserved the Sally Garden room and it exceeded expectations - a spacious bed and room with a great view facing east to see the sunrise on the distant hill past the golf course. The bathroom was also very spacious with both a shower and bathtub. Complimentary breakfast was good. We also ate dinner and it was near-perfect.

Cons:

Nothing at all - food was great and the staff was very professional and helpful. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
