Underwhelmed
Pros:

On first impressions the hotel looks very impressive but once inside it is a bit tired sadly.
Food in the resteraunt is not great its ok but not brilliant.
The bar area is more of a corridor with a poor selection of beers.
The room we had was clean but adequate and no more .
However the spa and pool are very good .
Overall tired and in need of some updating and refreshing .

Pros:

The location was convenient for the event we were attending and the reception staff were lovely.

Cons:

Breakfast and the breakfast room was uninspiring. Internal room so no natural light or outlook. Food was nothing special.
Our bedrooms were all a bit run down with only one having a decent view the other all looked out onto a roof with one having frosted out window as it looked onto another bedroom window. The felt more like store rooms converted into bedrooms.
The restaurant wasn't open on the Sunday and there was no where to eat food we purchased other than our bedrooms.

Pros:

Comfy beds and decent breakfast (at extra cost). Staff were friendly and place looks special. Pool is nice ( at extra cost).

Cons:

The hotel suggests you can walk around the grounds but actually there are no paths for residents to use unless they are golfers. Relatively expensive for one night with additional cost of breakfast and spa facilities (we didn't know about the extra for spa until we had booked - usually in our experience hotel residents can use pool free). We stayed in the lodge which had a very scruffy entrance and looked down at heel. We were woken by residents on first floor as sound proofing is poor between floors.

Pretty terrible. Would not recommend to anyone
Pros:

Swimming pool

Cons:

Unfortunately, when we arrived we were given a room that had no natural light as it faced a brick wall. That wasn’t the biggest problem. It looked and felt dirty and when we pulled back the sheets there were at least 4 human hairs on the bed sheet. Unacceptable at any level. I complained and in fairness, in the end they upgraded us to a suite. This was a bigger room with a lot of lovely natural light. However, the carpet hadn’t been hoovered and there were multiple iron burns and worst of all, a blood stain. Thankfully, we had been provided with slippers so wore them to ensure our feet didn’t touch the carpet.
