mixed feelings about my stay
needed maintenance loud conversation
The lunch i had was lovely. It was a nice, relaxing sunday morning.
I was disappointed with the driving range. It could use some maintenance to tidy it up. the vitality pool was closed for maintenance and i wasn't told about it until i went to use the spa. That was frustrating. large groups were being loud and users in the spa were lying on the loungers having phone conversations. It was pretty hard to relax and enjoy the benefits.

lovely atmosphere immaculate place friendly staff toasted scones
I enjoyed the cafe visit. The atmosphere was lovely and the place was everything was super clean. the service was great with friendly staff. the food and drink selection were good. Everything was lovely. i visited at lunchtime on a saturday and felt very welcome. we had breakfast rolls and scones, offered toasted with cream. delicious!
During my spa visit, i found that robes were not provided, a standard for spas. i was not informed about outdoor area access or the lounge, limiting facility use. the spa felt overcrowded. Many beds had unused wet towels.

My room was really lovely. It was a Superior Family Room. Breakfast had a great range of continental selection followed by cooked options. The staff were very friendly too.
The tv boasted freeview though half of the channels didn't have reception. I felt the continental selection was poor as most plates were empty. My toilet flusher seemed temperamental.
