Wonderful staff, very polite, welcoming. The only thing is the changing rooms in leisure centre very cold, the swimming pool could be a little bit warmer and less chlorinated as soon as you walk in it hits you in the eyes. Overall very good experience. Fantastic breakfast spread

Failed to provide booked accomodation

Pros: The golf course & the food that we did have was very good
Cons: Attention to booking details received
Location: Excellent golf courses
I booked two twin rooms via e-bookers but when we checked in the hotel reception could only find one room on the booking. When they finally found the second room they had allocated a king size double room rather than a twin & did not have any other twin rooms available. They set up a sofa bed but for an adult guest this was not ideal but did not offer any form of compensation but preferred to blame the company that had sent the booking request through. They were not particularly helpful in offering any form of compensation to rectify the situation.They then asked if we would like to book a table in the restaurant for an evening meal & when we said yes told us that it was full & that we could eat in the bar!
