A wonderfully scenic site, sadly spoiled by a less than impressive golf course!

The Professional when approached a second time was discourteous, his Customer Service was shocking. I will write formally to the...

Staff really helpful and no requsts became a problem, went out of their way to try fulfill them. So nothing was a problem for staff or management. So 9.half out of 10, half a point off for lack of good tasting coffee. Do not let that put you off as I'm sure coffee machine should be fixed pronto. Small add only 1 mobility parking space at entrance to...
