    "nice stay would have helped if on the internet it stated times of breakfast as a business traveller 8am is not early enough though i'm aware this is not your main focus group. a tray was an acceptable alternative" (107217327)

    very friendly staff, clean rooms, quiet surroundings

    inexperienced staff on reception when arrived so had to be prompted about alternative tray system for breakfast

    Lovely large room with mini kitchen facilities. The room was large enough to comfortably hold a double bed, a single bed and a sofa bed. The facilities were very good and we would definitely stay at this hotel again.

    None with the hotel, but the online booking did not include a facility to ask for an extra bed in the room and therefore had to find the telephone number for the hotel and deal with them direct.

    "Hotel rooms are in separate buildings to reception, pool, dining and bar areas; could be a nuisance in poor weather. A pleasant stay overall." (97061168)

    Good sized room. Good to have eating utensils available. Pleasant and helpful staff

    Nothing to really complain about.

    "Comfortable quiet and clean. All I wanted really" (97264096)

    Rooms clean and very adequate for an overnight stay. The sink and kitchen area with provisions was a nice touch

    Dinner menu good for meat eaters but not so great if you are vegan, however there was something for everyone so really no complaint

  • 9/10 Graham ( Mature couple) 

    from Enfield , GB  on  December 19, 2007

    Overall excellent. The room was clean, large & came with a small kitchen. The accomodation is based in 3 blocks, about 50 yards from the clubhouse, meaning it is quiet at night. The clubhouse bar was good size & they welcomed children. There is also an indoor swimming pool for your use. The breakfast was freshly cooked & very tasty.

    The only downside is that you cannot receive a signal on your mobile.

    "About the favourable situation of the hotel, its links to the adjacent static caravan site. Also the off peak season, which meant it was quiet at the time we visited and this suited us. I am sure if we were golfers it would be ideal" (97143537)

    Spacious, good self catering facilities, if we had needed them. Quiet when we were there. Inside swimming pool and access to sports facilities.

    wireless networking not yet reliable or extended to all rooms. Patchy mobile reception in the area. Poor TV picture.

Grandson given comfortable put-you-up bed in same room. Leisure facilities excellent especially pool. Staff very accommodating and willing to help with requests made.

    "We had a pleasant stay in nicely fitted clean & spacious rooms/1 double bed/1 single bed/sofa bed/kitchenette/bathroom. Part of a golfers caravan site and golf complex in a lovely country location. Food was good, home made and fresh veg...staff were friendly. We thought it lacked a bit of attention to detail to make it the luxury complex it claimed but on the whole a nice place to stay. No shop for a morning newspaper had to drive off site and find a shop a few minutes drive away. Ideal place for a golfing break and would stay there again if in the area. No mobile phone signals while on site and no telephones in the rooms/telephone box at reception only. plenty of parking spaces. Nice pool. Bar meaals and restuarant meals same price and had to order at bar first and then get called into restuarant when food ready which we thought odd ! Food was nice to good and plentiful." (97587137)

    Very spacious rooms...clean rooms...peaceful country location...friendly staff...relaxed atmosphere...

    loose toilet seat/noisey bathroom fan...blocks of rooms seperate to main building...heavy doors to rooms that slammed if not held open...no shop for morning paper

    Large room with plenty of space to relax. The meals were excellent and staff very friendly and polite. Also very quiet and peaceful. No traffic noise. Good access to connecting roads North & South along the coast.

    Could probably do with freshening up, a bit dark in the corridor and possibly lonely for a lady on her own.

    "I was unaware before my arrival that there is a caravan campsite attached, although this did not affect my stay there. It may have influenced my decision if I had know in advance." (99718593)

    I liked the quiet location and having parking facilities near the bedrooms, especially since the weather was bad. I also liked the size of the room, although I was travelling alone. While it would accomodate a family of three, fitting four into the room would be restrictive unless a baby was involved. I enjoyed the breakfast provided.

    It was not explained adequately to me at check-in where the room were located, not the set-up. There were no clear indications of room numbers in the rear car parking area, and I had to venture into wrong areas to locate my room.

    "I guess I've stayed in too many Marriots... It started with a well-meaning but uninformed teenager trying to book me in. The pool & spa I'd hoped to use close at 8 pm, which was my arrival time, not to open until 10am, which was the too-early mandatory check-out time. No food after 9 pm, and since it's a rural setting, that's all you get. I needed some information, so I tried the wireless internet, which didn't work. No phone books...no phone! So, back to reception to borrow their book. And a wake-up call was out of the question with no clock radio or phone. And despite this, it had a kitchenette! Very odd hotel --" (99007186)

    It was clean and quiet, and I had a pleasant breakfast.

    No phone, no clock radio, the wireless internet wasn't working, and the pool/gym closed too early, with no more than a little sympathy from the staff.
