underwhelming stay overall

beautiful groundsunclean roomdelayed minibar
The hotel grounds looked beautiful. I liked the scenery.
Our room was not properly cleaned. I noticed dust and hairs on the bathroom floor. the minibar was empty upon arrival, and i had to call several times to get it stocked. this delayed my relaxation plans considerably and caused unnecessary frustration.

Relaxing Getaway

friendly staffgood spaspacious bedroomlimited food
I found the staff very friendly. They were also helpful. The spa facilities are quite good. I loved the relaxed atmosphere. The bedrooms are spacious. the bathrooms also provide ample space.
I thought the food options for vegan and vegetarian were limited. The food seemed mediocre. I also felt that it was overpriced. A small main meal cost £29.

Fantastic Stay, Golf, Spa, and More!

beautiful hotelindoor poollimited options
The hotel's grounds were beautifully kept. The hotel itself felt luxurious, easily matching the standards of a top-tier hotel. I enjoyed using the driving range and the academy golf course. These were nice ways to relax. The indoor pool was great, though seating was limited. That being said, the pool is small, so I understand that.
As a vegetarian, I found dinner options limited. The breakfast had a nice selection, however, the dinner menu needed more veggie options. I ended up eating out more often because of it.
Dining
8/10
The breakfast offered many choices. The dinner menu had fewer options for vegetarians. This required me to dine off-site sometimes. The food was AMAZING!!!
Service
