Shambolic from start to finish!!

I stay in a lot of hotels and have to say, this is the worst ever hotel I've stayed at. 2 night stay x 4 rooms booked for colleagues. 1dt night dinner jn the restaurant was shambolic!We waited an hour just for starters. Overal food was sub-standard, service...I actually have no words for! Day 2 - no hot water, so unable to shower that evening before going out for dinner, still no hot water when returning from dinner and still nothing in the morning, so again unable to shower. There isn't enough characters in this review box for me to write everything, but the management team basically couldn't care less about the shambolic dinner experience, or the 24hrs+ without hot water! I think you can get the drift of this experience. I was offered 30% discount off my next stay as long as i booked direct, as compensation for this experience. As if i would ever stay here again....NOT A CHANCE IN HELL!! I certainly wouldn't recommend this hotel, not even to someone I don't like. Steer clear of this place!

Poor stay. No hot water

Tired hotel, shower curtains, peeling wallpaper, old carpet but the clincher was no hot water for 2 days! After travelling a long way this ruined my stay. I'll never be back.

Adequate stay

The boiler was broken and I was not informed of this on check in. This meant that there was no hot water, also when I came down for breakfast, there was plenty of choice. However, the hot food buffet was not hot.

The hotel was well presented. The room was clean, comfortable and well furnished. Negative issue was prolonged check in - around 20 mins. Automatic doors created a barrier to the waiting guests. Only one small lift. Golfers and guests dont mix easily, and a feeling that the golfers were more important.

Nice hotel

Clean room, nice pool perfect for children, very friendly staff at reception and breakfast. We had awful dinner in the Restaurant on the first night, they messed up half of the order, no one came to ask us how our food was, we waited over an hour for one of our main courses, we called the waiters several times, at the end supervisor came, and they argued with us that nothing was messed up. We didn't visit the restaurant for dinner anymore.
