Comfortable Stay With Great Amenities

great spafriendly staffclean room
The spa treatment I received was lovely. Then I used the great spa facilities. Cody at the Pavilion restaurant was super friendly, accommodating, and gave fantastic food recommendations. The room was very quiet and clean. I saw deer looking out to fields.
The outgoing reception staff member on Monday morning was rude. She did not smile or make eye contact.
Service
9/10
The staff were attentive and very polite at the Fore & Pavilion Restaurant. They seemed genuinely accommodating. Staff ensured the Christmas dinner had top-drawer food and service. The food was hot and plentiful. Excellent service.
Location

The location was peaceful and quiet. It is also a good base for visiting many sights. The setting and facilities were very relaxing and well-kept, I liked the airy premises. I found the rolling fairways outside my window relaxing.
Rooms

The room was bigger than average. I found the beds quite comfortable too. The spacious, well-appointed room had a great view, I loved it. The room had all the necessary amenities for a relaxing stay.
