Lovely hotel if you play golf

Hotel is in a lovely location, we were lucky to get a view of the gardens (not the car park). Room was comfortable and clean, we were disappointed with the bathroom, there is mould on the ceiling and the shower mixer tap had the central section missing which would have shown how it worked (room 8 on group floor. Service in the bar was good, bar area was comfortable. Food was OK at dinner, disappointed with my breakfast order of smoked salmon and scrambled eggs as the eggs were dry and over cooked and not very hot. We were not impressed with the morning check out process, the bill was not itemised, I was not given an actual value of the bill until I asked just advised there was enough credit on my account to cover all charges. When I requested itemisation I was advised they could only give me a photo copy of the till receipt from the bar.

Friday Night Stay

Hotel was very clean and well maintained. Hotels.com guests do not get spa included in price though and are charged £40 on arrival. This should be clearer advertised when booking.

Disappointed

Ok accommodation for a 1 night stay, mattress needs replacing. Bedding needs updating as quite rough. Room looks tired and dull. Bathroom requires upgrading, very dark and dingy, service panel for water pipes stuck on with blu-tak, not professional. Breakfast was awful, cheap ingredients and cooked to a poor quality. Staff were lovely, professional and approachable. For a 4 star hotel, I was very disappointed.
