I came here on a golf break and though I don’t normally do reviews I thought I would this time as my experience was such a mixed bag of very good and very bad. We played both courses. The main course was fab and quite challenging and we really enjoyed playing it. The second course was also in good condition but the first hole had a silly mickey mouse green which had such a slope it was unfair, and though my playing partners had hit good shots to the green they never found their balls as I think the severe slope had caused the balls to find the undergrowth which was situated so close to the green. Overall, the place had a real nice buzz to it and there was a lot going on with a wedding and also several groups on golf breaks. The place seemed very busy and popular. This meant the car park was rammed full even though it was a really big car park, to the extent that excess cars seemed to be using the practice ground. The accommodation was excellent with a large comfortable and clean room, and the rooms were situated around a very pretty courtyard. Our evening meal was also excellent and beautifully presented. The bar was busy and noisy but that was fine and we got served efficiently. The staff were mostly young and very pleasant. Shout out to the older lady Helen though who worked so hard and seemed to be there all day and evening. Basically, all the staff we interacted with were very nice. Breakfast was a contrast to the evening meal as it was so disorganised. We had to ask several times for glasses and cups. Other tables had their food order taken before us even though they had been sat down at least 10 minutes after us. I asked if there was decaf coffee in the machine and was told yes, but there wasn’t. Whereas the evening meal had been so good, breakfast was disappointing. Staff seemed to be working both in the restaurant and serving in the bar so maybe they were a bit understaffed that particular morning. Overall I did enjoy my stay and would love to have given this place 5 stars but the main thing that really let it down for me was the toilets downstairs. For such a big place and bearing in mind how busy it was, out of three toilets one was locked and out of use, one had some sort of leak coming from somewhere as there was a large pool of water (hopefully water) on the floor of the cubicle, and the other one wouldn’t flush properly. The cubicles were really tiny so it was hard to get in and out, especially when you're trying to avoid putting your foot in a puddle. On one visit, there was loo paper all over the floor – maybe to try and absorb the water. I thought it was really grim in there and as it was the same on both days I’m not even sure a cleaner had been near them. I can’t imagine the wedding guests would have been too impressed, although I think there may have been some other toilets elsewhere on the premises, the signs directed us to the grim ones downstairs. I would definitely come here again but maybe next time seek out the altern
