Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were lovely, especially the one on the first floor with a terrace, although the hotel is quite a way and involves lots of stairs to negotiate. The service was top-notch, with helpful and prompt staff who were friendly and attentive. The location, while near nice villages, was a bit of a letdown with some facilities out of order and less professional-looking staff. The dining experience ranged from poor to outstanding, but the tandoori dishes were excellent.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms had great views directly over the golf course, and the lovely comfortable bed made my stay truly relaxing. The receptionist even described it as an upgrade, she needs to take up poker because it was just lovely. The general hotel grounds were stunning, adding to the overall experience.
My stay at the hotel was delightful, with spacious, spotless, and cozy rooms offering a lovely view over the grounds and featuring gorgeous comfy beds. The service was impeccable, with polite and helpful staff available to assist in various aspects. The location, although very busy, provided a superb setting for a quiet getaway, with fantastic grounds and amenities. The dining experience was a mix of highs and lows, showcasing a diverse menu but with some room for improvement in service timing. Overall, a great value for money with a few minor inconveniences.
