Fantastic Stay! Golf Course Views!

modern bar friendly staff

I loved the modern bar area. It had various food options, including gluten-free choices. The free parking provided plenty of space. Emma and other staff members were friendly, helpful, and super nice. I enjoyed the green space view from the lounge bar. I appreciated its cleanliness. It was a convenient place for a stopover.

My room had some dust, especially on surfaces below eye level, which needed more attention. I suggest earplugs for light sleepers. You can hear noises from the restaurant above such as chairs and the hoover. It bothered me a little, especially before the restaurant closed.
