Fantastic last minute night away
Room was a little more dated than others we've stayed in at this hotel but still totally spotless and even though it was a standard double the bed was enormous. Staff were pleasant as always and the food superb fabulous stay.

I wasn't anticipating how big the hotel was! It was a lovely stay facilities were nice, staff were absolutely lovely and a massive free parking. Evening food was delicious. One thing that could be improved was breakfast.

This is a great place to stay. Lovely spacious rooms, great wifi, wonderful bathrooms and great views. But .... I'm sorry to be slightly negative but the curtains could do with being able to close properly for privacy. That is literally my only gripe. I can't speak about breakfast as I always leave too early. But I do like this hotel, my next-door neighbour (Clive Griffiths) put me onto this as he played rugby for Wales and always rated this hotel. I look forward to returning.

How is this a 4-star resort?! The golf course is lovely but the hotel is in very poor shape. Carpets are stained, walls - scratched up and pockmarked with holes, furniture appears to be from 1980. The rooms are so rundown and shabby; you are not given a luggage rack or washcloths or a minifridge or any comfort. The food in the restaurant is good but the place has all the charm of an airport waiting area. We were extremely disappointed in the condition of the hotel and the available amenities. I have stayed at Motel 8s with more character…
