great spacomfortable beddelicious food
The hotel provided great spa facilities, fully operational and included in the price. I had a comfortable bed with a nice view of the golf course. The Linden Tree pub offered delicious food, both for the evening meal and afternoon tea.
The hotel is somewhat far from local attractions though this adds to the privacy.

My partner and I celebrated her birthday, and it was great. We fully enjoyed the available amenities, including a spa visit for ultimate relaxation. Our accommodation was amazing and featured very nice views overlooking the meticulously maintained golf course.
I encountered a minor issue at breakfast. The waiting time felt excessively long. Though the staff seemed overwhelmed, I am sure they will address this to improve service efficiency.

Relaxing Stay at Refurbished Hotel

pleasant walksrelaxing poolhelpful staffearly closing
The green spaces provide pleasant walks. The spa area offers a relaxing pool. Breakfast included good quality options. Staff members were polite and helpful. Lots of space to relax is available, inside the hotel and in the grounds.
The bar closed early at 6 pm, so this was inconvenient. I found this very disappointing. I hope to see extended hours during my next visit.
