The room was nice but nothing fancy, 2,100 for 3 nights was a lot for average service. Reception staff were friendly but dining and bar staff were rude and a couldn’t be bothered attitude. Will not be staying again.

Paid for a golf view room but ended up with a ground floor room with a small lawn and shrubs as view. If they cannot provide a upper level room from which there would be golf view then the description should say it and price should reflect too. Apparently hotel was booked out. No compensation was offered . On a positive note, room was large, clean and very comfy bed.
