Beware the golfers are noisy in the bar, there was a completion on when we arrived, they weren’t about in the evening. The restaurant was quite peaceful and the staff were lovely. Our evening meal was great and breakfast was good. We used this venue for an overnight stay prior to catching the ferry to Santander, it made for a very comfortable stay.
Professional friendly staff. Pool, steam room and sauna were beautiful. The grounds are amazing. I was unlucky with the guest in the neighbouring room who began loud conference calls at 9am meaning that I checked out early. Pity.
A real gem close to Plymouth and the staff could not have been nicer particularly the ladies on front desk. Enjoyed the swimming pool and had great evening meal in bar area.
Great stay, had a nice meal in the bar area. Then went swimming and used the jacuzzi, steam room and sauna. Had a gym available to use too. Location was good for the area I had to visit. I would stay again.
First time staying at this hotel and will definitely stay again. The room was tastefully decorated and the bed was comfortable. Staff were very helpful and was eager to please.
