mixed feelings about the stay

unhelpful staff
the room was clean and of adequate size.
The service was disappointing. Several staff members seemed unhappy. i found the reception staff unhelpful. The manager offered no real apology for the issues. the easter egg cocktail was a mess, with no attempt made to fix it.

Excellent Stay

double roomsgreat dinnerfriendly staff
We had two double rooms and the team ensured they were next to each other. Our stay included a two-course dinner and the food was fantastic especially the pork belly bites. Every staff member was friendly and were great too ensure we had a great time. My dad and husband enjoyed two rounds of golf while my mum and I used the spa and relaxed.
The absence of air conditioning made for a very uncomfortable night's sleep.
