golf course viewdusty surfacesearly morning noise
The location had a nice view of the golf course. It was acceptable for a short visit.
The room was quite dusty. Surfaces below eye level had a thick layer. I discovered no hot water in the morning. Rooms sit directly under the restaurant. I heard chairs scraping and other noises very early.

The breakfast was good.
The room had a smashed bathroom door and a burnt carpet. The damaged door was a safety concern, and the burnt carpet was unsightly. the room felt neglected and not properly maintained.

friendly staffeasy check-ingolf course viewclean room
I appreciated the really kind staff . The check-in process was easy. The room faced the golf course and the view was excellent. I found the room was clean and tidy.
The shower tap was stiff. It made it difficult to adjust the water temperature.

The food was tasty and arrived quickly. Portions seemed a fair size. I thought it was good value for money. The spacious balcony offers countryside views of the golf club.
