What our clients think

❝The hotel is only about 8 years old so the rooms are modern, spacious and very well appointed with microwave, fridge, tea and coffee making facilities and huge double bed. Beautiful course but a bit challenging off some tees as driving over some water to reach the fairway. Excellent halfway house facility and seems to be the norm to stop for something to eat!❞
