Good hotel; could be a lot better with a more joined-up approach between departments and better staff training. Food was good, service was frantic. Golf course in summer / dry weather would be very good; after or during wet weather, best to avoid. Spa is a bit of an afterthought given the size of the hotel. Overall, a great setting, not a bad hotel, just felt a little short-changed

Excellent service above and beyond we were treated like royalty. There was nothing they could not do to help. They stored our golf clubs in a drying room and our overnight bags whilst we played golf on the first day. We were albe to check in prior to playing albeit the rooms were not available so early to give us more time after our golf game. Spa facilites excellent and the ladies who didnt play one day were taken to Bowood House to do a tour.

Probably 4 and a half stars, only glitch is the incredibly slow service in the main restaurant when more than half full. On one occasion we waited over 50 minutes before even a basket of bread arrived. There is no buffet breakfast for cold items (all waited service) so be prepared to get there early or you might miss your tee time. Expensive but almost worth it.

Being 20 golfers we were never going to be quiet however we were not overly noisy or rowdy but we were told to quieten down within a very noisy restaurant which we all thought was unnecessary as we had to raise voices to be heard. Apart from that the ambiance was very good. The rooms were excellent and the facilities outstanding.

From the moment we arrived at the very impressive grounds we were delighted. The staff were excellent, with a warm greeting, and the rooms were superb. The food which was included in the price was way beyond what we were expecting. A very good choice and extremely good. facilities were great and I'm delighted we found Bowood!

Amazing golf course all ready for the PGA event, staff were so welcoming even the lady and man in the halfway hut. Good food choice and lovely room. The spa area and pool were also great lovely to get an early morning swim in. Very obliging also with an earlier tee time , the course was surprisingly quiet.

Room was great, a lot of our food wasn’t very hot - cold asparagus and egg starter ( no one even checked us ), cold steak for main which was sorted out and then not very hot breakfast !! The bar gents were amazing and were very helpful and knowledgeable, restaurant weren’t horrible or rude just look like they definitely need training. I had no tv remote in my room - again they were trying to sort out. I had to wait half an hour but it still didn’t work ( I just had to turn the tv over manually) , but just expect a bit More really to be honest.

Have to say that the one let down of the trip was the food. Chef was unable to cook a simple steak rare. I sent it back and the waitress returned it saying that this was as rare as the chef could get it...seemed very odd as it was clearly medium rare / medium. Order an accompanying peppercorn sauce and it was without doubt the worst sauce I have ever had. No flavour and basically the consistency of water. Very poor. Breakfast in the morning also a let down. All items stone cold. disappointing to say the least
