i found the staff consistently friendly and professional . the hotel provided true vip service to every guest. the beds offered a dreamy sleep experience. i also appreciated my time visiting the nearby town.
i found the noise levels on the floor where rooms were located quite disruptive. there was noticeable noise bleed between rooms. the sounds from other guests, particularly in the early morning, affected my sleep quality.

My room featured a television, and it did also have complimentary toiletries. the breakfast service included a selection of fruits that seemed very fresh. the golfing assistants proved helpful. I find them available all the time.
The swilcan restaurant offers poor choice of food. no fresh vegetables were present at all. the wine choices did not offer value for money. I don't recommend eating there.

a stay to remember

the staff showed amazing friendliness. i enjoyed the complimentary ev charging for my vehicle. every staff encounter was pleasant, offering assistance with a smile. they located a table with great views, better than an interior table.
the spa charged a £40 supplement. paying guests having to pay extra to visit the spa area seems wrong. i expect complimentary access at a five-star hotel.
