I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were large and spacious with a nice shower, but lacked double glazing. I enjoyed a quick walk to the bar and scenic views, yet our arrival was a bit disorganized. The garden room outside offered a lovely view.

The location was a mix of positives and negatives. It was lovely being on a golf course and by the meare, yet some areas needed redecorating. The hotel is perfect for coastal access and meeting friends annually.

The dining experience left something to be desired. The food was hard and overcooked, and at one point, they even ran out of eggs. While the meals lacked finesse, they served their purpose in a pinch.

The service was excellent, with extremely helpful and polite staff. The location, although needing a bit of updating, was still wonderful, in the middle of a golf course yet close to the beach. The dining offered a good variety of options with some room for improvement in freshness. Overall, a worthwhile stay with great value for money.

The hotel offers spacious and comfy rooms that are immaculate and newly renovated, although some areas like carpets and painting seem a bit tired considering the hotel's standard. Room 13 had a minor issue but was quickly resolved with a complimentary drink at the bar while we waited.
