7/10 Good! (426 reviews)

The resort definitely needs some TLC, since it's been up for sale needed updates and repairs are just not happening. Having said that the place is comfortable and clean and the staff are fantastic. We were a bit disappointed that the restaurant is now only open on Friday and Saturday nights but understandable considering how quiet the place is through the week. The upside is that there's almost no one there mid week so you almost have the place to yourself. The nearby pub and cafe/Indian restaurant have excellent food 7 days a week. The golf is great and the course is well maintained although the cart paths are bit neglected. If you want a couple of days away somewhere quiet and comfortable this is it.
