Nice hotel, facilities, and environment, spoiled by a little lacking professionalism in the staff. (107241090)

positive comments nice room with a double view over the golf course. Good food in the resaurant.
negative comments The staff were lacking in the professional touch that you would expect from a hotel of this stature. Serving in the resaurant was lacking the finer touch expected. Reception was unable to put through a call to our room twice.

MARY from NORTHAMPTON, GB (Mature couple) 29 April 2008

Nothing to gripe about at all. We were revisiting the area I grew up in so I had lots of local knowledge even if some of the roads had moved!! The weather was unkind but who cares we weren't at work and that's all that mattered. This was the 3rd hotel in as many nights and undoubtably the best. (97689409)

positive comments The price and the views over the golf course.

john from salisbury, GB (Mature couple) 22 March 2008

This was a last minute booking for a visit we had to make to an ancient relative. We were pleased to find this hotel online at an exceptional price. Excellent room, a proper breakfast and an excellent peaceful location. Visiting a relative or not we would like to return - and next time stay longer and bring the golf clubs and swimming costumes! (97531318)

A very pleasing and relaxing stay in a delightful area on the outskirts of Plymouth. Staff were all very helpful and obliging. The room was spacious and well equiped. The only downside was the noisy air conditioning fan that was located below our bedroom window . (99080891)

positive comments Spacious accomodation in pleasant surroundings ( overlooking golf course)

We enjoyed the stay and will definately be coming back, as the staff are realy friendly and the Golf course, and health spa are a fine diversion! (99349447)

positive comments The Room sizes are fantastic, and the fit fit & finish is to a good standard.
negative comments There are quite a few scuff marks and rough edges around the hotel, and the dining areas could do with a spruce up. Is it a golf club house, brasserie?.

debra from hawarden, United Kingdom;GB (Group of adult friends) 25 May 2006

We would definitely not book this accomodation again. This was definitely not value for money. (3304180123)

negative comments The first room we were given was awful, the bed was like sleeping on a table, there were marks all over the floor, light bulb not working and cobwebs. When asked the following morning to be moved we told that it had been a superior room and that they only had standard rooms available. This was much better than the so called superior room. Our friends in another room were over the function room which had functions on for both nights.

Sally from Box 2002, United Kingdom (Family with young children) 03 June 2005

On the whole we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hotel was comfortable and large enough so that we didn't worry about our young children making a noise. The staff were friendly and courteous. However, though I had e-mailed the hotel to notify them that it was my husband's birthday on our day of arrival, they took no notice. A bunch of flowers or a bottle of plonk in the bedroom would have been a nice touch. (2230439)

positive comments We reserved a family room. It was huge with a bunk bed for the children, fabulous views of the golf course and tea making facilities. However, the bed was very uncomfortable!
negative comments The breakfast was chaotic and slow. Tables were not laid for late-comers. There was no fresh bread or rolls.

Carrie from Plymouth, United Kingdom;GB (Young couple) 15 February 2005

We stayed after having a meal elsewhere and thus arrived at the hotel quite late at night. It would have been nice to be able to check out slightly later as we were in the hotel for less than twelve hours in total. This did not give us much chance to actually experience any of the other facilities, bar or tour the grounds. The hotel and the room were absolutely gorgeous and the only thing that I personally would have liked would have been candles available in the room for a bit of romanticism. I would recommend this hotel without a shadow of a doubt (1913501)

positive comments We had the bridal suite; the jacuzzi bath, four poster bed and view
negative comments None really, see below

Christine from Stockport, United Kingdom (Mature couple) 06 January 2005

I had previously tried to book this hotel direct, and was told that the New Year package was compulsory when rooms were booked at the special rate of £90 per night. I was therefore delighted to find that I could book the rooms at the same rate with your company, without having to book the New Year Gala meal at £60 per person. (1694096)

positive comments Good facilities, spacious rooms and helpful staff. Very easy to book with Active Hotels
negative comments Quite isolated with no convenient public transport near by. A car is necessary for getting out and about, especially when the weather is bad.
