This is a fabulous property!! The hotel is absolutely gorgeous and luxurious. The rooms are decorated beautifully with very comfortable beds. The bathroom was sparkling clean. The food options were great. We had dinner and breakfast next morning and both meals were delicious. The staff was super friendly and went out of their way to give us recommendations for things to do/see and to show us how to get places! I highly recommend this hotel and hope to be back for a longer visit!

Fantastic hotel and staff, friendly, professional, helpful. Because of them I managed to play at the Old Course (I’m from Canada, I didn’t know golf would be available this time of year… they gave me the idea and helped me make it happen!) The atmosphere was great, it seemed like all guests were having a good time. The “One Under” pub downstairs was fantastic… I had a great time thank you for everything guys!
