Overpriced. I honestly think this hotel charges so much purely because they have a spa and golf course, the rooms certainly don't reflect the price.

Hotel was very clean and well maintained. Hotels.com guests do not get spa included in price though and are charged £40 on arrival. This should be clearer advertised when booking.
