This hotel is not fit to be open. State of the rooms was horrendous. Breakfast was a joke. Receptionist and waitress were both lovely. Felt really sorry for the having to listen to everyone complaining.

It's in an amazing location and if you are lucky enough to get a front facing room, you have a fantastic view. Satff were all fab and it was a bonus to have a car park. We did feel the breakfast was expensive and there was no real restaurant to have evening dinner. There is a pub down stairs attached to hotel which was very nice.and they did serve pub type meals. We would def stay there again.

Very good location across from the Old Course. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Overall the hotel is very dated, and worn out. It deserves a major renovation to take advantage of its location.
