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!

1- like other reviewers, I also experienced plumbing issues ( hot water delay) water not maintaining temperature. 2- As a global traveler, this was the smallest room I ever stayed in. 3- For breakfast, I felt like porridge was microwaved and pancakes were from Tesco. 4- breakfast service was attentive
