Spectacular location and facilities. It was just so relaxing sitting on the decking outside our room. Staff at the desk were extremely helpful. Restaurant and food were excellent.
The buildings need a bot of maintainance here and there but none of this bothered us at all.
Overall: We really enjoyed our stay and thoroughly recommend the hotel. (108386683)

Club House service was terrible. We checked in at 19:30 but could not get dinner till 21:00 and then we had to wait a further 15 minutes because the table was not cleared. Same at breakfast next morning. had to wait 15 minutes for table.
Overall: If booking Half-Board, the Hotel booking should include a booking time for Dinner. We were made to feel that we were lucky to get meal of any kind. Our meal at the Oaks Restaurant on Saturday evening was excellent. This was booked at check-in. (108528536)

facilities were excellent, room service was excellent and the ladies who clean the room were very friendly, helpful and polite
inability to charge my mobile phone so could not kep in contact with family and could not use in an emergency situation whilst out cycling in the hills
Overall: was expecting more of a Hilton Hotel so didn't quite meet my expectations which was a disappointment (108457333)
Why do we publish ratings from Active Hotels?
Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.
How do I add a rating?
Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.
All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.
How do you manage to collect so many ratings?
48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
