OLD GOLF HOUSE

Only seen the reviews about this hotel after I booked and unable to cancel. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel for anyone especially families. Looks like there’s down and outs staying at this hotel and congregate outside for a smoke. Talk about feeling unsafe. Also had a rude awakening at 6 in the morning by an Indian woman banging on my door. Stay well away because the staff wasn’t interested when I told them about it. As for the breakfast. Nothing was kept cool. The juice and milk was room temperature.

We stayed in this hotel many years ago and found it very charming with friendly and helpful staff and excellent service. How disappointed we were on our recent visit. I’m not sure it warrants the title of “hotel”. One member of staff on duty at front desk, no restaurant, no bar, no apparent services that would be expected in this type of hotel. Very tired and run down. A faint smell of damp and cannabis throughout. People lingering around the hotel entrance at least one of them definitely smoking cannabis (hence the lingering smell). Bed very uncomfortable, looked very old and well worn. One staff on duty was extremely helpful and did give us complementary toast and cereal for breakfast. This hotel could be returned to its original charm, it’s a beautiful building and has a lot of potential. It’s a shame it’s been left to be so run down.

The hotel was a complete disappointment.The dated decor, the stiflingly hot room , cigarette burns on the bathroom counter top, 1 large bath towel for a couple, the very poor bed, the hairdryer that sounded like it had loose ball bearings inside.. What was a long weekend turned out to be 1 restless night and an early departure. Oh and what the lovely pictures don't show is how run down and overgrown everywhere is. The cherry on this cake is the M62 Is just behind the trees. Thinking of booking???
