Absolutely gorgeous spot to stay and felt so private. The food was top notch as was the staff. And the balcony of the restaurant was perfect to watch the sunset over the bay each night. Im not a golfer but the beautiful course makes me want to learn to play. Thanks, Shane Hoskins

Stay was Wonderfull. Getting to the facility and into town is a challenge as taxi’s are inconsistent. The Golf is wonderful, golf staff could have been more helpful as we nearly ran out of golf balls (wish they had encouraged us to purchase extra as we were renting) the course is very challenging and absolutely breathtaking with beauty. I would absolutely return for another trip.

The blonde haired girl that worked the reception was very friendly and helpful. Was given a handicap room but we did not book one so the sink was shallow and very low. For 2 days our toilet did not flush so we had to use the toilet by the golf shop—very inconvenient. The front desk said they would move us to another room after someone checked out. When I inquired about the new room the gentleman behind the front desk waved a piece of paper at me and said he had accepted a reservation on the vacant room. The restaurant was very good. The maiterde was excellent. Service was slow sometimes but staff was always very friendly and helpful. The lobster bisque was my favorite. The salmon was as very good and so was the duck. The breakfast was also very good.

DO NOT STAY HERE
Where to begin with this place: - reservation: made a refundable reservation in April through hotels.com. A few days later, wanted to amend the reservation from 3 to 2 days. The hotel wouldn’t pick up, hotels.com couldn’t reach them. Either way, hotels.com said it would be fine. Fast forward to the stay in June, I show them the email, they acknowledge the attempt and say we’re good at check in. At check out, they refuse to give me a bill of my stay saying I made it through a third party service (having stayed at hubdreads of hotels I have never seen this before). Of course, they charge me for the 3 nights. It’s been a week and they are still refusing to pay me back. Nightmare! - Rooms: we stayed in 2 rooms that weee beyond tiny, holiday inn style quality and paying £300 pounds a night. Stay at the Port Charlotte or the Islay for much better value Service - my husband was preparing for knee surgery and they did nothing to help him. No wheelchair on site. We were told to walk the golf course to find my dad even though the course was empty and they could have driven or lent us a golf cart. 0 help for his disability. Restaurant - the food is awful. Don’t eat here. Had to order a steak raw for something even close to medium. £55 surf and turf was barely edible.
