Room was clean and well presented - limited dining for families with small children early evening, pool space was a little untidy but all staff were friendly and welcoming… Overall we enjoyed our weekend away…
Our stay was pleasant. We stayed there as we had a private function to attend in Beaudesert...easy drive. Great dinner at tavern nearby and lovely breakfast & good coffee at local cafe. Staff couldn't be more helpful. Would happily stay again.

Room was big enough, bed was comfortable and the whole was very peaceful and calming surrounded by wildlife and nature. Would definitely recommend staying here. All the locals were very friendly and the cafe down the road was amazing.
Lovely quiet country town with beautiful peaceful surrounds. We were there only for a night passing through but will definitely be back again.

The property is tired but I didn't like that the upkeep on balcony, shade covers, gardens is not up to date. Needs a good wash down. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms need updating. Lovely, lovely outlook and so quiet.
This is one of our most favourite places to get away for a few nights and play on an awesome golf course.
Staff are lovely and very accommodating both at the resort and the local pub which is only a 5-minute walk from the resort. Plenty of choices with the buffet breakfast.
A place that is close to home, but you really feel as though you are on holiday when staying here.

Location was really nice and beds were very comfortable and well cleaned. The shower curtains however had a little dirt on them and the shower water was irritable on the eyes after some time. The balcony table wasn’t properly cleaned, but staff were really nice and check in and check out was quick and smooth. Overall good place to stay if you are looking for a weekend getaway to play golf or visit the countryside.

Mixed reviews
I read the varying reviews on this hotel and I was a little wary but tbf we had no issues with the place.
Yes it’s dated but it sort of goes with the wackiness of it all. Good sleep, decent room with a view, great breakfast and all within a reasonable price.
The view from upper rooms are just worthy of * themselves.
Don’t be put off by bad reviews the hotel is fine and cheap.
