Had afternoon tea yesterday which was superb. The waiter was friendly and kept checking that we had everything we needed and kept us topped up with tea. The quality of the food was excellent and and a fab selection. We sat in the conservatory, the atmosphere was lovely. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all 6 of us. Highly recommend

Overnight stay in this beautiful and very quiet resort that was very relaxing and peaceful. The staff here are wonderful and nothing is too much trouble for them. It is advisable to book a table in advance if you wish to eat in, as it seems very popular. The rooms and the hotel throughout are of a high standard and very clean. A stay here is highly recommended.

Poor check in experience, room wasn't ready at 3pm, was asked to wait until one would become available (but wouldn't be given an exact time). Was told check in is FROM 3pm; surely they don't treat check out as FROM 11am. Wanted to get to the room asap so was eventually given a different room category to what I had booked with a window facing a wall and staircase. Rooms and hotel feel dated. Wouldn't recommend.

Overall the complex is superb. The two golf courses are excellent and in great condition. The hotel has very good facilities and provides s good service. I was there on a golfing package Sunday/Monday 22nd/23rd May and our evening meal was good with the staff coping well with us and several other parties. The lower "Service" score is a reflection of the service we experienced in the "Golf Clubhouse after our rounds of golf.

The staff on duty did well but it was quite clear there were nowhere enough staff to deal with all the people wanting eat and drink before and after their rounds; a 30 minute wait for a simple cheese baguette/sandwich! That said it was still a really good experience

Went to the vale resort for a spa day. Staff were really lovely and helpful. We couldn't stay in the jacuzzi for more than 10 min as the chlorine seemed really strong and was burning our eyes, there was another couple and a gentleman in there that said the same but also mentioned it's not usually like that but today was seemed really strong. I'm not a pool person so we were really looking forward to spending time in the jacuzzi so it was a real shame.

The massage was amazing, so relaxing. Afternoon tea was disappointing, sandwiches were lovely and fresh. Scones seemed like cheap shop bought ones and where so dry the stuck to the roof of your mouth they were awful. Cakes were ok nothing special, macaroons my absolute fav had no filling in the centres really disappointed for a 4 star hotel. Although we made the best of it not what you expect for almost 200 for 2 people. I wouldn't go again and, this is disappointing as I lots of my friends have had lovely experiences here. Maybe today was just unlucky.
