“Definitely worth the steep price!”
LikedThe staff were amazing, particularly the concierges, Nial and David! The fish and chips at The Jigger Inn might be the best I’ve had in the UK. The bartenders at The Road Hole were terrific.

LikedRoom was beautifully appointed... very comfortable. Dinner at the Road Hole REstaurant was perfect from starter to entree and wine... delicious and beautifully presented.
LikedThe staff was excellent. They are all very kind, personable and informative!
LikedTalk about a breakfast with a view!!!! Awesome breakfast , staff and dining room
LikedI absolutely loved the greeting when I passed from my room to breakfast or to the spa. I was greeted with sincere interest and was asked if I needed any help finding anything. I also cut myself on the pinky and was given a bandaid by staff and even some to keep for later. They were sooo sweet! Adored the front desk ladies as well. Absolutely loved the view we had for breakfast as well.
LikedWe had a brilliant stay for my wife’s birthday. The staff were exceptional from the moment we arrived — warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in making the occasion special. Our room had beautiful views across the course, which set the tone perfectly. The spa was a real highlight: calm, immaculate, and exactly what we needed to unwind. Breakfast was another standout, with quality ingredients and service that never felt rushed. Altogether, a memorable and faultless stay that made the birthday weekend feel truly special.
DislikedHonestly, the only downside was that the stay felt too short — everything else was exceptional.
LikedThe whole hotel was just beautiful! From the gorgeous signature scent in the reception area, to the very helpful staff, and the quality of the room and dining areas. The breakfast was absolutely superb! We loved that we could order a memory foam pillow, which was delivered quickly by the staff. An absolutely first rate stay!
LikedThe room was great with a fantastic view. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food in the Jigger Inn was good. We will definitely return.
