We loved everything about our stay and will be back! Melissa at the front desk and Michael at the door were exceptional!

Michael United States of America

5 star attention to detail, huge bedrooms, very clean. Amazing staff, very friendly and courteous. Food and drink excellent. Not one thing could be faulted.

Grainne Ireland

I loved the history of the place and its magnificent common spaces, they make it unique. The grounds are extensive, yet they're 90% dedicated to golfing. Dining at the Pullman Restaurant was the highlight of our stay: excellent food, exquisite location, very friendly and accommodating staff: highly recommended.

Anna Switzerland

We loved our room, it was positioned in the middle of the hotel overlooking the Pullman restaurant. The air con was perfect for the current heatwave! The room was immaculately clean, sanitizer products were left for us along with some freshly baked treats as a welcome gift. The meal on the Pullman train was a special experience and our main server Amy was very kind and engaging! The breakfast was also delish, lots of gluten free options which was a bonus!

Ciara Ireland

Everything went well except our palmer restaurant experience was not good .we were booked on the 20th December and there was no table available eventually we were served but no social distancing took place .
