We got interested by the original menu in the hotel-restaurant, although the short menu from the bar was also quite popular. Super-n...

their Pet policy needs to be fixed, you can't even take a small dog to the terrace or have breakfast, I haven't seen that anywhere in a Pet friendly hotel. Their rooms are old and the spa is pretty basic. but overall the golf experience was good.
