We stayed for a family birthday party last weekend. The room was extremely well appointed, clean and comfortable with a balcony overlooking the lake. The added bonus was sight of a kingfisher and a grey heron. The bed was roomy and comfortable, and as a result we slept in late, making us a little late for breakfast. The only downside was that there wasn't much breakfast left. This, obviously, was not the hotel's fault....we were just late! I would reccommend The Springs highly to anyone who likes a good night's sleep in comfortable surroundings. The staff were also polite and obliging. Well done to all.

The hotel is fine, but the golf course is not very interesting. The food was good, the wine was expensive and the staff were helpful.

We returned for a 1 night golfing break after visiting about 5 years ago. Staff friendly and service was very good. Food was excellent as before, but the house wine was expensive. Nice room with balcony overlooking the lake, unfortunately there was a group of 18 lady golfers who had no consideration for other residents, they were very noisy in the evening and again first thing in the morning out on the balconies, so sleeping in was not an option.
The golf course was great and hope to return again.

The room was lovely. But the rest of the place was tired, worn out, overpriced, understaffed. The reception staff were ok. The other staff members were very good. There just did not seem to be enough of them, prob due to the lack of customers. The food was mediochre for the price paid. The breakfast was ok. Evening meal, was poor. My starter was undercooked- raw eggs, so inedible so it was sent back. My husbands' food went cold as we waited. There wasn't any real apology or offering of a drink or some concession. We didn't ask, the waitress obviously didn't think it was a problem. Considering that there was only two other tables of diners in the whole place, it seemed ridiculous that the kitchen could screw up. Our mains were lack lustre in relation to the description on the menu and the price. We decided not to eat there again for the rest of our stay. Apart from our room which was lovely, the place looked and smelled like it had been cleaned to death, but it was obvious that it hadn't been decorated since the 1970's and was hanging on for dear life it was GHOSTLY. The interior of a place is not a big deal to us, but when you get rid of the kids for a few days and plan to spend some quality time with your partner and treat yourself to a weekend break- in a grown ups hotel, you expect it to be a pleasureable environment, not recovered broken chairs , minty threadbare carpets, holy ceilings and sticky wood everywhere. There is a golf club atttatched too, which makes it very picturesque, also there was a wedding on in the evening, so although we were allowed into the bar (by bar I mean a 6 foot open cupboard served by the restaurant staff, when they passed and noticed someone waiting)- we felt uncomfortable joining the wedding party. The wedding disco was held in the golf club house. So there was a lot of noise with the music and the guests toing anf froing from the hotel to the clubhouse.
