Absolutely gorgeous place to stay. Spotlessly clean.Dog friendly. Lovely staff. Really helpful reception. Beautiful views. Great facilities. Comfortable, cosy and beautiful rooms. Honestly we will be back. This was to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday and it went superbly. Can't fault anything.

Both golf courses were good. The hotel rooms were OK if a little tight but the common areas were rather soulless. We did have a gripe over dinner, clearly they portion the meals out by the gram and whilst I can understand it is a competitive business we were surprised to be told we could not have any bread (with prawn cocktail and pate started) even if we offered to buy a slice, it was explained this is firm rule "on the specific instructions of the General Manager" Oh dear...

Just back from a two night three rounds golf break. Given some of the rainfall I thought the courses were in good condition and enjoyed them both. We had a few elderly gents and the buggy hire rate is steep especially given some of the hills on the Hawkstone would make walking the course very difficult. Hotel was ok shower was broken in my room which to anyone cleaning inspecting would have been noticed. I did report to Reception so hopefully the next guest will benefit. Food in golf bar ok, evening meal the same breakfast good except the orange juice for price paid could have been concentrate and not like squash. No fresh fruit on Tuesday asked a member of staff and still not out 10 minutes later. Just some small attention to detail would improve things.

Absolutely perfect in every way We spent our Lady Captains Golf trip and Hawkstone - 3 days 2 nights The price was very good The hotel was lovely, the bedrooms, food, service was all superb The golf courses were excellent, we played both, the Championship for 2 days, the Old Course for 1 day - both were in superb condition, we were very lucky with the weather The food was very good, the portions were large and we certainly did not go hungry The facilities in the hotel restaurant and bar and the Golf Club itself were brilliant, the service was second to none We all had a fabulous time, made great by Hawkstone and the teams there

We played the hawkstone golf course and it was Beautiful Our rooms were a bit tired especially the bathroom and shower but the room was clean so no real complaint their However the service from one member of staff in the bar was very rude We were hoping for brunch before we played but the only things on offer on the very limited breakfast menu of fried egg sausage or bacon on a baguette I asked if it would be possible to have any form of egg other than fried.ie poached scrambled or boiled and I would be happy to pay extra …the waitress went to the kitchen and returned saying the kitchen does not have the facilities to make any of those Really a kitchen doesn’t have water and a pan.. At this point their were only 8 other customers in the room so not exactly busy Hungry I ordered bacon on granary bread (as you can imagine the waitress rolled her eyes when I asked for granary ) When it arrived the bacon was dried up and tough I asked for ketchup and was told “it’s in the corner over their if you want it” At Dinner the food was pretty good except the commotion with the cheese and cracker dessert .when my friend asked for a hovis cracker, the rest of us had one but she had been missed out and these were her favourites The waiter returned saying they don’t have anymore hovis crackers and walked away My friend called him back and said well any chance I could have a different type instead he said the crackers are already portioned out..my friend wasn’t backing down out of principle and said she wasn’t happy that she had one less cracker than everyone else and a few minutes later he returned with 2 Jacob’s cream crackers on a plate..hilarious Breakfast offerings were much the same as yesterdays brunch menu, dried up bacon sausage or fried egg .Cornflakes, croissants, half a bowl of mixed fruit that looked well past its best before date .very poor small niggles and service issues like this wind people up …as it did us For this reason we won’t return, shame when they have a beautiful golf course
