Pros: Location beside the beach was ideal. Comfy - it was quiet but then again it was February! Lovely room for a delicious breakfast.

Morne 8/10

Pros: Awesome location and the restaurant \u0026 bar staff were extremely helpful and friendly

Cons: Table and bed side lamps weren’t working. We booked in around 17:00 and when reporting the issue, was tiles that maintenance staff left at 17:00. This should’ve been checked before or fixed at the same time

Margaret 10/10

Perfect location for a tranquil stay.

Pros: The breakfasts looked and smelled delicious, however my travelling companion can not eat more than a slice of toast and I feel guilty eating when he can`t. Anywhere else I would have asked for the breakfast as a take away for later, but was on my best behaviour, being in a five star hotel, my first time ever. Staff were all lovely and friendly, other guests happy to chat and nice to see dog friendly areas with friendly dogs.

Cons: There was nothing not to like, everything was perfect, truly the stuff that dreams are made of.

Another enjoyable stay at Royal Golf Hotel. Will return again soon

Pros: The staff, the quality of the Restaurant which has greatly improved since our last visit

Jon 10/10

Germany 🇩🇪

Surreal.

Pros: From Phillip to Gerald the gamekeeper, including Alexander and the lovely lady who served me my traditional Highland fish breakfast but I’ve forgotten her name (Victoria?), all the staff, especially the kitchen staff for the marvellous food, went beyond the pale. I recommend this haven of peace. The summer might be a different ballgame altogether.

Cons: Nothing.

Fantastic location, food and staff. Lovely!

Pros: We took our dog and loved the paws pack of biscuits and a toy for him in the room. We had dinner in the cosy bar area where he was allowed and breakfast in the restaurant without him in the morning, where the daylight views were amazing. Staff all so friendly and helpful, a really lovely way to celebrate Hogmanay

All in all a lovely hotel for a short break 👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Pros: Lovely hotel in an amazing location , clean and cosy , also staff were super friendly .

Cons: Only thing we didn’t enjoy on our 2nd night of a 2 night stay was a sleepless night due to what sounded like Shrek snoring all night long next door . On the first night it was silent and relaxing so I don’t think this is a fault of the hotel unless they deliberately housed a hippopotamus with a nasal condition next door 🤔
