Been to this hotel a few times, and even although we stay only 15 miles away, we feel that we could be miles away and leave feeling pampered and refreshed.

We stayed for Valentines 2008 in a Fairways Suite, and the room was top class. A huge lounge and dining area - very spacious with balcony overlooking the sea - and a small kitchen and guest toilet off the room.

Big double doors took us into a large bedroom with small balconette. The bathroom was huge with bath, separate shower and double basins. The room really was outstanding.

The spa has been renovated since we last visited and it is wonderful. The pool is still medium-sized but there is now a thermal suite and even a rooftop hot-tub. The treatment rooms are all modernised as well, to wonderful effect.

Unfortunately the main restaurant The Roadhole Grill was closed for refurb, so we had our Valentines meal in Sands, which was superb and although intimate doesnt have the same ambience as The Roadhole Grill.
I really couldnt recommend this hotel more, and easily beats The Fairmont for style and experience.

Could not have had a more fantastic time at the Old Course Hotel. The staff were so friendly and kind and, having had a minor problem with the room I booked, immediately upgraded me to a fantastic suite, overlooking the 17th hole and beach. They really made me feel special and this was much appreciated as I was by myself and visiting for the first (but not last) time. The pro shop staff were excellent and I have nothing but good things to say about the beautiful hotel, restaurant, staff and experience. Can't wait to go back!

I stayed at this fabulous property over Christmas and had a great experience. What sets this property apart from the vast majority out there are the service level and genuine hospitality you will receive. Fantastic restaurants, a world class spa with rooftop jacuzzi and views to die for. We will be back!

I stayed at this hotel for a work related conference. From the moment we arrived this hotel was top class. My colleague had only just parked her car and the door man was out to take our bags. Throughout our stay the service was friendly, effecient and first class. I had an excellent room overlooking the golf course and beach with a sitting area and bar plus even a WC for any visitors to the room. The bathroom was huge with a jacuzzi bath and wet room. As part of the conference we had lunch and dinner in the hotel as part of an organised package. Usually at these things the food is nothing great. Not so with the Old Course! Lunch was a very well presented buffet comprising a couple of hot dishes and salad items. Dinner was a very nice 3 course meal comprising fancy prawn cocktail, lamb and a trio of chocolate desserts. The only drawback with a place like this is the price of booze. My friend bought a round of 3 drinks and it cost her £23. We made use of the spa too. It was £20 per room to use the spa (£10 if you are in a single room). There is a pleasant 20 metre pool, hydrotherapy pools, steam room and sauna as well as the piece de resistance - a hot tub on the roof. I really enjoyed this hotel and would recommend it for a short stay.
