Good hotel; could be a lot better with a more joined-up approach between departments and better staff training. Food was good, service was frantic. Golf course in summer / dry weather would be very good; after or during wet weather, best to avoid. Spa is a bit of an afterthought given the size of the hotel. Overall, a great setting, not a bad hotel, just felt a little short-changed

They stored our golf clubs in a drying room and our overnight bags whilst we played golf on the first day. We were albe to check in prior to playing albeit the rooms were not available so early to give us more time after our golf game. Spa facilites excellent and the ladies who didnt play one day were taken to Bowood House to do a tour.

Probably 4 and a half stars, only glitch is the incredibly slow service in the main restaurant when more than half full. On one occasion we waited over 50 minutes before even a basket of bread arrived. There is no buffet breakfast for cold items (all waited service) so be prepared to get there early or you might miss your tee time. Expensive but almost worth it.

The bar gents were amazing and were very helpful and knowledgeable, restaurant weren’t horrible or rude just look like they definitely need training. I had no tv remote in my room - again they were trying to sort out. I had to wait half an hour but it still didn’t work ( I just had to turn the tv over manually) , but just expect a bit More really to be honest.

Have to say that the one let down of the trip was the food. Chef was unable to cook a simple steak rare. I sent it back and the waitress returned it saying that this was as rare as the chef could get it...seemed very odd as it was clearly medium rare / medium. Order an accompanying peppercorn sauce and it was without doubt the worst sauce I have ever had. No flavour and basically the consistency of water. Very poor. Breakfast in the morning also a let down. All items stone cold. disappointing to say the least

Generally a good test. Greens are well kept and mostly consistent. Course was waterlogged and annoyingly lost a few balls plugged somewhere in fairways. Rough needs thinning out; anything not on the fairway / green is almost always a lost ball. In dry weather / summer, would play very well, and take no prisoners. After prolonged rain / during winter, it’s a slog and best avoided. Apparently no management of handicaps - the course is set up for PGA competitions, yet many 4-balls ahead of us were hacking around in 4.5-5 hours, with general golfing etiquette to match - we waited a lot….great setting though, sure a 2-ball twilight, mid-week in summer would be lovely

We played towards the end of Jan so the course was a little wet in places but perfectly playable. Bowood is a great track, some really lovely holes. It was playing very long due to the lack of run so if you are not a long hitter and play it in the winter be prepared to be hitting in rescues or long irons to most of the greens. It has without doubt the best positioned bunkers of any course I have played. You really need to drive the ball long and straight to avoid them. Rough was not too punishing but they tell me in the summer it is knee high. All in all a great course and we all agreed that we would like to return in the summer to test ourselves again when the course will have a bit of bounce on the fairways and hopefully the sun will be on our back
