I’ve just returned from our annual Ryder Cup-style golf event, which we hosted this year at Old Thorns—and I felt compelled to leave a review. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. Every single member of staff we encountered over the weekend was exceptional—bar staff, golf operations, restaurant teams, spa staff, and reception—everyone went above and beyond. As a group of 36 golfers, we’ve visited many venues over the years, but the service we received at Old Thorns was without question the best we’ve ever experienced. Nothing was too much trouble. Every request was met with a smile and a can-do attitude, and the professionalism of the entire team was clear throughout. The same can be said for the booking process and all communication leading up to the event—friendly, helpful, and seamless from beginning to end. A special thank you also to the green-keeping team. The course was in incredible condition despite the high volume of traffic it must see, and the greens, in particular, were the best we’ve ever played on—absolutely first-class. The facilities at Old Thorns are second to none, and the positive feedback from our group has been overwhelming. I genuinely don’t know how we’ll top this year’s event—but one thing’s for certain: we’ll absolutely be back. Highly, highly recommended.

Just back from a Tranquil Spa weekend (this is my fourth time here!). As always, our stay was lovely - comfortable rooms and lovely spa facilities. One member of staff in particular (a lady on reception, unfortunately didn't get her name!) was so lovely and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. However, the man who serves the carvery meat could do with some tips on being friendly from this lady! Breakfast was nice with a relaxed atmosphere. Same with afternoon tea. We'll definitely be back! Thank you Old Thorns.

Excellent service, especially Dan, who kindly helped me and my friends with our bags. Food amazing. Entertainment outstanding. Just a couple of stars knocked off for the actual accommodation and pool area. Both are very outdated and tired looking. Air con in rooms would be a great added bonus and a general clean and refurbish of the wet rooms, especially the foot spa, as it smelt very badly of stale water. This would not put me off going again, though, so I totally recommend a night away for a bit of pampering and relaxation 😀

Dear Old Thorns. I just wanted to let you know how super impressed I am with every single member of Staff at your amazing Resort. The welcome we received was second to none. The waiting staff in the Restaurant putting up with a load of annoying men were immaculate. Special mentions to Amy ( young Cocktail waitress on her first week), Sophia on reception for looking for my Range Finder and another 2 receptionists ( cant recall their names sadly) for finding and returning my shirts !!! Also a mention to the Golf Staff and Spa staff all of whom were impeccable to make our stay excellent

It’s more of a 3 star resort than 4 star. None of the rooms have aircon. They provide a tower fan and a heater. It’s not enough, I barely slept during these hot summer nights. You can’t open the window because it doesn’t open all the way for safety. I paid £219 for an average room. I’ve paid less for better rooms with more facilities. Location is middle of nowhere but the resort has plenty of facilities which families would enjoy. I expected a bit more class with this hotel resort but it wasn’t that. It’s definitely more for family and people into golf. Breakfast is full buffet, ironically the like families sat nearby each other and the quiet couples (us) were seated far away on the other side of the restaurant. I did find that the official website offers better prices compared to booking.com. My standard room was £210 and they were offering a penthouse for £180.
