Shaw Hill Golf Resort & Spa Hotel, Exclusive Hire

Here at Shaw Hill for a New Year gourmet dinner. The food has been excellent and the service very good indeed. Lovely setting to let the new year in. Staff have been so helpful and at this point the evening has exceeded our expectations. We visited the venue the week before Christmas, to change 2 items for my wife on the set dinner. Everything came as requested and something of a first when comparing to other venues.

Christmas party. Awful. Crammed as many people in as possible. Even stuck my party on a table with people we didn't know, uncomfortable. Dreadful DJ playing obvious boring party tunes a 12 year old could have thought up, no effort. Dance floor very small for number of people there. Food average, drinks very expensive, not enough bar staff.

Pros: Friendly, helpful staff, the food was very nice. Cons: the rooms we stayed in were damp and it was showing around the windows and also smelt of damp, very very basic rooms for what we was charged. The shower was put together incorrectly, hot was cold, cold was hot, on was off and so on. Other guests were having after parties once the bar closed in rooms until around 3:30am, keeping members of our family awake. “Members” of the golf club were very rude to staff and guests, thinking they were above other paying guests, they were also prioritised at the bar over other guests so you was waiting for a drink for a while. Overall it wasn’t a very good stay and we won’t be coming back in a hurry.
