A unique place for a specific clientelle.
This is a unique hotel, which is well suited for those who are very sporty, golfers, serious ramblers, AND very brave drivers!
Our 'sat-nav' took us on crazy 'white knuckle' approach drive, ... which the staff found amusing, but was dreadful for our mental health and our car (and we are used to UK driving).
The food and the views were not worth the price or the drive.
The room was tired and the sheets smelled of vinegar.
We left early, forgoing the cost of our second night, the cream tea, etc.

Everything looks a little tired.
