Fantastic Golf Retreat
gluten-free optionsexcellent dessertloose lid
The breakfast was very generous. Gluten-free options such as cereal and bread were available. There was even a dedicated toaster. I enjoyed a Murphy's Irish Stout, as well as excellent desserts at the bar.
The shower had very strong water pressure. the toilet lid was loose. This made it slightly inconvenient.
