Away for a lads weekend, and there was a surprising and inauspicious start. The surprise, to see my name on a stand being welcomed as a stay and play weekender as I entered reception, nice! The inauspiciousness? Being told that there were two wakes and a rotary meeting on, meaning we couldn't get either a beer or lunch before our afternoon tee off, coupled with the understanding the we'd have to 'eat last' at 7.30pm (it was noon). After that, things generally got better. Evening meal was good, accommodation was also good (freaked out by radiators that looked like TVs!). Breakfast service was very average both days, there was only one lady on, and she worked at one pace. The 'static' solids and fluids were only replaced when asked for, so being very English things were very bare on the Saturday as nobody had the guts to ask for more, before people got peeved off on the Sunday and there was more available. Full English was good for me (but cooked faaaaaar better on the Sunday than the Saturday), the 'veggie' equivalent not so good as it was just mine minus bacon, sausage and black pudding with no replacements or doubles. Evening meal was mixed, but generally positive. Golf course was great! Relatively short (driver can stay at home if you want), but key for a stay and play, NO BLIND TEE SHOTS! So you always knew what you were doing, and I say this despite not a single member of the party scoring over 30 all weekend...

Wanted to try Sunday Lunch at the Lakeside Restaurant (Calderfields Golf & Country Club) so booked a table.
Courteously received and shown to a lovely window table with great views of the golf course, fountain etcetera. Drinks ordered, we went to the carvery.
Very adequate choice of meats and vegetables, plates were a little small but we were quickly through with a great choice of mustards, horseradish, cranberry etcetera.
Fantastic beef, thick, beautifully tender and a decent portion. Vegetables a good choice all nicely cooked, not sloppy, not hard and undercooked.
Excellent visit, very happy and will certainly be going again. Very reasonable bill, so very very happy.

Booked through golf breaks for a Sunday night 2 rounds of golf dinner bed breakfast. Arrived early nice welcome lodge was available. Booked to play 18 holes at 14.36 to be told have to be in dining room at latest for 17.30 as carvery packs up at 18.00. Dissapointed but decided to play 9holes. A rush but made it for 17.00 for a pre dinner drink. Food was lovely as were the staff but did feel as we were the only ones eating that we were holding things up. Took our wine outside. We were then told bar cashed up (19.15) and the club was closing. So that was it bed at 19
30. The whole site to ourselves but nothing to do. Not the night we had hoped for. Loved the golf and food but would warn others do not book a golf break there on a Sunday. We felt like norman no mates.

We had our wedding at Calderfields and aside from the staff being so friendly and welcoming the rooms were made to look bright and cheerful. We had around 150 guests on the evening and they can open up extra rooms to accommodate more if needed.

We stayed here for 2 nights to attend a wedding-the reception of which was at Calderfields. The cabins are of a decent size and overlook the golf course and a lake with a fountain in the distance-the highlight of the stay was the view from the cabin early in the morning and watching the early golfers go out. The cabins have tea/coffee making facilities, a decent sized tv and bathroom with a walk in shower. We had booked for an evening meal but there was no-one else there-Calderfields it appeared to us dealt with large group bookings-weddings etc, but not individuals, we had to wait 30 minutes just for a menu and we were in the process of walking out. The food here is not up to standard-the chips were soggy and the menu does not have enough choice-that said the meal at the wedding reception was better-the breakfast also was not good-there is no choice and it it is either a full english or nothing-the cold buffet was also poor. We would stay again for the experience but not the food. The course itself is looked after very well and for a golfing experience this would be ideal.

Last minute booking here. We stayed in a cabin which looked lovely on approach , when we entered the cabin it needed a little TLC . . Not a nice smell on entering ,opened the windows ,the latches on one window we’re broken .
We pushed the twin beds together they obviously don’t move the beds to clean as the dirt on the skirting board wasn’t nice .
Carpet badly worn and looked dirty.
The plug in the sink in the bathroom didn’t fit properly couldn’t have a proper wash .
We went for food and the staff were so helpful and pleasant . The black leather sofas in the drinking area were ripped and looked like they needed to go to the dump.
These lovely cabins could be so lovely and I wouldn’t mind paying more if they put more attention to detail
Would I stay here again . No

Took my Golf Society for a game here last week. The day was helped by some excellent weather but also by the great welcome we received from the venue after making all the arrangements through Jamie Cundy the golf pro. The bacon roll and coffee with a round of golf deal was excellent value. The Golf shop is well stocked with helpful staff and the 10% off vouchers we were given as a society on arrival was a nice surprise. The course itself has improved a lot since I last played. Fairly flat and an easy walk it has some tight tee shots and a nice variation of holes. Maintenance appeared to be good and the greens were flat and true and in good condition. Would definitely recommend for a good value society day. **This review is based on the golf, not on the hotel as we didn't stay overnight**
