Stayed with a few friends for a 2 night golf break. Can't fault the price or facilities which are very good value for what you pay, with a couple of decent golf courses. The issue is with the service, which was universally slow and usually without much in the way of a smile. The bar staff always appeared overworked despite... More

Was here on a golf weekend, so wasnt looking for perfection, just friendly, adequately organised service. Whilst nothing would have detracted from us enjoying the trip, it is clear that the service in the hotel could do with a little direction: Reception staff... charmless- when we tried to check in, we were instructed to wait 10 minutes. Our explaination that... More

I am sorry that you felt ignored but the hotel check in time is 2pm & I can assure you that I have never seen our Receptionists having a chat & ignoring customers. I wish you could identify the persons to me. Breakfast is extremely busy and we do our best to clear tables & refill juice etc. However due... More

Were not expecting us for breakfast even though we had booked. Changed our tee off time without telling us. Buggies were muddy, dirty, mine had no windscreen and others had cracks or holes in screen, one only just got around 18 holes on its charge. No soap, shampoo in room. Evening meal on Sunday service slow and had spent too... More

You booked through a golf travel agency & regretfully they did not inform us that you had requested breakfast. Your tee times were not altered - we booked you in at the time closest to the ones requested by the agency. Maybe you should contact them. Dirty buggies-no excuse except the weather- three windscreens had been recently damaged by over... More

I attended a function at The Wiltshire on Saturday and must compliment the Staff, from the Chef that cooked a really great 3 course meal, the Cheesecake was outstanding, to the very polite and helpful bar staff and least of all your Restaurant Manager (Mathew) who really did an outstanding job making sure that everyone was happy, I only realized...

I have used the Wiltshire a few times and have not had any of the problems that others seem to have experienced. The rooms are "corporate standard" equipped and laid out, but always clean and everything work. The place is a very quiet location. The health club is reasonable but it is free so why worry about it? The internet... More

Have just returned from a golfing break at The Wiltshire - terrible weather, over which they have no control but if this was a private Members Club the course would have been closed. (No! we are not fairweather golfers!) The paths, tees, fairways and greens all had large puddles on them. If they want to keep the course open during... More

Firstly apologies for the lack of good weather. Had the course been closed you would have been unable to play & I would think, have been even more unhappy; therefore we endeavour to keep it open. Fortunately, following heavy investment, we have good drainage on both courses but with the heavy rainfall it did get very wet & muddy. I... More
