Staff:
Cannot fault the helpful and friendly attitude of the staff - they really were excellent in every way.
Golf:
The course was excellent but beware!!! the millpond flat putting practice area gives no clue as to the 1:10 nature of many of the greens - I think there is only one 'nearly flat' one and the rest are about as challenging as it's possible to make greens without needing mountaineering gear.
Food:
Breakfast was pretty mediocre but getting down early might have made it more appealing. That said, the food was excellent in the restaurant and the service really wonderful.
Rooms:
The rooms, the public areas and the building, in its entirety, is old and dated and smells that way too. The whole place is in desperate need of updating, decorating and generally bringing into this century. It's dark, dingy, tired and really if it wasn't for the golf and the fact it was a birthday present weekend away, I'd have left and gone home.
For golfers only really or weddings where location/setting is the most important aspect.

Thank you for your review and kind comments. I am pleased that you found the course challenging and the staff helpful and friendly, this is what keeps people coming back to Gatton Manor.
I am pleased to say that we have plans for further refurbishments to be undertaken to further enhance the Clubhouse and bedrooms in the very near future. When you return, please ask to see one of our Manor rooms or Manor Deluxe Rooms which have already benefitted from these improvements.
