Welbeck Manor and Golf

Whilst visiting Plymouth for a family birthday, we decided to treat ourselves to a more upmarket hotel than our usual choice. I'm pleased to say that Welbeck Manor was everything it promised to be. On arrival, we were greeted by Louise on reception who not only checked us in but showed us to our room and even offered to assist with our luggage - that's definitely a service you don't get in many places these days. We had a lovely, comfortable (and very spacious) room overlooking the golf course and thoroughly enjoyed the excellent breakfast in the morning. I would definitely recommend it for a treat, and the room rates are not over the top for what you get.

Golf course is the worst course on Earth. A hole in your own kitchen sink makes a better golf course than this. The tee boxes and the greens are battered, potholed messes. Tee boxes and greens look like they were strafed by Gerry in WWII and have never since been repaired. Kiddies' pitch n putts have better quality surfaces and make for golf than this and for half the price. Absolutely gobsmacked at the awful state of the golf course.

Had a great few hours at Welbeck Manor today. Round of golf followed by cold beers and lunch. I’m not a golfer (terrible to be honest) so great if you are learning the art. Best bit was once the sticks were put away. Beer was good and most welcome. Not had fish and chips for ages so picked it off the menu for lunch. Delivered fresh, in really good time (quicker than expected) and the food was excellent. Good size, perfectly cooked, accompaniment’s were fab and the chips were to die for. They were better than the Barbican, Plymouth whose chip shops and restaurants are known for great chips. Very impressed today. Amazing view whilst dining too. Also, staff wise, they were great. Mainly looked after by Karen (new member) and she was lovely. Friendly, happy, helpful, attentive etc. Brilliant.
