Nice stay at the lodge. Shower was wonderful but sensor light kept turning the lights out during the shower. All you can do is laugh! Beautiful location with a great staff. I loved the grilled chicken salad! read more

Wow what a good carvery and a beautiful setting!…read more We were invited to Kendalshire golf club for a surprise 70th birthday meal. I'd never even heard of it so wasn't sure what to expect. Although it's a golf course, the grounds are really quite beautiful. As we entered the club house I did have a small panic as I saw a dress code pinned to the door, thankfully it was only football shirts, beach wear and sports shorts that were banned so trainers were fine! There was indoor and outdoor seating. Our table was all prepared indoors but we had some time so took our drinks outside and enjoyed watching the golfers go by as there was a green directly in front. There is also a beautiful garden to the right that my son enjoyed running around in. Now down to business, the carvery! My first thoughts were a little disappointing as there was only beef or turkey, roasters, yorkshire pud and TWO types of veg. Every other carvery I've been to has always had a massive selection. But where this carvery lacked in selection it certainly made up for in quality. The beef was cooked beautifully and slightly pink in the middle, the turkey was juicy and you got a massive yorkshire pud! The veg wasn't over cooked at all which is normally the case. So as far as carvery's go this is the best quality one I've been to. It was £11 a head and worth every penny. As for the golf I haven't got a clue!

At the main entrance (that is, where the gatehouse is, not down in the hill around Bedminster) go straight along the road and then take the first right, going up the hill. You'll come to a little car park and a slightly desolate looking hut. The hut is where you can hire clubs and balls (remember not to smack it into the bushes...) and get putting. It's run by the council, which means its a) cheap and b) not full of stuffy old men, the two usual vices of a golf course. Give your ball a thwack and follow it round the course, nobodies going to judge you. The only downside I can think of is that things can get a bit congested, especially if the weather is even vaguely nice. You may have to wait a little while, or have people queueing up behind you, to use one of the holes. Making golf a bit less of the pursuit of old men at country clubs, the pitch and put golf course is a great way for those of us that think golf looks like a lark to give it a try.
I used to hate golf until two of my mates practically dragged me across the bridge to Ashton Court…read morefor some pitch and putt. What can I say? I was almost instantly seduced by the satisfying feeling of smacking a little ball as hard as you can with a massive piece of metal, and the faraway sound of ball on deer. It's great value - £6.50 gets you 18 holes and a great view across the whole of Brizzle and beyond on a fine day. The only problem is that, when the sun's out, it can get pretty busy, and there's nothing guaranteed to give an amateur the yips more than a queue of people staring and tutting as you continually swing and miss at the ball off the tee. One tip: the course on the Bristol side of AC offers more variation, and there's even one par five hole where you can get your wood out and give it a real thrashing.
The Doomsday oak (so named because it is listed in the doomsday book) is found on the course, taken from their website

I had a wicked time at the Pirate Pay Adventure Golf, loads of fun!…read more My Mum wanted to check this place out for a potential fun activity to do with her colleagues outside of work. We paid £7:50 per adult for the adventure golf course that took us around an hour to complete. 18 holes with nearly all being 3 par. The design looks brilliant! and really adds to the experience. I absolutely love the moving platforms that you need to pull ropes to get from one hole to the other. Everyone has been to crazy golf course where everything is worn, old and outdated. Pirate Bay is a perfect example of what crazy gold should be which is fun and innovative. Would recommend for any age and wouldn't dismiss it as just for childrens parties as I doubt anyone wouldn't enjoy this course! http://www.piratebayadventuregolf.com/Prices-Opening-Times
I love swinging a few rounds at the range on occasion!…read more It's not to expensive around 60 balls for £4 and £1.50 for club rental. They have the standard box areas where people are separated by a partition, great for plugging in the ipod and venting some frustration! They also have some open pods which are really good for an open swing. I heard they have a crazy golf type thing for the kids at a reasonable £7. Now, being a female and enjoying a bit of golf sometimes you can get some funny treatment, a 'you shouldn't be here this is a mans sport *gruff' but the lads here are really friendly and are game for a laugh which makes me go back more. They didn't even laugh when i went to hit the ball and let go of my club...what gents. It's located in hambrook but if you drive past the MOD and keep heading out towards the motorway, round the roundabout and back on yourself-its not shy off the bristol business park/ibis hotel and UWE north.

There is good variation at each stage and the scenery you get whist playing is exquisite. They offer golf buggies for hire, a bar/restaurant, snooker, a gym and event bookings. (I attended a beautiful wedding held in a marquee at the resort; it was superb). There is also an innovative digital driving range, it's like a gigantic golf computer game; it allows you to record your golf swing and play it back. There are onsite golf pros who offer lessons in this facility. The bar has a rustic feel to it and you are able to, weather permitting, sit on a patio which outlooks the button golf course. The food is great, particularly the a tasty Sunday lunch. Weather you want to play golf or just fancy a game of snooker and a drink, Cottrell Park is the place to go! I have always found the staff respectful, polite and helpful.

There is a fine bar with terrace seating overlooking the 18th hole, with good food available all day. The other facilities are excellent: spacious locker rooms, a shop, a gym, and a Practice Range. Non-Members can book to play, and with two courses there are usually plenty of tee-times available. Club and Buggy Hire is available. All in all, one of the best golfing venues in South Wales.

It's set over three tiers on the East side of the Blaise ridge and has a couple of pretty challenging holes. The 7 (yes, seven) groundstaff keep the course in excellent condition which means that holes are frequently closed due to waterlogging etc.

But I think…read morethe biggest letdown is the Price, I stayed in one of the lodges,(lodge 6 to be exact) and it was over about £1,300 A NIGHT which is outrageous but I mean it is considered a 5 star resort however in the actual lodge it wasn't the best.:very small garden,dead flies on the bed,shower door was broken and filthy and even the power plug Exploded! However room service did come and help us replace it. But if it was a 5 star resort! Then it shouldn't have been broken in the first place! In the lodge and all around the hotel there are shuttles you can order (free of charge) to take you anywhere and I guess that is nice. Because it cost so much a night it won't really be possible to stay a long time which leads to the next problem. Because of all the other people staying there it is really difficult to get into activities because you have to book them a day in advance and the app is quite faulty and buggy to even get a chance to book it and because you can barely stay there long. I came into here expecting to experience the 5 star experience and that I would try do do every activity but the sheer lack of time that you stay there it is incredibly difficult to do 4 activities out of the tens of ones it has to offer! In the evenings you can go for a fancy meal but some of them are outrageously expensive! I came here on a family reunion and for our evening meal we went to a buffet called The Olive Tree. In the buffet section you have a wide variety of foods and if you want chips I would recommend you don't have them unless you want your mouth to be filled with potato that is basically uncooked! They were flopping about and so delicate they were all squished and broken in the actual tub. So as a conclusion I think I have enjoyed staying here but the other factors have brought it down it wasn't as unexpected for a 5 star resort.

The course was extended to 18 this year. Some tricky long holes (for a girl) and one nightmare par 3 (miss the green and you are doomed!). The accommodation in the motel style was also very good with a spacious room and good facilities, again with great views over the bay. The breaksfasts were hearty and included in the room rate which was good value but dinner in the restaurant was not something I would do again. The food itself was fine but some of the combinations were a little odd and not well thought out (boiled swede and salmon with pesto or risotto with boiled potatoes or chips!) If you want to get away from it all, this is definately a good place to do it but be warned, you are miles from anywhere and Newport Bay itself appears to close very early in the evenings so don't expect anything in the way of nightlife.

We were waiting for food for around an hour, the staff were miserable and the bar staff were even worse. -Eye rolling and kept disappearing from the bar... they were young and inexperienced. I gave them our birthday cake and paid extra for more food and drinks as I didn't want the toddlers who came to feel left out. Then the fire alarm went off. Manager was so un-interested that we had children who had left their coats and were stood outside freezing, hungry and crying. I only saw around 5 staff members stood outside telling people to call customer service for a refund. (More or less telling people to go home.) We left without singing happy birthday to my daughter, she was so upset and says she never wants to go back. I've emailed customer service to be told I would get a refund on our pre booked food but the money we spent on our card would need to be cleared. Ive sent proof of purchase and 1 week later still no refund. Also the money I paid In cash, I would need to go back into hollywood bowl (get PDSD) and they would give it back. Also they still have our cake if we want it. (What we going to do with a cake now?) And they said sorry. That's all we got was SORRY. That will never make up for anything that happened that day and for anyone else looking to take your child here to celebrate I would avoid it. I was apprehensive on booking it here in the first place as we booked airhop for her last birthday and we could not fault it at all. The memory of my daughters birthday at hollywood bowl and the treatment afterwards will never be forgotten, my daughter has told her class mates and friends at her gymnastics how much hollywood bowl made her sad on her birthday.

The house is now used for golf purposes and events - mainly weddings, of which they have a high number in the summer months. The weddings here are without fail a beautiful affair - the staff are highly meticulous and dedicated to ensuring everything runs smoothly and to the highest possible standards. The main house, which is where such events take place, is stunning, with high quality furnishings and well stocked bars. There's a number of rooms available in the outbuildings as well, so it doubles up as a hotel/high quality B&B. In a place like this, you'd expect to pay high prices, and that you do, but it's not unjustified as the experience here is something quite special. They do attempt to give leeway where possible - for example, the annual golf membership has a low sign up fee and then 'points' can be topped up for the time used on the course, rather than one large sum for the year which allows room for unfair payments. The hotel rooms range in standard and price from £130 to over £300 per night - which ever standard you choose, you can be sure everything will be perfect and finished to an immaculate standard.
