This is a classy place but not all staff were helpful.

We were there for our Silver Wedding. We had a lovely suite with comfortable furniture and a great balcony. Very peaceful and romantic. Great golf at Linville GC, a Ross course with lovely views and small, undulating, dome-shaped greens.

The pool, over the road, has limited opening hours and no bar. The in-room fridge is empty and the bar is closed until evening.

The food was good but service was patchy. One breakfast, the cooked food arrived whilst we were still eating cereal. The restaurant accoustics are poor and we were often seated next to noisy, large parties. For our anniversary, I asked for a specific, quiet table. That was good. The coffee (in room or in restaurant) was awful, tasteless.

When I asked for flowers to celebrate our big day, I was given the number of a local florist. That's not what I expected in an expensive hotel. I expect them to make the call.
