Outstanding Breakfast Experience

I was truly impressed with the breakfast service at Selborne. Fresh fruit salads, pastries, and personalized egg orders were all served with a smile. The waitrons were exceptionally attentive and made sure everything I asked for was provided promptly. It set a lovely tone for the day ahead!

Relaxing Spa Visit

I visited the spa for a massage and it was wonderful. The staff welcomed me with great warmth, and the entire environment was calming and peaceful. After a long day of activities, the massage I received was truly rejuvenating. It was such a treat to unwind in such a tranquil setting.

Cozy Garden Room

My stay in the Garden Room was fantastic. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a lovely view of the meticulously maintained grounds. I especially appreciated the provided gowns and slippers, which made visits to the spa easy and relaxing.

Fantastic Golf Course

The golf course was beyond impressive - a true highlight of my stay. Even though I am not an avid golfer, I enjoyed walking around the beautiful grounds. The scenery was stunning, with lots of wildlife to spot along the trails. It truly felt like an escape into nature!

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with my fellow retirees, enjoying the scenic views and well-kept golf course. The rooms were clean, but the bathrooms could use a more thorough cleaning. The outdoor seating and pool area were lively, but I was disappointed with the quality of food and the undertrained staff at breakfast, which detracted from the overall experience.

I had a fantastic stay at this beautiful resort, where the view from the room overlooking the fairways and stunning garden was breathtaking. The breakfast was delightful, and the chance to spot some shy monkeys added a special touch. Dinner at the clubhouse came highly recommended. However, some minor room issues need addressing. Overall, I'm definitely going to return for another relaxing getaway soon!
