On a girls weekend, we stayed in room 17, the family room. It was suuuper damp (bedding felt wet when we got into bed each night) and really dusty (for example a layer of thick dust on lampstands and the wicker tables they stood on), thick layer of dust under the bed. The carpet has large worn holes and the sofa and chairs are really quite grimy. On the positive- The bathroom was spotless, the towels great quality. The rest of the hotel was just fabulous. A great vibe, so welcoming and comfortable. The restaraunt serves fantastic meals, really excellent food. It was easy to choose eating in rather

My husband & I had our wedding here last month. After visiting multiple venues, we knew the second we walked through the doors of Links House that it was perfect. The food was incredible, the atmosphere homely and we felt like part of the family. Nothing was too much. Thank you to Jo, Sandy, Bella, Michael, Jess, Jason, little Herbie and everyone else who helped us with our day. Absolutely incredible!

We attended a wedding last week, all of the staff were fantastic, the food was wonderful as was the choice of wines. The gardens are beautiful and the hotel so wonderfully old fashioned, I imagined my grandparents coming to a hotel like this when they were young. Everything about it was just so welcoming, we wished we had booked to stay the night, next we certainly will. Many thanks Janine and Craig

Professional without pretentiousness. I stayed here for a corporate event over three days and could not fault it. The accommodation is basic but my room was spotlessly clean and well-maintained. The service, from breakfast to nightcap, was sublime. Everyone was so professional, warm and friendly. Nothing was ever a problem. The food was amazing, too.

We loved our stay at Links! We just got a puppy so were going to cancel and find something pet friendly but called up and they offered us a pet friendly room which was amazing. We had our own private cottage and our little pup had a ball on his first fur family holiday. We had dinner at the restaurant one evening and food was delicious and the service from Michael and the rest of the staff was fantastic! Would be lovely to come back in winter and enjoy the fire place.
