I had a mixed experience at Formby Hall Golf Resort & Spa. While the dining options, especially the food at the Fairway Grill, were really good, the overall stay fell short due to cleanliness issues and the management's lack of responsiveness to complaints. The spa treatments were decent, but the chaotic atmosphere made it less relaxing than I hoped.
Rooms

I originally booked an upgraded loft standard room, but it was unclean and had maintenance issues. I settled for an executive room that was spacious but still had stability problems with the mini bar fridge and an overheating hair dryer. The cleanliness needed improvement despite the spaciousness of the rooms.

The front desk staff seemed overwhelmed during my visit, and while a few were attentive, I found it frustrating trying to resolve issues after my stay. My feedback felt largely ignored, and the responses lacked sincerity.

The spa area had potential and offered good treatments, but it seemed overcrowded, which detracted from the relaxation factor. The leisure facilities were decent, but I felt more could be done to manage guest flow.

The spa had great treatment quality, but the overall facilities were somewhat basic and crowded during peak times. I was looking for a tranquil spa experience, which I didn't quite get due to the influx of guests.
