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

5.0

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.
