Reviews
"The meeting went really well thanks. The room was excellent, just the right size for us and amazing view. It was also really nice to have water, pad and pencils etc.
All the staff were so nice and so helpful throughout our stay. We all commented on this and also all commented how nice the breakfast was. We will be back! Thanks again for your help."
"I can't praise all the staff involved in this event enough, as always the staff at the Old Course Hotel made the evening an incredible success. David who helped us with the technical aspects of the evening, even with the new presentation itself which had videos to be embedded was tremendous and nothing was too much for him. Thank you to him for being brilliant.
Alan, as ever was wonderful pre-event, to ensure the smooth running of the evening and introduced us to our event manager for the evening, Lindsey. Lindsey and her team delivered exceptional service and were wonderful with our guests and any requests we had.
And finally Holly, who with all the last minute changes, adapted to them and delivered to our needs. Nothing was a hassle for Holly, and always done with a friendly smile and attitude. Holly held the whole event together, and ensured it was a fantastic success. We have over 90% positive feedback from our students too. So thank you to Holly and all of the Old Course Hotel team for making this a truly brilliant event. We will definitely be back next year. My only tip would be, to have a screen big enough to show any presentations, as people at the back of the room couldn't really see it."
