Good, large property with plenty parking and in a quiet neighborhood. Dining options are few and there’s no shopping onsite, but you can drive to different areas easily. Rooms are modern and well built.

World Class Experience I stayed at The Houghton during an epic, solo birthday trip that took me to Paris, Cartagena, Cape Town, and Johannesburg. The Houghton was by far, without question, THE BEST place I stayed during my trip. Wonderful & attentive staff, great food, top tier cleanliness, a heated indoor pool, and more. I cannot complain. I look forward to returning again and again!

Hotel and staff are 5 star but pools were not clean enough to use it, sauna was not usable (very low temperature) no changing room there and nowhere near 5 star level. Indoor pool also was dirty. That is a shame considering that the rest of the hotel is good and everybody very friendly and helpful.

Transport booked from airport was 75mins late. Pre arranged late check out for £130 had been cancelled by the hotel. Booking for their golf course shambolic and I discovered that guests basically can’t play on the course. Too shambolic to be an ******* hotel
