Reviews of Matfen Hall Hotel and Golf - Outstanding New Spa Opening September 15th

“I would give the rooms 4.5 if I could! Our room was wonderful, as was our daughters - our sons' room was pretty small for 2 people, with 2 twin beds. Their A/C didn't seem to be working properly, as their room was too hot.”
