Mount Murray Hotel & Country Club, Santon

Advantages: Great hotels, and facilities
Disadvantages: EXPENSIVE!!!

...After another argument with the little lady I was feeling stressed and in need of some TLC. "Right that’s it" I shouted, "We are going away for a night". To which she replied "where?” She had a point, i am only 21, I can’t drive and i am not rich in any way shape or form. Despite this I really needed a break from reality. The Christmas bonus had just been deposited into my bank account so I thought of the closest 4 star I could think of.

What’s more, the facilities offered along with the par 72 Championship golf course are truly fantastic, and are about to improve even more with the opening of a brand new 4 star hotel in August 2004 to compliment the existing hotel, club house, and leisure facility. But more on this later. First let’s concentrate on what makes Mount Wolseley so special as far as the mad cabbie is concerned; the truly magnificent golf links. ~ ~ Mount Wolesley is a relatively new golf course (early 1990’s) but is built on a very old country estate that was owned for generations by the Wolesley family, who made their family fortune...
