I had a wonderful time at Formby Hall, especially enjoying the spa treatments and the beautiful views of the golf course. The food quality varied, with some meals being quite disappointing, but I appreciated the effort from the staff to make my experience enjoyable. The rooms were spacious and well-appointed, though the noise levels could be a concern at night. Overall, a lovely place for a relaxing getaway with friends and family.
