The hype
The decor is jaw-dropping and the food is incredible, but the 'spa' is tiny and the service can be hit-or-miss.
Cave Hotel & Golf Resort
$230-400/ nat
Bestil hvis You want a sexy, moody 'vibe' hotel where the dinner and drinks are the main event and the room is just for passing out in style.
Hvorfor folk elsker det
- The 'Firepit' and 'Korean Cowgirl' restaurants are genuine destinations
- Dark, atmospheric interiors that feel like a high-end nightclub
- Golf course views from private balconies
Hurtig oversigt: A visually stunning Instagram trap that prioritizes 'sexy' aesthetics over practical comfort—think thin walls and a spa that's basically a hallway.
Anmeldt af @LauraEllz: I checked into the Cave Hotel for a romantic escape and was blown away. The room is dark and sexy, the bed is huge, and having champagne waiting on the desk was the perfect touch. Definitely a vibe.

Reality check
It's not a relaxation retreat; it's a party hotel with a golf course attached.
- You love a 'dark mode' aesthetic (walnut paneling, dim lighting)
- You're here for a boozy dinner and a crash pad
- You want a cool backdrop for your socials
Renhed & Vedligeholdelse
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally excellent daily service, though some guests report missed dust on the high shelves.
- Bathroom hygiene: Spotless stone and tile, though the dark grout hides a lot.
- Maintenance: Some wear and tear visible in hallways (scuffed paint) due to high traffic.
- Linens & towels: High-quality, fluffy towels and crisp sheets.
- Odors & scents: Signature 'Cave' scent (woody/spicy) pumped into the lobby; rooms smell fresh.

Ofte stillede spørgsmål og skjulte tips
Alt hvad du gerne vil vide før du booker.
Is the pool worth it?
Barely. It's small, has no changing rooms, and feels more like a visual feature than a swimming spot.
Is it good for families?
Technically yes, but the vibe is very 'adults-only party'—dark corridors and loud music.
How much is the deposit?
They take a £150 pre-authorization on your card at check-in.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, for a £50 fee per stay, but only in specific rooms.
Is there a dress code?
Smart casual. The crowd dresses up for dinner at Firepit.
Is parking free?
Yes, plenty of free self-parking on site.
Insidertips
- ✨
The 'Cowgirl Lounge' is often quieter than the main bar if you want a drink without the crowd.
- ✨
Order the 'feasting platter' at Firepit—it's the best value item on the menu.
- ✨
If you're a light sleeper, ask for a fan from reception to drown out the building noise.
5 ting du bør vide før du tager af sted
💡The 'spa' is basically a glass box you walk past; everyone eating dinner can see you in your robe.
💡The lighting is so dim you might need your phone torch to find things in your suitcase.
💡There are no toilets in the pool area—you have to go back to your room or the lobby.
💡The 'golf resort' part feels separate; the hotel is very much its own enclosed bubble.
💡Room service adds a hefty tray charge, and the menu is limited compared to the restaurants.
