The hype
Guests are obsessed with the 'insane' decor and comfy beds, but many feel the service doesn't quite match the high price tag.
Cave Hotel & Golf Resort
$240-400/ éjszaka
Foglaljon ezt, ha You want a sexy, dimly-lit romantic escape where the aesthetic is 'Bond villain lair meets luxury golf resort' and you care more about vibes than absolute silence.
Miért szeretik az emberek
- The moody, 'cave-like' interior design with American walnut paneling and stone walls
- Korean Cowgirl restaurant's massive BBQ platters and brisket
- The 'Firepit' restaurant's sharing plates and glass bridge entrance
Gyors áttekintés: A visually stunning, Instagram-ready hotel that nails the 'sexy' atmosphere but sometimes stumbles on service and soundproofing.
Értékelte @ahuxxin: I honestly didn't know what to expect from a 'cave' hotel, but I loved it. It feels so secluded and sexy. The pool is a total mood, and the cocktails at the bar were top-tier. If you need a romantic weekend where you don't leave the hotel, this is it.

Reality check
You're paying for the 'Cave' aesthetic and the vibe; if you look too closely at the details (dusty corners, chipped paint), the illusion flickers.
- You love a dark, moody aesthetic (think 'Hollister store for adults')
- You are a foodie looking for high-end BBQ and fusion sharing plates
- You want a romantic night away where the room feels like a sanctuary
Tisztaság és karbantartás
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally good, though some reports of 'missed spots' and dust in the dark corners.
- Bathroom hygiene: Stone/slate bathrooms are stylish but can hide grime; usually clean but check the grout.
- Maintenance: Some 'shabby' edges reported recently (chipped paint, worn carpets in high traffic areas).
- Linens & towels: High quality, plush, and generally spotless.
- Odors & scents: Signature scent is heavy and woody/spicy—part of the brand identity.

“I am a light sleeper and would appreciate a room on an upper floor, specifically facing the golf course and as far away from the kitchen extraction fans/plant room as possible.”
GYIK és rejtett tippek
Minden, amit tényleg tudni szeretnél a foglalás előtt.
Is the pool heated?
Yes, it's a heated indoor hydrotherapy pool, but it's small and more for relaxing than swimming laps.
Can I walk to anything nearby?
Not really. It's a drive-to destination. The village of Boughton-under-Blean is a 20-minute walk down a country lane.
Is it good for kids?
Technically yes, but the vibe is very adult-centric (dark lighting, cocktail bars). Kids might be bored.
Do I need to book dinner in advance?
Absolutely. Both Firepit and Korean Cowgirl are popular with locals and book up weeks in advance for weekends.
Is there a dress code?
Smart casual. Most guests dress up for dinner—think 'date night' attire.
Are there hidden fees?
No resort fees, but watch out for the service charge on F&B and the £250 fine if you smoke in the room.
Insider tippek
- ✨
The 'Deck' area allows cigars and has a great view of the golf course sunset.

The glass bridge connecting the Firepit restaurant is the prime photo spot.
