Yes, obviously there are already resorts in the UK and Ireland. Are more needed?
And I was at Gleneagles this week, although I did not stay at the resort. Same for Rosepenna last year. The golf was excellent but I didn’t need all the resort special handling. And yes, I’m well aware I didn’t have to go at all. It’s a choice.
On a sidenote, and not sarcastically, I had a brief and friendly conversation with one of the staff at Gleneagles. In respose to his question, I agreed the electric carts were well staged in front of the main building. I complemented him, said the line of carts was quite straight, and that he would’ve made it in America. Lol.
But more seriously, not all resorts are bad. I visited Nova Scotia 2 years ago and thought Cabot Cape Breton made perfect sense. There is a paucity of lodging in that area.
