“20 out of 10!”

Absolutely amazing! I don’t know where to start! Probably the best asset of this hotel is the staff! From Alice and Lara on reception , to Sarah and the other ladies in the restaurant, ( I couldn’t keep peering at name badges!), in the restaurant, and Rachael in the bar, ( to name but a few!), ever… Mehr

Absolutely amazing! I don’t know where to start! Probably the best asset of this hotel is the staff! From Alice and Lara on reception , to Sarah and the other ladies in the restaurant, ( I couldn’t keep peering at name badges!), in the restaurant, and Rachael in the bar, ( to name but a few!), every single person we met was friendly , chatty and open. It is great to see such customer service being prioritised, and we were genuinely made to feel at home by everybody! The room… we asked for a ground floor room with either twin beds or a super king, with a walk in shower, and we stayed in room 33 which ticked all those boxes. Nicely refurbished with immaculate bedding and furnishings. The only thing that may have slightly enhanced the room would be the addition of a fridge, and/or air con. Having said that, the room was provided with a fan, and our room was a comfortable temperature anyhow. The food…. Well, we were at a nearby venue playing scrabble , so we only managed breakfast here. Seriously the most choice I think that I’ve ever seen in a hotel, and I’ve done some travelling! The most amazing selection of fresh fruit every day, including pineapple, pears, bananas, apples, grapefruit , 3 types of melon, strawberries , blueberries and a couple of decent compotes and natural yoghurt bowls too. 3 or 4 different sorts of milk to cater for everyone, gluten free cereals, bread and hot menu items, fresh croissants, proper ham, 2 different cheeses and most delightful of all, smoked salmon and smoked mackerel too, and this was just the continental selection. Additionally there was a hot buffet with all the usual suspects, together with a table menu for more specialised meals, eg a smoked salmon and cream cheese omelette! The quality and presentation of all food was superb. To be honest, I only ate from the continental breakfast selection and it set me up for the day! My partner had the cooked breakfast and on the last day, ate what he declared to be the best omelette he’d ever eaten. Breakfast is £10 if booked the night before, or £17 if you decide on the day. For £10 it is an absolute bargain! After a hard day of playing Scrabble, it was lovely to go back to our little oasis of calm and quaff a nice glass of Shiraz in such beautiful and civilised surroundings, with bar staff like Rachael, who genuinely seemed pleased to see us! The 20% off first drinks voucher was a nice touch, but unfortunately I didn’t see it until the day we left!By the way, Rachael, Pete came 2nd and I came 4th, in our division, as you told us you wanted to know, but wouldn’t be in until Friday. We felt totally looked after and will be back as soon as we can! We were asked to fill in a questionnaire upon leaving, and we honestly could not find a fault with ANYTHING! Loved this hotel so much!

I stayed here on a half board basis, and we were given a set menu for starters, which was poor. I declined. the main course and desserts were self service, however were not much better. It did however have free WiFi in the rooms.

Nice enough stay. Staff are very good and friendly. The renovated room was nice and about what you would expect from a Delta hotel. Breakfast was just about acceptable. At breakfast, the scrambled eggs were grey and unappealing and sausages poor quality. The rest was OK. The bed was quite uncomfortable, and the king bed was 2 beds zipped together. This meant the middle of the bed had a hard ridge running through it and could feel the zip. In other hotels that do this, they put a topper over it. Water was also pretty bad. Pressure was very low, and water only got warm. As there was an event going on all weekend, the hotel communal areas were not as clean as I would expect. The gym was good, one of the better ones for a UK hotel gym I have been to.

“Rooms need checking before allowing visitors in”

We're able to check in early which is always a great start to a break. Our first room 207 appeared on first glance to be ok, however on closer inspection not so. The room safe was locked closed, no phone to call reception from. Walked to reception and staff member came to room, appears to be broken… Mehr

We're able to check in early which is always a great start to a break. Our first room 207 appeared on first glance to be ok, however on closer inspection not so. The room safe was locked closed, no phone to call reception from. Walked to reception and staff member came to room, appears to be broken could wait for maintenance to fix, decided to leave as it was. On looking round room further to try and heat up room discovered this was not working either. Looking further round room found security door lock broken, blood stain on wall, no bin to put tea bags in,bedside light not working. Went to reception again to report mainly the heater not working. After about an hour we were moved to room 011. This had working heater, safe, lights, bin, telephone. Such a shame that either cleaner or checker had not noticed all the issues with the first room. Went down to have dinner in restaurant only to find it was closed as a large group of apprentices were using it and as some under age it was closed to others for safeguarding issues. Totally understand this, however, at breakfast time the restaurant was open to everyone, so seemed a bit of a contradiction. Food in the bar was from same menu and though short of choice what we had was good. Hotel was chosen mainly for location to The Stables, if we were to come back may well find another place to stay.
