    van Maidenhead , GB  op  1 november 2009

    "Ok - shame about the food being so overpriced" (108605664)

    Close to Alton Towers, staff were friendly, clean, breakfast was excellent, good childs menu

    thought the food in main restaurant was over priced forced to have 'a la carte' - 'London prices' with a captivated audience - the cooking did not equate to the price paid - sorry to say!

    "They need to do a serious re furb on the rooms but overall friendly, sixty pound for B and B a little steep for what we got." (108508055)

    friendly staff and clean room. Easy to find hotel. Breakfast good.

    Rooms were shabby but clean. Evening meal was a disappointment ordered rare fillet and got smallest medium to well cooked with stone cold mushrooms and tomato. Complained and plate whisked away and later replaced with another tiny steak also over cooked and hot mushrooms and tomato. Gave up and ate these!

    Staff The actual main building - the Inn. Beautiful. The restaurant and service. Location to Alton Towers - v good

    Unfortunately the advert made it look like you stayed in the actual Inn - when we arrived we were disappointed to be shown to our rooms which were all situated 100 yards around the corner - in chalet type facilities which looked like a Butlins holiday camp. Not pleasant.

    Lovely rabbit in the grounds but thought his cage was a bit small. Could he please have a bigger one as it upset me a little.

    We used the Hot Tub but the water was not clean we were covered in dirt when we left the Tub.

    "Stayed here for 2 nights and throughly enjoyed it. Nice and welcoming staff, lovely location and our room was comfortable and spacious however you stay in a cabin rather than the hotel itself. Food is average, nice bar and restaurant setting. " (107565252)

    Friendly staff, nice location, easy to find, comfortable room, lots to do in the gardens for children, nice bar and restaurant area.

    Stayed in ugly cabin rather than in the hotel itself although once inside it is pleasant, hot water did not work when we turned on shower, breakfast was quite pricey and average.

    "A little over-priced in our opinion for the condition of the rooms in the grounds. " (107793698)

    Good setting/outdoor (children's) facilities/road access. Breakfast.

    I was kept waiting at check in by a lady who was working on a computer and didn't even acknowledge me when I arrived. It turned out she had been on Facebook at the time.

    Overall our overnight stay was comfortable but spoiled by a constant, strong bad odour which pervaded the room. We suspect a problem with plumbing. We arrived late and left early - so had no chance to have the problem rectified.

    Staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean, but basic. Food was nice and breakfast had a good selection of food.

    The weather was very cold and the chalet only had small heaters.The windows let in a lot of draught.

    Food quality was good as was the attention of the stafff, very helpful.

    The shower in the en-suite bathroom was useless. Very little pressure and the hot water was very tempramental

    "Enjoyable. Very pleasant staff who were helpfull without being 'in your face' or false. Again, the food was fantastic. Not far from alton towers, less than 15 mins. Rooms are small 'chalets' and self contained without adjoining rooms or walls." (107133608)

    Very pleasant staff, very polite. Good atmosphere. Fantastic food, couldn't recommend eating in the hotel enough. Very good selection on the menu, even for vegetarians and everything we had was done to a very high standard.

    No stand in shower, seemed to be a hot/cold water balance issue on the bath mixer tap.

    Lovely garden and childrens play area. nice veiws from property.Breakfast was good with a wide variety of fruit and cereal. cooked breakfast was nice.

    The rooms smelt damp on arrival and I felt they were not particularly clean.The shower in my mothers room couldnt be used properly as no shower curtain. We also felt that the food in the restaurant was overpriced for what it was and not particularly nice.

    "The management and staff have a duty of care to all those who use these facilities; I regret to say, that I feel this was not the case with this establishment. I/We felt that the cost of staying at this hotel was not reflected in the standards and facilities met. we as a group would like the express our disappointment in the standards experienced. Paying what we did should have afforded us a much better standard." (99948424)

    Food was of reasonably quality. Selection of beers and other drinks adequate. Staff were polite and cheerful. Bedroom was a good size and the decoration reasonably, the bed was comfortable.

    A hair dryer blew up whilst being used; it was reported to the management, who did not apologise for the stress and inconvenience caused and made no attempt to replace the faulty hair dryer. The electrical equipment was in poor condition ( I am a qualified electrical technician )and no sign of P.A.T. certificates. No instructions on using the television or DVD player. The bathroom was in very poor condition. Black mould, particularly on the shower screen and the underside of the shower control wall unit.

    Room very clean, very friendly dogs

    Staff very unfriendly and moaning amongst themselves in front of everyone. Food not "home cooked" nor local produce. Sausages obviously frozen and of cheap quality, chef's fishcake ditto, steaks very disappointing. Lack of flexibiity over breakfast items.

    It was warm and cosy, the staff were very pleasant. It was good to be able to park the car by the room.

    The accommodation was in need of refurbishment.It was fairly clean but there were a lot of dogs hairs still on the carpet.

    "Massively over priced to stay in a wooden prefab with doors hanging off wardrobes, drinks satchets out of date. Standard of food not reflected in the price. Again sweets bought for children at the bar were out of date and had to complain about. Could stay in a Marriott golf resort in a city centre for the same or less money but far superior quality of accomodation and food. Overall charging high prices but certainly not spending any of it on the upkeep of the hotel which looked tired and dated." (97541264)

    warm and comfortable. Being able to park right ooutside the room was a bonus. Also very quiet location

    The rooms are in the grounds of the hotel and the path was badly lit.
