Lovely hotel - couldn't fault it. Room fab! Food excellent. Staff very polite and helpful. Wish I'd have discovered it sooner, and will definitely stay again when I'm in the area. Have recommended to colleagues! Very impressed.

Overall: First class  (108532166)

We were told we'd been upgraded to a superior room so perhaps it made our impression even better but we thought Prested Hall represented extremely good value for money. 2 days later we stayed in a Fullers Inn and although it was good it had none of the character of Prested Hall or the swimming pool and it was another £20 extra for the room. The breakfast was very good and the kippers were some of the tastiest I can remember.

Overall: Totally first rate.  (108332637)

Private situation with pleasant grounds. Good for functions. Building had character internally. Staff pleasant and generally endeavoured to be helpful.

Reception area long way from main entrance and often unstaffed. Room not ready on arrival at 4.30pm. Given a standard room when I had booked a superior one because staff had not taken note of requirement for twin room. Did not use swimming pool or health facilities but didn't see where they were either! Breakfast waiter on second morning seemed very absent-minded:had to request a cereal bowl as there were none left(he brought a single one)and remind him that we had ordered tea as it failed to materialise, although he brought toast!

Overall: Disappointed with small 'L-shaped' standard twin room as I had booked a superior twin. No housekeeping staff available to move us to superior room on day 2 in afternoon, although I was offered a bottle of wine if I ate at the hotel in the evening. (I didn't because the menu was quite limited). Hotel was not busy and service was inconsistent though staff attitudes were pleasant.  (107819087)

Why do we publish ratings from Active Hotels?

Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.

How do I add a rating?

Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.

All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.

How do you manage to collect so many ratings?

48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
