All I wanted was to sleep 😴

Such a lovely hotel but I had a night call out and phoned ahead to say I wouldn’t arrive until 4am- I got to the hotel and they’d cancelled my room despite already paying in full it then took 20 minutes to free up a room and get a key by this time I was falling asleep on the desk, there was any real apology for the delay. I also put a do not disturb on the door and despite that housekeeping still knocked on my room door at 9am, not a great experience!!!

The location was good for us, travelling to Silverstone on the Saturday and only 1 hours drive to Silverstone the following morning. Upon arrival we had a snack & drinks in the Zest bar, something to keep us going until we ate in the Fairway restaurant. Our food order seemed to have been forgotten, so needed to remind them. We had cheesy chips which was solid, needing a knife to cut through it Meanwhile, sadly, a lady also in the Zest bar became ill which was not dealt with very well. There was no screen put around her to respect her decency and give her privacy. Plus there was loads of people around her drawing attention to this area. Friends/family were running around getting things and at one point there were 7 members of hotel staff gathering around. The meal at the restaurant was no better. I sent my meal back as it was nothing like described on the menu and completely laced with garlic, it was inedible. We asked for a continental breakfast to take with us the next morning which was poor. A croissant, a pastry, 2 small muffins, and a banana each. The breakfast this morning was brilliant, lots of choice and lovely sausages! This hotel is more like a 3 star. the rooms are old-fashioned, we had no fridge, no water was supplied, no air conditioning, and there was mould in the bathroom. The advertised "tranquil spa" is open to the public, so not tranquil at all.

Only comments are how hot our room was and breakfast waiting staff appear to have little serving training. There was a small fan in the room but could do with something more cooling or larger fan. Great facilities and although we didn't eat lunch/dinner, the food looked amazing. Waiting staff lent over us eating to clear plates of our party on a couple, of occasions, also took the fruit as I was picking & barged past us at the servery a few times. However, this experience wont put us off going there again and we will definitely stay there again

Even though the property is a little vintage it’s still charming and well kept, the spa area is adequate and clean, the rooms are cosy, the buffet dinner was good, the breakfast excellent. All the staff are brilliant, polite and courteous. I enjoyed my stay very much and would likely return.
