Bonkle House

Noting nearby of any note.

Have stayed here before and it is far better than it looks! Room is absoluely fine - clean, warm and comfortable. Reception does not feel user friendly, but it serves the purpose

Lovely house in a great location. Rooms were large, comfortable beds. The staff were very welcoming and even folded our clothes for us in room service. Could do with a little paint here or there but overall a great stay

Room was clean enough. Staff extremely unwelcoming. Demanded to see my id before allowing me to check in. Never had that with an hotel before. Not sure who they thought i was….. after a 6 hour drive you just cba with that. Around 10pm horrible food smell came into room. Will never stay again.

Staff know where to be seen no hairdryer in the room

Our usual overnight stop was not available and this was he nearest alternative with a reasonable rating. However, I did not read the reviews till just before we travelled and was a little concerned at what we might find. Other than the unusual check-in, everything was fine and the room was clean, spacious and comfortable. We had been asked to contact the property 24 hours in advance but, despite trying, this proved impossible

Host friendly and welcome Everyday checking if I need anything Everyday had housekeeper Clean and Tidy

I checked in with my daughter for an intended 6-night stay. We were given a room on the ground floor and there were no curtains which we thought was odd. There was a strong smell of damp and we instantly noticed how dirty the room was. Dust everywhere, rips in the sheets, stains in the toilet, old furniture. We didn’t have any confidence that the sheets were changed between guests. The whole place just felt very run down and neglected. We decided we were just going to stay 1 night and move on but my daughter suddenly said that someone was looking through the window - the bottom half of the windows were frosted and a man was pressing his face up against the glass to see inside which understandably really upset my daughter. I repeatedly asked a member of staff who was in their gardens peering in but the guy just played dumb. We called a taxi and checked out immediately - we tried to get our money back but have been told it’s not possible. Please please read other reviews and don’t book this dreadful place!

It no to bad for Weekend Very quiet..service no the best But..ok Thanks for Stay

Shower didn’t work at all. Bathroom hot water took ages to warm up. Windows need sealing as they howled every time the wind picked up. On a more positive note the beds were comfortable. I’d guess at the images of the hotel would be about 10 years old.

Staff banging around at midnight, shouting, music, doors slamming, people having sex, no soundproofing, no heating, warm water not hot, dirty towels, wasp nest in the wall, people smoking outside the window, it was horrendous

If you need somewhere cheap and comfortable, this is the hotel for you. There are zero luxuries, and it is outdated. The room was very spacious however, the bedding had holes in it. The place was clean. The TV works, but it is very slow in recognising channel changes or the TV guide coming up. Lack of HD channels. The receptionist needs to work on their mannerisms and explain the situation clearly. I had to hunt for the WIFI password as no one is available after you check in. There is a lovely garden however, no one told me how to access it or use it. During the warm days it would have been ideal to eat or work from, but again zero information provided. I was there for three days and found the place good to stay however, the WIFI is unstable.

We arrived early and got lost along the way because the photos posted online were pure misleading. The whole place outside is unkempt, looked liked a haunted house the door was closed, we knocked endlessly but there was no response. After about 10mins of knocking, calling ( which were unanswered) a young lady opened the door, handed me the keys with few instructions and disappeared. The room was cold and I called the numbers that were displayed at the reception but they gave us some shady excuse as to why we couldn’t get heating . There was a jar in the room with ashes in it. I couldn’t sleep. I woke up at 3am and I could have sworn there was a dark figure standing on the edge of our bed watching us😂😂. I turned on the lights and stayed up until we checked out very fast in the morning. Overall that house is haunted. Creaking everywhere and flickering lights. Worst stay of our entire trip and I would not recommend anyone to stay there.

found needle under my bed

It was disguting blood stains on my bed on arrival, poo down the toilet and hadnt even changed bin bag had someones dorty toothbrush in there. then when told the man he rolled his eyes at me like it was my fault. The noise was horrendous with doors banging all night shook us up bad no sleep quality atall for 2 nights.

Comfy bed, quiet night - great sleep

Nice property and room met all my needs. Quite happy with the room and the service. Everything was very straightforward.

Second time I've stayed here and loved it just as much this time as last. There was some sort of annoying alarm/noise going off quite late at night which stopped just as I was away to call for help. Other than that it was another lovely stay!

Once a grand house but clearly now a bit bedraggled and tatty. The photographer who took the pictures for Bonkle house did an amazing job, or they are from many years ago. It really needs a proper redecoration.

Out of a 2 night stay, the 1st night Fri eve was awful due to Front and inner door banging continous by people coming and going from 8pm until 12.45am also loud talking, no respect for others at the hotel. Spoke to receptionest to report and Sat night was peaceful. My room was clean, shower great, big room, comfortable bed Dated decor, but this didn't bother me. Nice garden. I would suggest soft closing entrance doors plus big notice requesting quiteness for other hotel users on the evening. There is a local shop walking distance to grab milk and teabags/coffee etc. My room had kettle plus cups which I appreciate plus hairdryer & t.v. I took photos as to how I left the room, as you put the key on reception desk on leaving. Anyone could enter the room on your departure and do whatever.
