We stayed here for one night on our way to Minehead and it was one of the most disappointing hotel stays we’ve had.
We booked this hotel specifically because it advertised air-conditioned rooms. On arrival, we were greeted by a sign saying the hotel was under refurbishment and there was no air conditioning. This was never mentioned when we booked. In 28°C weather, the room was unbearably hot and the fan provided did very little. The smell of fresh paint throughout the hotel also gave me a headache.
The shower was dreadful. The water pressure was so poor I couldn’t rinse the shampoo from my hair, and turning the temperature down reduced the flow to a trickle. Reception offered us the shower in the room next door, but this wasn’t practical. My husband has mobility issues and the alternative shower was over a bath, making it unsuitable for him.
To make matters worse, when we pulled out the sofa bed for our daughter, there were no pillows in the room. We had to borrow them from the neighbouring room ourselves.
The staff were polite, but this doesn’t make up for a hotel that wasn’t as advertised. No air conditioning, refurbishment with no warning, an almost unusable shower and an unprepared family room made for a very poor experience. I would not stay here again or recommend it.
