Some of spa was not working in pool only one sauna was working .we ask for fruit and egg benedict not available forBreakfast not good for price. Got to hotel hour early as was ask £20 for early check in. Room was clean and tidy for age of hotel.

Dirty room, shower had more timescale than a council estates kettle, appalling customer support, fire alarm blaring continuously all night, I was told to go to my room or leave if I didn't like it after complaining and now been refused a refund after this unfortunate event and disgusting attitude towards myself. I do not recommend this hotel in any way, I'd rather have slept in a bush full of thorns than stay at this hotel again.

Our stay at Fredrick’s Hotel and Spa was absolutely awful. The property is extremely old and smells unpleasant from the moment you walk in. The room reeked of damp feet and stale air, and everything felt neglected and unclean. The beds and pillows must be from the 1920s — thin, lumpy, and impossible to sleep on. The windows and blinds were covered in cobwebs and dead spiders, clearly untouched for ages. The doors looked damaged and patched up, and the room keys didn’t even have keychains. Cleanliness was shocking. The “fresh” towels had hair on them, and the toilet had years’ worth of scale — clearly they’ve never heard of descaler. The ventilation didn’t work, so the room was stiflingly hot at night, even with the window open. The mini bar was completely empty, and although there was a capsule coffee machine, no capsules were provided — not even one. Downstairs, the bar didn’t have a milk frother for coffee, which says a lot about the attention to detail here. The spa, which is supposed to be the highlight, was freezing cold. The door between the indoor and outdoor pools doesn’t close properly, so the whole area was drafty — both my husband and I caught a cold after using it. Only two out of four pool jets worked, the steam room has apparently been out of order for weeks, the lounge cushions were full of mould, and several showers were broken. This place needs a complete renovation and proper management. It’s falsely advertised as a luxury spa hotel.

Lovely hotel but a bit tired in need of updating

Staff were very accommodating and friendly.

Thought hotel and staff very good food was lovely no complaints

Staff are very friendly, allowed us to check in early which was really helpful. Room was a good size and bed was comfy. The reason for the 4 stars is the place is definitely in need of a little renovation. The spa facilities are tired and in need of repair. Overall a pleasant stay and good value.

Staff very nice and very helpful Room was a bit old and shabby Pool lovely

My stay was fine, nothing stand out awful. I would say that the hotel room was tired and tatty. Wallpaper peeling, stained carpet, dusty and the taps hadn’t been polished in a long time. I gave them a quick buff with a towel and all the watermarks came off. Hotels please train your staff not to say your room number out loud when checking people in. This is a safe guarding issue and an easy fit.

The person working the front desk was lovely And the entrance foyer lovely The rooms were a little more dated but still comfortable The tv signal wasn’t good but it was a wet and windy night too I didn’t use any of the further facilities so couldn’t comment on those A comfortable stay

The staff were friendly and personable.

It's a nice hotel. It's got character and the staff were helpful.

Booked this as the spa with indoor/outdoor pool looked fantastic - it wasn’t. Very disappointing - the spa closed at 8pm. The pool has odd glass doors inside the pool you have to push a switch to open, then the pool outside was ridiculously hot, like swimming in bath tub! Shower in changing room full of timescale. Fixtures and furnishings straight out of the 80’s, all needs upgrading. Steam room was off. First room I was offered smelt musty, changed room - hairs in the bath, bath dirty, room was tired and needed refurb. Miss matched lampshades, tired furniture. When I checked in, I thought the hotel was closed with hardly anyone staying. Restaurant not open, nowhere within walking distance to eat. Breakfast was the only good point.

The only issue was the fire alarm going off. It was a false alarm, but the staff worked quickly to resolve the matter with the attendance of the fire brigade

I would not recommend staying at this property unless you fancy staying in a real Fawlty Towers hotel. (That would have been better to be fair) Our room, President Suite, which advertises "seperate sitting area, seperate dining area" was actually a single chair and a coffee table. There was a cupboard "guest valet" nothing inside. The room was full of cobwebs. In the room was A/C however it did not work. In the bathroom there was a leaking tap we could hear dripping all night. Apparently there was no maintenance person because they didnt have one. Sticking out of the wall in the bath/shower were 2 metal rods which we believe were the bare workings of the dripping bath tap. Dangerous to say the least. The spa area some showers were not working. Some tiles fallen on the floor. Towels on the floor to stop slipping presumably where most places use mats. Steam room didnt smell the best. Sauna missing slats some rotten. The in pool glass doors seperating inside pool /outside pool didnt look like theyd been cleaned in a long time. The buttons for working the jacuzzi bubbles were not working. One was hanging off. Missing tiles leaving sharp edges. Outside the wooden pergola was in a state of disrepair. The patio area was a tripping hazard in places. Just near reception was a champagne bucket with towels around it in the middle of the floor catching water dripping from the ceiling. No warning sign. I could go on but ran out of space. One word to describe this hotel, Deplorable!

Very friendly and breakfast was wonderful!

The decor is outdated all around the hotel. I found the restaurant menu to be basic and over priced. Would benefit from air-conditioning.

Waited ages to check in and thats the main problem the lack of staff. 35 degrees and the pool is boiling hot, whats the point in that? Tired room with no AC. Breakfast was good

Its hard to review this hotel. I largely received great service, the team serving me for dinner were so helpful as was the support from the Spa team. (Monday breakfast was not good),the room had mostly everything I needed and the hotel had an outdoor pool. The problem was the outdoor pool was like a hot bath. it was warmer than the indoor bit. the excuse was that the sun had heated it and there was nothing to be done to cool it down. I managed to cool down by standing under the cold sprinkler in the garden. not something you want in 30 degress sunshine. the hotel and rooms are simply outdated. added to this, no fridge, the kettle didn't work, the bath tap dripped and the bath had yellow marks, nobody came to make my bed during my stay and the bath soap was empty and I had to go asking for more coffee etc. The food was not good. I'd argue that it was largely frozen. probaby a cost cutting exercise rather than chef ability. They don't serve lunch even though on Saturday I was told the chef would make me something on Sunday, they changed their mind when they found themselves short of staff. Most of us ended up ordering delivery food for dinner I now know why it was reasonably priced. It could be really good even with the outdated decor

It’s such a shame. This hotel has such potential, but really lets itself down. Very tired all over, could also do with a clean too. Dirty walls and flies in cabin area in the breakfast room. No air conditioning in the rooms and the restaurant never seems to be open. The outdoor pool area is good especially in this heat, but it’s dirty and water stained everywhere, plus the patio could do with a weed. The staff are strange. Most things are too much effort, like the broken air con, coffee pods and sun beds. Would we come again? I’m not sure. It’s a good price for a hotel with an outdoor pool, but doesn’t leave you wanting to come back
