บูด็อก เวน โฮเทล

A sad return to this special hotel. The grounds were beautiful and beautifully maintained. The rooms and bathrooms were tired, and need modernising. On checking in, we were told that most of the facilities that had influenced our booking were out of order. We were also told that the only lift was out of order - not a problem for us, but most of the clientele were at least 70 years old, so quite challenging for them. Dinner was good, and the service was good. Breakfast was a different matter. One coffee machine with a touch screen which most of the (elderly) guests seemed to look at as if it were just a TV screen. Eventually got our coffees and returned to our table. Placed our breakfast order. After 30 minutes it had still not arrived. Server said it was “on its way”. After 45 minutes another apologetic server said that the tickets had been lost. Breakfast eventually arrived after 50 minutes and was good. Overall it needs a complete refresh of the rooms, carpeting and decorating of the corridors. On my last visit I would have described the hotel as great, now only average.

Extensive grounds

Lovely hotel with great walks around. The tea tray was dirty as was some areas of the bathroom in the room. Other than that the hotel itself was beautiful and the gold grounds were so pretty. I wasn’t feeling great on my first night and the room was brilliant for cwtching in and a hot bath seemed to sort it. I travelled alone and found it pleasant and catered for every type of traveller.

Everything was perfect, the service was great, the food was great, the environment was super

Lovely trip away. The hotel was great. Rooms were clean and well maintained. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Great location, friendly staff, good facilities

Beautiful location set amongst the greens of a golf course and access down to the sea. Welcoming. Lovely room with quality products (apart from the hair dryer). We enjoyed use of the spa facilities. Great value stay. An older building but it’s been modernised well in most areas.

Beautiful rooms, clean and comfortable. Reception, the cleaning staff and restaurant staff were so friendly and helpful. The spa treatments were amazing!! Special shout out to poppy and karen who are brilliant at what they do! I could have stayed all day in the tranquil space they created.

Lovely room in a beautiful hotel with great facilities and a delicious breakfast. Thank you, I will be back!

The lady on reception called Wendy is just so wonderful, she spoilt our dogs! She was so kind and her service brilliant. We stayed with our dogs. It’s a £20 surcharge per night for dogs. Grounds are lovely. Lovely walk to the river from the hotel. Breakfast was great. Two pubs nearby to eat at, the red lion (great old pub food) or the waterfront Inn by the river which has gorgeous views. You need to park up the road and walk down. The bedrooms and bathroom are a bit dated , but the restaurant and bar area modern. Grounds are beautiful. Staff lovely ! Indoor pool and outdoor hot tub. Dogs loved it !

Beautiful grounds

Relaxing two night break including breakfast and room service. Quality of food was excellent. Service was also excellent. The room was a very good size with a bath and separate toilet. The hotel is dog friendly and there is a great walk through the gardens, golf course and onwards to the South West coast path.

Overall all the stay was fantastic. The only negative thing to point out was the extremely small table that accompanied the chairs in the bedroom where the chair cercumfrance size was larger than the actual table. The table was more suited for a single lamp and not for two people to share coffee and a room service tray. I just seemed misplaced when the room has space capacity for a larger table. Other than that I couldn’t fault it. Breakfast and evening meals were exquisite

Great little find. I booked the suit even though there was very little information about it and only a singular photo. It was amazing, comfortable and across 3 rooms. It had a small kitchenette including fridge. The grounds are lovely and they are super dog friendly.

Unique hotel out in the countryside. All amenities 1 could ask 4

beautiful hotel, stunning location great staff Car charging is poor out of date Food starts at 7 and 730pm should be from 6pm for the tired traveller breakfast could start at 730am for the business type wanting to get up and go

The hotel is well resourced and has decent facilities and dining options, the rooms were modern and well presented. We did have an issue with the TV and shower draining very slowly (which we reported) but otherwise we were very happy with our stay. The reason for not giving them a 4 star and not a 5 star is that the corridors were very dated and could do with a refreshed look. I also think they could have a communal TV in the lounge area. The staff were helpful throughout so full marks there :)

Lovely

From arriving at the hotel to leaving all staff members we met or passed were happy and friendly. Highlight of our stay was the lovely room overlooking the golf course and not forgetting the most luxurious bed! Both receptionist on check in and check out were super friendly and interested as to how our stay and break was. Also need to mention Ryan who was on the bar on Saturday night what a lovely young man. My husband enjoyed two golf sessions over the weekend with our son which they both thoroughly enjoyed it was a wonderful stay in a beautiful hotel and yes, we will definitely be back. We didn’t get to use the spa facilities as we were visiting friends in the area. But on our list for next time.

A beautiful getaway in serene surroundings in a lovely traditional hotel. There is lots to do on a longer stay but we enjoyed our one night break.
