Hotel great, restaurant not so!

The hotel room itself was lovely. The staff were great, let down by the restaurant on the 1st evening of my stay people were coming in after me, having 2 course and leaving while I was still waiting for one course. I complained so they offered me a free drink which, after 15 more mins didn’t arrive. I told them to forget it and went somewhere else for a meal. The girl on restaurant check in looked like she’d lost £50 and found £1! Credit where it’s due though, the breakfasts were great.

Claire

Disliked: Room comfort
The staff were friendly and helpful however could not be given a key upon arrival as machine out of order. Then when we finally checked in to our room, the TV did not work. The lady from reception tried everything to sort it but couldn’t. So we had to move rooms. Disappointed that a double bed literally means a standard double bed. Would have expected it to be 2 twins pushed together which most hotels do to give flexibility and the extra sleeping room compared to a double. Despite the lovely outside image and grounds I would say the rooms are on a par with the Premier Inn down the road except the bed is more comfortable at the Premier Inn.

Breach of privacy.

On Arrival i was issued with room 153. I was in the room 20 minutes when another couple entered my room uding a key card issued by the reception staff. I was about to take a shower after a long journey and fortunately i had not yet undressed. The couple were part of a birthday event being held at the hotel. I immediately informed the reception desk who issued this other couple another room. When i returned to my room i found that my door key had been disabled and i had to yet again return to the desk to jave then reissue me with a key card. On my leaving i was informed by the reception desk staff that the mix up occured due to paper work being completed on error. My issue is that it was the same member of staff who Issued both sets of keys for thecsamecrpom withkn 20 minutes and even acknowledge the ertor at the time. This was a serious breach of my privacy and as such i wont be returnibg to stifford hall or recommending it to anyone. In addution the hall is in a desparate need of redecoration and cleaning. Walls looked filthy tables in dining toom with oeeling lamimate. I will go back to premier inn.
