Not what it said on the tin

Good hotel but unfortunately there is a lot of work being do it, the staff are very friendly and hard working the let down is the pool is not in use as they are working on it, not the hotels fault but Hotels.com could have been more informative it was only when I read a review about the pool then went back their website there is a line through pool but it is very faint apart that the food was good and will back when the work is done.

Not as advertised

We recently booked a night at Stonecross Manor as part of our ten year anniversary celebrations planning to enjoy the spa facilities. Unfortunately, upon arrival, we were informed that the pool and spa were unavailable due to renovations. At the time of booking we were not informed that this would be the case and Hotels.com did not highlight that any renovations were taking place. Our room was spacious and we enjoyed how the hotel is supporting local businesses through the handmade toiletries. However, the walls were covered in marks, the carpet was dotted with coffee stains and most disappointing of all was the fact that we discovered in the morning that the window frame and net curtain were absolutely covered in black mould. After an evening out, we arrived back at the hotel to find that the outer door was firmly closed and we could not alert any night staff via the intercom or by ringing the hotel. We were left wondering what to do for around twenty minutes before completing a circuit of the building in complete darkness and discovering the outside door of the kitchen. Luckily a member of staff was in there at the time and we finally gained access to the hotel. Staff were sympathetic during checkout but no offer of discount or compensation was made. Given the rather hefty price tag of a single night and the lack of amenities, together with the distinct lack of cleanliness of the room, we cannot recommend this hotel and will not be returning.

Very nice

Lovely stay, lovely staff. A shame about the renovation work but i guess it has to be done. Room was nice but the duvet seemed to be too small for bed. Evening meal and breakfast were of exceptional quality.

Misleading advertisement

Very very disappointed that the pool facilities weren’t available due to refurb - they didn’t offer a refund or anything to compensate- at the end of the day the pool facilities were part of the reasoning behind this booking to get away and relax - very disappointed

Not going to stay again.

Very disappointing. Booked twin room as I was travelling with my 15 year old son. On line room looked spacious enough for us to have some privacy. On arrival, after driving for 5 hours, checked in. Went to room. Double bed. My son was horrified, not wanting to sleep with his 60yr old mother. Returned to front desk, was told that I had made the mistake when I booked. I had the booking on phone confirming the twin. I asked if there was a twin available. Was told there wasn't, but that my son and I could top to toe in the double bed!Neither of us slept well. In the morning I spoke to another member of staff regarding the room. Was told nothing could be done and that I would have to sort it out with booking agent, as it had nothing to do with the hotel. Attitude of staff member was short and dismissive. We left without eating breakfast.

A very nice place

Very friendly staff and the hotel had a pool and sauna. The pool was being used at the time we were there as a training venue for children and we just used the sauna and jacuzzi. The room was very clean with lovely fresh towels with tea coffee making equipment. We never had anything to eat in the hotel but had a quiet drink in the lounge at the end of the evening, overall a nice hotel

Lovely little hotel definitely recommend

From the moment we checked in we were made welcome. Very friendly staff, nice spa area, included in the price. Yes there were children in the pool having private lessons but it was fine with us. The evening meal was a litle expensive but worth the money. Love that there was a good variety of choice for breakfast and thst you could tailor it to your taste. Lovely relaxing couples break
