Disaster turned to pleasure by one man!

Initially on arrival there was a board stating food options were limited due to an internal problem. We were disappointed because we were there for a special birthday. We went inside to register and saw another sign saying the wi-fi was down. Being very disappointed as we were expecting an email from abroad regarding this birthday and we were undecided whether to stay or not. Nick, who we presumed to be the duty manager, was very apologetic and explained the problems in more detail. He convinced us to stay and offered us an upgraded room and bought our first round of drinks for us. The afternoon and evening went very well and the food we had was excellent. The upgraded room was large and airy and we were able to park literally outside the room (cabin). Being partially disabled this was a great bonus. Thanks to Nick's professionalism he certainly turned a possible disaster into a pleasurable experience and we thank him. We've stayed at the Wayford before but this experience surpassed that by miles.

Large car park. There is a small table in the reception area with a bell to call for service, which we did. After several minutes a young lady came running into the area and told us to follow her, to check in. We were lead to the main bar area, however there was no record of our booking, which was a concern to say the least. I was asked what type of room we’d booked, when we booked it. I showed my confirmation number, eventually we were given a room. After conferring with a senior member of staff,It transpired that there had been a change in ownership in April time, so my booking was on ‘the old system’. The issue was resolved quickly, which was good, but still caused some angst. We were told there were issues with the WiFi… the signal and reception were non existent. The room was clean, but basic. The bathroom door stuck and would not shut. There was no hairdryer. I did manage to get a hairdryer in the end. I reported the door, it did not really bother us that much, but if it was pushed shut, it was impossibly to open. The food in the restaurant was ok. I had fish and chips, the fish had been put on top of the chips, making then soggy. The most disappointing thing was getting back to the hotel bar at about 22:40, after the wedding we had been to, seeing 3 people sitting there with virtually full pints, and being refused service. Even as residents. Overall it’s an ok place, the outside area is a bit scruffy. Seem to be quite short of staff.

Last minute booking. We were greeted by friendly helpful staff . The room was nice, it was clean and had everything we needed. We dine, or have breakfast but from what we could see it looked good. Would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend to others.
