Bideford Vacation Packages

We cannot doubt that there was a lovely view from the back of the grounds overlooking the golf course. Unfortunately, it appears that the hotel itself is more of an afterthought to the golf amenities. Rooms are very dated and certainly in need of renovation. Bath robes not included in the room which proved tricky trying to get to the pool and back as you don’t want to put your clothes over a partially wet body that wants to just jump in the shower back in the room. Getting into the spa and gym requires a £1 coin to get through the turnstile. This isn’t something people usually carry. If night staff don’t know the answer to a question surely it’s better they say they don’t know than answer incorrectly. Food at breakfast was very substandard. No labels on the hot dishes so you have to open every pot to find out what is in each one. Basic things overlooked like apples that were on the turn/yellow brown and the coffee machine not having any milk in it for the start of day. These are all very basic things that that you would expect to be better in a 4 star. It is sad that you will need to book a very expensive five star hotel in order to just get the basics in the UK. Hence most of the time people go abroad because you get a higher standard of stay.

We were greeted with a handshake which is always a good start. Our hosts, Neil and Rosemarie were welcoming and eager to make sure our stay was a good one. Our room was spacious as was the bathroom and shower. We were pleased with the coffee machine and the fridge on the landing for the cold milk. The small touches are what makes this hotel a special one. The bar downstairs proved popular to watch the world cup and we appreciated the hospitality during the evening. Breakfast was cooked to order and taken on the deck. The swimming pool was excellent. Car parking is easy and plentiful. One small point is that we would have appreciated a fan in our room which was very hot. Given the extremely high temperatures we are all experiencing it might be something to consider for the future. Otherwise everything was absolutely fine and of a very high standard.

The hotel is very well located to the beach and restaurants. Also there is no additional charge for parking. The staff are friendly and helpful. Lastly the breakfast is lovely

Excellent, wonderful setting. Staff were very knowledgeable.

Room was clean and tidy with character. The heating wasn’t working but they left a portable heater which helped
