Not dog friendly at all

Why does this place claim to be dog friendly. By bringing our 8 year old labradoodle, we were told be cannot take the dog to eat breakfast with the other guests. We have to eat outside or use room service. We were excluded from the bar and other facilities too. We also were charged an extra non-refundable £50 cleaning charge for our hypoallergenic dog on a dry day. She never shed a hair, barked or made a mark while we were there. Please make the £50 refundable following a morning inspection by the cleaner. The room had several faults including a tear in the carpet. This place is only interested in wedding guests willing to pay extra for a special night.

No provisions in room to cool it down which meant the room was 29.5 degrees. Our daughter cut her finger in a broken sink, told reception on check out, there was no concern. We spent 30 minutes waiting for food at breakfast due to there being no food , we asked for a highchair 3 times before being privided and when it was it was covered in toast crumbs and dirty. We werent offered tea or coffe. On a positive the bed was comfortable.

Booked a Executive room , the room was advertised as 160 square foot. I compared the sizes of the room before booking and chose to book the large room, couldn't get around the bed, it was that small there was only one bed size table because of the lack of room.

Belton Room

The Belton room needs a complete re furb in my opionion. I have stayed in the hotel before but in the newer block not the 'traditional' rooms. Although bedding was very clean and comfy, the following let it down. Cobwebs behind the bathroom door, cracked sink with no plug, broken kettle lid, the window paint was cracked and very discolored and needed cleaning, and re painting, old fashoned 'swag' type heavy drapes, view looked out onto a aircon unit and a channel between the roof i would stay here again as the restaurant, newer rooms and overall welcome you get in the hotel is good, but i would specifically ask not to be placed in a 'traditional room' until they have been refurbed.

The staff were very kind and efficient. We were able to check in earlier than was stated. The room was spotless and clean and the hotel itself was well placed with easy parking. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Wildes Inn.

We were disappointed with the little things about the room. Only 1 large towel between two of us, no hand wash in bathroom, one set of small shower gel, shampoo and conditioner, sofa in room very uncomfortable and requires replacing. Food was average and very salty

Room for improvement

Initially i thought the room was very nice but it was a very hot day and the temperature in my room was 27 degrees. I assumed that there would be aircon but no, apparently only heating ! I asked for a fan which was provided but my room was still over 25 all night with the fan on full therefore although the bed was comfy i got very little sleep. The room lacks a lot of the basics like nowhere to put soap etc in shower, no shower cap, no toilet brush, no toothbrush holder, no paperwork at all in the information folder, no coasters for cups. I also found someones used eyelashes on my clean bath towel and dirty marks on my bedroom stool. I am surprised to find this poor standard from a hotel that is promoting itself as a 4 star hotel and is justifying charging the extortionate drinks prices under that label.
