Book Grain hotels

I was a little disappointed on a couple of things, first being when I went to my room it was on the sale level as the electric car charging stations, with car owners sat staring in to my room, so I had to pull down the blackout blind for privacy, but I didn't want to I wanted day light, and the lighting in the room was poor, do dull for me. The second thing in the room that I wasn't overly happy with, is that I went to make a cup of tea and the tea spoon in the cup looked like it wasn't that clean, it actually looked like it had been in and out of someone's mouth, so no cup of tea for me. Final disappointment was the breakfast, typical cheap and nasty cooked produce, and sadly a warm buffet like so many hotels choose to provide, which resulted in my entire cooked breakfast being thrown in the bin, and a bowl of Frostys made do, not want I wanted and at £12.50 and expensive bowl of cereal, what's strange is the evening food was absolutely fine, and I wouldn't criticise anything that I had, on fact I really enjoyed it, so it shows they can produce food to a reasonable standard, so why not for breakfast, the most important meal of the day!!

Henry the manager was welcoming, friendly & very attentive, making sure I had everything I needed. I had a clean & comfortable room with a kettle, free tea & coffee, a marvellous little fridge that kept beer & milk beautifully chilled, and also freeview TV. My room was near the front door of the lodge, one of 4 rooms in the same corridor. There were two seperate shared bathrooms with shower & toilet facilities that were cleaned every day, so more than sufficient for the total number of guests. The communal dining room had a microwave, fridge & kettle, and crockery plus cutlery were provided and washed up by Henry. Behind the dining room was attached a conservatory & children's play room, plus an outside seating & eating area. So my 3 night stay at Church Lodge, Grain came to just under £100 for the room with sone self catering facilities. There's no cooker provided, however the microwave was ample for my cooked food requurenents. There are two very nearby supermarkets within easy walking distsnce, including a Co-Op with long opening hrs, a pub serving food, and a fish & chip shop also serving kebabs. Lower Stoke village is a 5 mike drive from Grain and has 2 pubs, a Chinese takeaway and an Indian takeaway, plus another busy fish & chip shop also serving pizza & kebabs. Great place to visit for peace & quiet, no crowds of tourists and a welcome decent nights sleep! Excellent value & amenities- can't go wrong! Steve T 😎

The receptionist lady was very helpful and her professionalism was good. The room was clean and modern

Did not have breakfast. But plenty of easy parking

The room was equipped with everything we needed . The only thing is that could be improved were the pillows- very lumpy and I was not about to try and contact housekeeping at three in the morning. Also some grout in the bathroom floor needed repair. The food in the restaurant was good and the staff everywhere were delightful.

Everything is good. Thanks for staff
