We booked what was meant to be a relaxing babymoon through Trivago, specifically choosing this hotel because it advertised a pool, entertainment, and a functioning restaurant. Less than 24 hours after booking, we received an email stating the pool was closed, there would be no entertainment, and the restaurant would only be serving breakfast during our stay – all due to the Boardmasters Festival (which we had no interest in and didn’t even know was taking place). This information was not disclosed at the time of booking. On arrival, we politely asked about the pool and were met with an incredibly rude and patronising response: “You can go to the beach” (despite bad weather), followed by “Do you have a shower in your room? Well, there you go!” and even a sarcastic “I’ll buy you a paddling pool for your room.” This was not only unprofessional, but insulting. The bar was only open between 3–7pm, leaving nothing to do. The room looked nothing like the photos – stains down the walls, outdated furnishings, and paper-thin walls meaning we heard everything from neighbouring rooms. Instead of the peaceful break we booked, the atmosphere was more like a youth hostel due to the hotel catering to festival-goers. This is not acceptable when you’re 8 months pregnant and in need of rest. To make matters worse, other guests told us they also felt misled. The customer service was ultimately the worst we have ever experienced and would caution anyone thinking of staying here!

The building itself was okay, if not very old fashioned. The pool area was nice but limited to 8 at a time so we had to wait a little while. The room had almost no plug sockets and no WiFi in the rooms which wasn't ideal when signal is poor. Staff were lovely and very helpful when the electricity went out when we got in. Beds were comfortable and overall not bad but limited in what it provides.

Mediocre at best

Staff were lovely and helpful. BUT….. black mould in the bathroom! Enough to trigger my asthma. Breakfast was cold every day and the coach holiday people were always seen to first! I requested some toast for my little one and never got it. The high chair was disgusting…… mould in the creases! We did not have lunch or dinner at the hotel for this reason. The pool was nice however!

I am so unhappy with my stay here, I feel I have wasted £100. We were down for the night for a wedding made to feel like kids given a wristband we were not allowed to take off or not allowed back in and we had to wear it to a wedding party. We had to leave out key with our belongings in the room which I did not feel comfortable with and other hotels do not do this. They told me by the way night staff wear body cams which them scared me to think what is going on here? The room was old tv was the size of my laptop and the bathroom full of black mold on top the shower which I have a picture of. There was a group outside the entrance right under our window around 2am chatting and laughing which was so so loud we barley slept, you can hear everyone walking up the stairs and every little creak from other rooms. Over all I was so unhappy and out of pocket for this stay I wish I had stayed in my car.

Shocking awful

SHOCKING SERVICE WE WAITED 30 mins to seat for breakfast then another 30 mins and no one took our order so we left even tho we paid for breakfast and had to spend more money then expected to find other food. The rooms are old fashaned and light shades dirty then on the Sunday we went for a drink in the bar and there was no service And no one at the reception to ask 30 mins later someone come back and didn’t even apologise. The only good thing about this hotel was the swimming pool.

No one at reception when we tried to check in. keys were given without asking for our identification and meals times not adequately or not at all presented to us. We had to keep guessing things by ourselves and asking around that it felt like we were bothering them? We had to keep chasing after our tails which can be exhausting?
