Vacanze Stoke-sub-Hamdon

On arrival we were informed to dine within 8:30 p.m. and once sit at the restaurant (at approx 7:35 p.m.) we were informed that nothing on the menu, except for what displayed under "sunday roast", which included about 3 starters and 3 mains, would have been served. If we were told before we would have chosen a different dining location. My daughter and I are allergic to oils and asked for a plain salad with 2 boiled eggs and were told that they couldn't make it as the boiling process takes to long (!). Eventually we were served the salad with 2 slices of frozen avocado and payed £15 each for that! Just as crazy as it sounds. Both the guys (both uncooperative) at the restaurant did not even informed us that there were unseasoned plain veggies available, which we learned as we saw other's dishes passing by. When we asked for a portion of that, it was 8:36 p.m., we were told that the kitchen was closed and that they would have just served desserts from that moment on. Unbelievable, the kitchen was shut but not for desserts. Despite such bad experience in the evening, the morning staff was very kind and breakfast variety was very satisfying.

La struttura sembra un po' abbandonata a sè stessa ma, in realtà è un trasandato "voluto", girando per Bristol vi renderete conto che questa caratteristica fa parte un po' della città. Tuttavia, ho riscontrato una serie di problematiche nell'albergo: - lenzuola sporche, sia appena entrato in stanza, sia la sera, dopo che avevo richiesto un cambio delle lenzuola; - asciugamani sporchi; -adattatore della presa elettrica non funzionante; - la finestra non si apriva e non poteva esservi ricircolo d'aria; - l'aria condizionata può essere modulata solo dalla reception e non ha funzionato durante la notte del mio soggiorno. Devo precisare però che non appena ho evidenziato il tutto al manager dell'hotel, mi è stato detto che metà del soggiorno mi sarebbe stato rimborsato (cosa che è successo) e mi è stata offerta la colazione (per altro, buona). Purtroppo l'esperienza non è stata buona ma ho apprezzato tanto il comportamento del personale che ha tentato di rimediare alla pecche evidenziate.

Well worth the visit. Lovely country hotel.

We had a great one night stay at Berwick Lodge on a a Monday to celebrate a birthday. The sun shone and the Housemartins flew happily around whilst we sat on the terrace having a cocktail. The à la carte menu was fantastic - well worth the cost and breakfast was very tasty. Will definitely stay again in one of the other fantastic looking rooms.

Room could have done with a more thorough clean, lots of dusty areas. Toilet seat not secure and communal areas ie stairs pretty grubby. Staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast was ok. Paid for a superior room but definitely not superior standard.
