Hallgarth The Manor House

Bed sheet had a red stain which looked like blood. Complained to staff & was told it was red wine that they already knew about but hadn’t told me or changed the sheet before my arrival. We were told that they was awaiting a solution from the upholsterer as they couldn’t remove the stain. The shower tray was not clean from last use prior to our arrival & still wasn’t cleaned after we complained & housekeeping had attended. Red stain was still present after bed had been made. Window latch on sash window was broken as was the safety cable so any little ones could have fallen out if staying in the room. Toilet roll holder on wall & bathroom door handle were both very loose. On morning after first night stay, the main light switch broke & the rocker switch fell off causing other switches for main light to trip leaving us without a main light & having to rely on lamps. Immediately raised this with staff but 24hrs later this had not been repaired. Hotel provided an upgrade for final night to a larger room. Window issues were the same in the new room. Breakfast was good, experience in restaurant for dinner..very bad! Both ordered the mixed grill & prompted waitress on steak preference. Asked for medium rare & steak was like leather and we were only given butter knives. When questioned was told steak is cooked in advance of order. Wife’s pork steak was under cooked & request was made to cook for longer but it never came back as it had been left in the oven & chef had gone home!

We were in a refurbish room which was very spacious and ckean. We had a lovely relaxing stay. A lovely greeting by the receptionist on our arrival. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was excellent. We were there one evening for a family Birthday party and the food and service ran very smooth, the food was fabulous.
