Dovecliff Hall Hotel

Very good

Found the hotels we stayed...

Liked: Staff. Location. Room7
Disliked: Room 4. Cobwebs and spiders. In bathroom. Outdoor lighting floods into room so you can’t leave the windows a jar to get a breeze on hot nights. Pitiful water pressure. What’s the point of a big corner bath? If you’d have to stay there a week to fill it and yes, I know it’s old but fit a pump?!

First visit

Liked: Staff very friendly. A warm welcome. Room and bathroom quite spacious. Loved being able to open the big sash windows.Food in restaurant very good.
Disliked: Young staff wearing casual clothes. Would like to have seen uniforms in a 4* hotel. Not a very professional first impression. Pillows very hard. Nice to have a choice of softer pillows. No information in the room. On arrival, we had to ask times for breakfast and dinner but when we asked to see a menu, the young lady printed a copy for us which we appreciated.Visited during a heatwave but we couldn't get any cool water in the shower. Even on lowest setting it was too hot to stand under.

Good location and friendly staff....

Liked: Location. Gardens and all the staff were very friendly
Disliked: There was no wine list. Great that the staff know the wine menu but I would have liked a menu. Limited vegetarian choice on menu. The bathroom door in room 9 didn’t have a lock and could do with pain touch ups.

We found it pricey for...

Liked: Location was ideal, clean environment. Parking available. Well kept grounds. Staff catered for allergies extremely well and were very pleasant. Overall a good experience.
Disliked: We were allocated quite a small room at the top of the staircase and were disturbed by noisy guests throughout the night. Struggled with the bath taps to get the water temperature right. Added to it a couple of flies and a spider visited us in the room.
