Wedmore Place

It was a very pleasant,...

Liked: The property is rather unique, charming, on the vineyard, surrounded by old tall trees and lots of greenery. Made a welcome change to the sameness and monotony of chain hotels. The breakfast was adequate but the coffee was bad. Had to pay dearly for a cappuccino as a special order to wake up! The staff was pleasant and helpful.
Disliked: The property could benefit from some work but the squeaking floors and faded tapestries add charm and period feel.

Liked: Croissant kisch Lorraine and fruit salad in the breakfast.
Disliked: The hotel pretends to be something that it is not. European style 4 star hotel. For sure, it has not European standards for a 4 star hotel. Major problem there is no refrigerators in the room. Since I am using some medicine that need to be kept cool, I carry some ice packs. I asked the receptionist to put them in the freezer in order to become solid ice, and although she said se understood, she just put them in a regular refrigerator so when I collected them they were not frozen but just liquid. The afternoon receptionist was quite indifferent. We had booked 3 months in advance a specific room. Without mentioning anything she allocated to us, a different, inferior according to me. When we produced written proof of our reservation, she carefully moved out of hearing distance in order to call her supervisor. She offered another room , which we accepted, and a bottle of wine ,which they tried to forget, but we reminded them on check out. Overall, below are our expectations.

Could be better

Liked: The location is very nice, as it is near to the major attractions, but not right next to them. The flights of wine that were included with our booking were excellent.
Disliked: The entire compound (hotel, winery, restaurant) is quite run-down. It is a shame, as the hotel is a unique and historic old building that should be really nice.If you eat in the restaurant, be aware that the portions are not large. If you are a big eater, you won't be full eating just a dinner.I also had a billing dispute. I'm not sure if it was the hotel or Booking.com who screwed up, but the clerk at the hotel was not helpful. Booking.com did a good job straightening out my problem and issuing a refund.
