Barbrook Vacations from $1,349

The hotel is fine but they hiked up the price so much because it was university drop off weekend and Women’s’ England World Rugby. We had no choice but to book this hotel as all others were booked up and it was probably quadruple the normal rate. Then on top of that they charged us for parking and there was no breakfast included. Very disappointing.

Great views and comfortable rooms. Amazing service!

I really like the people that run it ...you can have a laugh and a joke and their professional. I love the quirky old fashioned styling but it's done in a modern way. The menu seemed basic but the quality of the food was fantastic everybody should try the prawns starter !!! Two dislikes Coffee machine in room too small difficult to use. The noise of extractor fans outside the windows was a constant drone but okay if you're used to noise and not from the quiet countryside. I'm definitely going to visit again and I still give it a 9 /10

Overall had a good stay at Belgrave Sands, check in was smooth. The room was nice and cosy and spotlessly clean, however during the night was really hot and had to use their fan. The weather was not hot at all so I dread to think what it would be like in the summer without air-con. The room was cleaned everyday which was great. The breakfast was very good however i found the service really slow, on our final day i think we were forgotten about because we had to ask about it. One of the servers i did not get her name but she told us she was originally from East London, she was very nice and made sure we werw ok and had everything that we needed. We liked the added bonus of room service for an extra £5. It appears this hotel caters for OAPs but this didnt bother us too much because it meant the hotel was relatively quiet. I would recommend this hotel because overall it was a good stay.

Staff were lovely. Hotel really needs modernising and updating. The carpets were disgusting in the corridors. Upholstery needs cleaning. Shame as the location and the building itself is very good. Could be wonderful. Drive needs replacing.
