Bishops Lydeard Vacations from $1,477

Great hotel with parking and walkable

Hundreds of years after the second wealthiest man in Britain stops building thorrnbury castle because he gets beheaded by Henry 8th for gossiping about him there we were, in the sumptuous luxurious hotel, with the Michelin key, eating top notch scoff in the restaurant with 3 AA rosettes looking forward to a night in the tower.

Checking in to the property was easy and the room was clean and the kitchen well stocked with supplies. The apartment block however was incredibly noisy as there was a lot of street noise and noise from within the building from upstairs. The bathroom had horrible hospital flooring and the sink and shower were very small. The bed also was incredibly uncomfortable as the mattress had been worn down on one side leaving a lump in the middle. I also paid a little extra assuming I would have the room pictured with a small dining table and didn’t receive that room. The stay was okay as I needed it for commuting to work but I wouldn’t stay again.

Sheets hadn't been changed the whole time i was there. But everything else was good and clean. Didn't appreciate someone settling the smoke alarm off at 4am. good

Room was lovely and the staff super attentive on check in even though there was a lost booking between them and Expedia. Marco Pierre White staff were lovely and sang happy birthday for our friend with a brownie and cake which was a nice touch. The spa pool area has no indoor relaxation beds which was a shame but the treatment with Becky made up for it-fab massage! Staff in the Spa and lounge there equally lovely. Only a couple of things...corridors in the hotel smelt a bit fousty and better comms between Expedia and the hotel would have saved time on check in. We would come back to stay again.Thanks!
