Craven Arms Vacations from $1,028

Very nice room, but had to run the water for a very long time to clear the brown colour enough to get a bath, so for peace of mind, bought a large bottle of water to make a cup of tea. Booked on Expedia and seemingly paid more for room only than a direct booking cost with breakfast, but it’s a lesson learned about Expedia. In all, a decent quiet room with good parking.

Overall would describe our experience at the Grand as Sloppy. Beautifully renovated and decorated building and interiors. Rooms and beds were comfy and quiet. Check in was slow and despite arriving at 4pm when check in is from 3pm we were told our room might not be ready. Room could have been cleaner, 2 of us but only one Robe. Shower gel has been re-filled with water not shower gel. Bar was chaos- despite there being free tables we were told we had to sit at the bar. We waited 15 mins for a 2 standard drinks whilst listening to the bar staff bicker. When we came to pay, couldn’t charge to the room as Reception had not asked us for credit card details. Very frustrating and this meant we couldn’t redeem an offer we were entitled to. Breakfast was good. Overall expected more, especially for what we paid. Disappointing- Staff need to up their game.

Beautiful grounds and delightful house. Tasty and well presented food. Spacious room,slightly tired bathroom walls/ mastic but nothing to put me off. Overall a very good experience.

Traditional Cotswolds hotel set in lovely gardens with easy parking at the rear. Service was always delivered with a smile and was prompt. We had dinner in the restaurant, and the food was nice, well-cooked and fresh. The suite we stayed in was spacious and clean with a massive bathtub. The room was clean, although the lights were very annoying! We used the spa, which is clean and never felt crowded, my wife had a treatment and she said it was very good. Overall happy with our weekend getaway.
