Having stayed at one of its sister hotels in Shaftesbury we checked out Timbrells yard earlier this year and liked the ambience, welcome from the receptionist who took the trouble to show us her favourite room (not the most expensive) and location. We booked one of the Mezzanine rooms which overlooks the river through the trees, great choice for comfort and very quiet with a good seating area. The bed was comfortable and bottled water was supplied free of charge (not always the case). The bathroom is beginning to feel tired with evidence of poorly applied mastic in places and the room wasn't thoroughly cleaned during the day (coffee pot not and waste bin not emptied) more on this later. The bar is bustling day and night but we had no problem getting a seat and they offer a good choice of beers and wine. The restaurant is roomy and airy, the dinner was OK, nothing to write home about but equally no problems just not that inspired, for a hotel however the prices were decent. Breakfast was much better than dinner, good selection on offer and freshly prepared so full marks there. The biggest issue we had with Timbrells yard was the speed of service, they have job vacancies on their website and its clear to see why, service can be very slow with few staff to take care of things and this probably explains why the bedroom wasn’t 100% tidied up during the day. Despite the obvious strain, the staff remained very pleasant and helpful throughout which was good.
