Minstead Vacations from $733

I arrived a day early by accident 😬 but the staff were amazing and changed my day for me which i was truly grateful for. The room was spotless with a heater, fan, iron, hairdryer, kettle etc... I had a lovely evening swim in the heated pool. I didn't eat there as i was with my 13 year old daughter so we went to the nearby shopping center for food and a mooch around but the food at the hotel smelt so nice and it looked good with a nice bar and lounge area. Would recommended and would certainly stay again 😊

Room very noisy at night! There was a consistent humming noise in room which got worse then went away then started up again got worse then went away! Not sure if it was outside or in hotel. Alley way a night that the room over looked had people shouting and being noisy! Badly fitted duet quilt that in the end i took off bed and just had duet cover over us!,but couldn't believe the disgusting quilt underneath the cover! Looked as though it had been out on the street! Very discoloured and large stains! which we have photos of!

Unlike almost everything else at the Old Thorns, the breakfast was really sub standard. Tough leathery bacon, tinned mushrooms and (what tasted like) powdered scrambled eggs. I've had better breakfasts in a Travel Lodge! Also, if it was not included, they charged nearly £17 each for it! Such a shame. The wedding catering we attended was very good by comparison.

This exquisite little hotel is an architectural gem, beautifully decorated, comfortable rooms with sumptuous bathrooms, designed for luxury getaways. No food service is offered, except a token continental morning starter, but ample dining is available within walking distance. Hotel staff is very helpful, friendly and discreet. We would gladly have spent more nights here, and heartily recommend the Carlton for a unique experience.

Very comfortable room and bed. Everything was spotlessly clean. All the staff were friendly, welcoming, and courteous. Food was very good. Spa was excellent
