Oddfellows On The Park

Lovely hotel in its own gardens keeping its old world charm . Outside bar area if weather permits . Our room was a loft room with air con . Room was clean , bed comfy , original beams showing , great views over gardens . Seemed a quiet hotel overall which was nice , bar area cosy although a bit expensive for drinks , why do hotels insist on overcharging guests for drinks ? Breakfast was very nice , well cooked great choice and served in a lovely olde worlde room overlooking the gardens . Staff overall very pleasant and helpful especially the lady that served our breakfast . This was our 3rd visit so says it all . We also think it is competitively priced for what you get ( apart from bar drinks ) . Hotel very clean overall .

Lovely hotel in a great location, the hotel itself is beautiful and the staff are really friendly and could not do enough for us, the room was spotless and I could not fault it. However, the Sunday meal in the restaurant was not to my taste, I had the vegetarian mushroom stroganoff pie!! the only vegetarian option and I could not recommend it!! Maybe in the future the restaurant might consider another option ,the started was lovely and the desert. I will be booking again in the future.

We came for afternoon tea. Considering unlimited tea was included we only had one cup each because the cocktails here were so delicious. The weather was fantastic so we ate outside. The food was good, and they had catered to my hatred of sultanas (by prior notice) and my friends inability to eat cheese (without notice). We enjoyed everything and then decanted to the Stud Bar where we were served by the excellent friendly and efficient Jake. Having said that, the service was superb throughout. They have a murder mystery night at the beginning of November and we intend to attend that. Comfortable and clean. We will definitely be back. Well recommended.

This hotel is marketed as a 5 star luxury hotel. Absolutely not in our experience. The suite we booked (meant to be the best) was filthy and grimy to the point where we swiftly decamped to another hotel around an hour away. Front of house didnt seem bothered and no response form the Hotel Manager, Event Coordinator or Sales Director. Also had a meeting room booked to meet customers which was NO BETTER, filthy doors and screen, badly stained chairs, food remnants from the previous users. Again, no response from hotel management. I fail to see how this could possibly be listed as a 5 star luxuty hotel as in our opinion it was a million miles from this. It was the only reason we booked it and it falls way, way, way below expectations. Would never book again.

Another excellent overnight stay at Oddfellows on the park. This is our second time staying, with the first being October 2022. Nothing has changed and we love it. Same decor, wonderfully comfortable beds, lovely friendly staff, great food, great surroundings. We particularly enjoy the pitch and putt nearby in the park. Particularly love the al carte breakfast offerings - not the usual horrible buffets! Previously we stayed in the Kendal Suite, this time we stayed in a club plus room and one is as lovely as the other. I know some complained RE the bathroom set up, but I love it. It’s modern and an excellent use of space. One minor issue is that the silicone areas in the shower need attending too but I haven’t down rated the hotel due to this, as I’ve stayed at a number of 5 star resorts lately across the world and this seems to generally be an issue no matter where I go. Regardless, we will be back again soon!
