Oddfellows On The Park

I went with my daughter for Afternoon Tea. What a lovely experience. Every member of staff we saw was friendly and competent. The service was prompt and the surroundings are stunning. The tea itself was faultless. We were able to make a few tweaks with the menu, my daughter is vegetarian so this was great. The sandwiches were obviously freshly made on lovely bread, a freshly baked sausage roll and scone, and the cakes were sensational. I’ve tried Afternoon Tea in lots of venues and this was up there with the best. Highly recommended.

We stayed two nights in the very quirky hotel.the venue and surrounding Bruntwood Park were very special. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. However our ground floor room was very small and I believe it is only fit for SINGLE occupancy. The housekeeping needs improvement as our bathroom was never refreshed during our stay.

We had a pre booked walk in Sunday Morning breakfast, great service and value for money with good quality produce. The staff are pleasant, however parking can be tricky as not many spaces for how many bedrooms. Unlimited drinks, juice, pastries, cerals and hot food for £20/person. Excllent location for any onward travel.

Definitely not a 5 star hotel. Room 15 was very small, no wardrobe, and the bathroom/wc configuration was awful - the wc is so small your knees practically touch the walls, and it was really smelly with stains all over the walls. There is no real door, just some part-frosted glass which doesn't allow any privacy. Separate shower with soap dish hanging off the wall, and very basic, cheap looking toiletries. Hallway had a vacuum cleaner with trailing cable left there all day and night. Really wouldn't recommend.

Nice setting in the park. Poor car parking - who wants to leave car in council car park across a dark park. Room was ok but carpets seen better days and needed vacuuming. The shower drenched the whole bathroom - very annoying. Pillows definitely need replacing. The restaurant was pleasant. Sadly, the evening sun was glinting off dirty windows with handprints clearly visible. A short menu but it looked good. Slightly on the expensive side. We ate at 7.30 pm but already two main courses were unavailable. The food was nicely cooked and tasty. Breakfast finishes at 9.30. Not great timing after a big evening meal. One of our party arrived at 9.30 on the dot but couldn't even order a coffee. It was very cold during breakfast so we closed the door but reprimanded from a grumpy staff member as they wanted it left open. All a bit harsh as we were the only ones there. Verdict - could be better with more attention to detail and by prioritising guests.
