"Your staff, from reception [Olivia] to bar staff and bar manager were so helpful and kind. We also met a couple of other staff members [new there, from your other hotel]. Such lovely people. We wnjoyed speaking with everyone and getting insight about the manor."

"We had a nice stay overall, but were very disappointed with one member of staff. He appeared to be making up rules, telling us our children were only allowed 40 minutes in the pool, whereas the day before another staff member had confirmed there were no such restrictions. Plus as were told to leave the pool, a couple with a child joined the pool for a swim. He also tried to charge us for towels, but later admitted we didn’t need to pay once he realised we were hotel guests. We had already signed in with our room number, so this should have been clear. Overall, we found this staff member to be quite incompetent and rude, which unfortunately impacted our experience. Other than that it was a nice stay, slightly out dated room and over priced food."

"rooms were a good size, with 2 armchairs! Always a plus. Breakfast was a buffet on day 1 but on day2 they cancelled and we had to order what we wanted. Hotel is central and the parking is excellent and free. "

"The “hotel” is really a series of separate buildings spread out across a large site. There is no central location to meet for drinks/ coffee. The only restaurant is at the top of a hill (accessed by steep stairways/roads ). There appeared to be some golf buggies but it was not clear how these could be accessed. The restaurant was large and cafeteria-like, lacking in atmosphere. There was a restricted menu; no room service available (you have to collect your meal) and I was told at 4.15 that they stopped serving afternoon tea at 4pm ( which is exactly when most people would want it). The room was clean and well decorated but it was very dimly lit and had minimal toiletries ( no shower cap/tissues). At just over £200 a night for a standard double room it was not great value."

"I was lucky my room was ready early, it was clean, spacious and had everything I needed. Every member of staff I encountered were professional and friendly, and the food was delicious."

"Everything was lovely about our stay Food was excellent and staff were attentive and very polite and proffesional"

"Disappointing and overpriced stay Booked Drift Inn for a birthday stay mainly for the pool/sauna, but left really disappointed. Decor is bright and modern, and the room was clean, quiet and the bed comfortable. Corridors smelled nice too. But there were visible stains and the room was far too hot. No air con and the fan was useless. I slept outside the duvet and my husband was sweating all night. Reception felt impersonal with self check in screens. Staff member looked bored and was vague when we asked about the pool, just pointing “over there” across the car park. Cafe Bar was a let down. Tables were dirty with old plates left. We were told we could eat outside, chose a sunny jetty table, then told after 6pm food wasn’t allowed there, only in the shaded area. This wasn’t explained upfront. We didn’t eat as it felt unclean and badly run. Leisure facilities are in a separate building across a car park/road and run by another company. We were told to call ahead as access isn’t guaranteed due to classes, even on a Sunday. Not the relaxed experience advertised. Breakfast food was nice, but layout poor. By the time you’d fetched everything it was cold. Poached egg arrived as we finished. Menus cleared early. Not a cheap stay. Felt disjointed and not worth the money. Wouldn’t return."

"The buffet breakfast looked appealing at first, but unfortunately, most of the food was either cold or only lukewarm. The menu was the same each day, which quickly became repetitive. The pancakes and waffles were especially disappointing—cold and hard, which is not what you would expect. Additionally, serving syrup and toppings from open containers felt awkward and less than ideal. The rooms themselves were clean, which I appreciated, but there were several inconveniences. I had to request a mini fridge, and even then, it did not get very cold. There was no air conditioning, so I had to rely on opening the window for cooler air. Washcloths were also not provided initially and had to be requested. The gym appeared well-equipped, but it was closed for several days during my stay, which was frustrating. Dining was also underwhelming—the steak was thin and not worth the price, and honestly should be reconsidered for the menu. The pizza lacked flavor, and even small details like drinks at the bar fell short, with minimal ice and overall not meeting typical standards. Overall, while the property has potential and maintains cleanliness, there are several service and quality issues that need improvement to meet expectations."
