Odkryj pobyt w mieście Marlborough

We stayed at this Hotel to break up a trip to the Midlands and hadn't visited Marlborough before, although I had driven through about 20 years ago for work and thought it was an impressive High Street. It is still a very impressive main street and this hotel is right in the centre of it. It's an old coaching Inn, so drooping in places, but our room was full of wooden beams and atmosphere. The furniture was a bit worn and tired but that only added to the effect. It was all very spacious and the bathroom was well appointed. The bed was a good size and comfortable, if a little on the firm side. The staff were very friendly and efficient and the location very good, especially with a large, easily accessible and free car park. Dinner in the hotel was a bit of a disappointment, for me anyway, a huge but not particularly tasty steak and ale pie and lumpy gravy. We were given a voucher which gave us 20% off the bill, which was handy and my wife's steak was good, she said. Despite facing the main street and being above the bar, the room was very quiet. Breakfast was a world apart from my underwhelming dinner the night before. Plenty of choice of cereals and pastries, lovely teas and coffee and the Full English Breakfast was one of the best I've ever had. Cooked to order, with butcher's quality pork sausages, perfectly cooked, lovely poached egg on sourdough toast, very good smoked bacon, mushrooms and tomato and beans. To sum up, it's an old hotel, car parking is great, location is perfect, staff were lovely, the room was huge and comfortable and the breakfast was amazingly good. We'd certainly return when we are up that way.

I booked a one night stay with the cocktail masterclass for my hubbys 50th present. I booked early check-in and late check-out and a bottle of champagne in our room. Driving past the hotel I will admit we weren’t sure as it just looks like an ordinary house from the front. We parked up the hill to get free parking and walked down to the hotel. Following the text instructions, we easily unlocked the front door and found our room. Wow!!!! What a beautiful room we had! Highly recommend Room 2 with a bathroom as least as big if not bigger than the bedroom. The bed was so comfortable and I was relieved and pleased to see that the pre-ordered champagne was a decent one! So often you get a crappy cheap bottle marked up but ours was lovely! Simon was great on text and immediately dealt with some noisier other guests which was hugely appreciated. Our cocktail class was ready early so we headed down to the Bite Me restaurant not knowing what to expect. We are an outgoing couple but don’t love experiences out of our comfort zone so we’re very nervous. We had a lovely greeting from Jason in the restaurant who then introduced Scott our mixologist. We were relieved to see our table was out of the way of the other diners so we weren’t self conscious and off we went! An absolutely fabulous evening making cocktails, eating great burgers - I’m a gluten free veggie and that was no problem at all! I really want to thank Scott for a wonderful class/evening. He explained everything so well and we have already put some of our new skills into practice. Jason was very attentive all evening and basically both brothers made our evening extra special! Thanks to Simon also for being so responsive on messages. I like to think that sometimes you do put your phone down so you can have a life too but we hugely appreciated the help and info! We left the next morning feeling thoroughly chilled out which is unusual for us and hope to return soon!

Couldn’t fault the service - the guy that served us was extremely informative, attentive but not intrusive. As for the food - the BEST fillet steak I have ever had. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals - can’t wait to go back again. Highly recommend a visit.

Stay was good house keeping always a let down go out come back always got to ask for fresh towels need to sharpen up me thinks ……
