Hellidon Hotels with Swimming Pool

"great breakfast and comfortable bed"

"We've been visiting this place for decades and our most recent visit, since taken over by Sunday, fell short of expectation. Maybe teething or transitional issues but the place has lost its charm. We were surprised to be charged for swimming, £12 pppd, this had always been included previously. We went down to the bar and restaurant for dinner but left within 10 minutes as there was no atmosphere at all, you could hear a pin drop, no music or TV on, no one wanted to speak. We chose a table to sit on and it hadn't been cleaned, can't say the bar staff were run off their feet... The grounds are beautiful and the rooms are always clean, fresh, with everything you need. Now you have to request housekeeping via an App, it will not be done routinely. Obviously these companies want to find every way to increase profit but it might come at detriment to what makes this place lovely. Not sure we'll be back."

"Overall presentation of the hotel was outstanding. Food was great both in morning and evening. If you don’t order breakfast online you can get a check in price breakfast for a tenner at the moment when you arrive 👍👍"

"The breakfast was very overpriced. The room was very attractive, historic and clean. The bed was comfortable. The family enjoyed the pool. Major complaint was that it was a hot day, the air conditioning wouldn't work and to make it worse, the heat wouldn't go off. "

"Everything was lovely!"

"Decent hotel, we found the hotel bed really uncomfortable, bad night sleep now suffering the consequences of a bad back."

"Staff need training on what disabled guests need. Was incorrectly given a non accessible room on checking in, then just allocated a room with shower. The restaurant was inaccessible to disabled guests. It involved numerous step (both up and down), and didn’t seem to care when I explained that stairs were difficult for me. The lift for wheelchair access was non operational the entire stay. Access to the shower was difficult."

"Staff were amazing. This hotel was clean & tidy. Food was delicious. Breakfast arrangements were made early for us as had a competition to attend. "

"The staff are lovely and the rooms are clean and well-equipped."
