Breakfast is of buffett style, good size, with very helpfull staff.The hotel is situated within nice grounds & the additional leisure facilities are clean & well kept. Rome rates are very comparable if booked via Active Hotels.”

• The friendliness of the staff, the grounds, excellent breakfast, really hot water!
• When we booked in we were shown a room with a shower and with yourselves had specifically booked a room with a bath. However staff sorted this out brilliantly.

“Perhaps might like to have known that it was a fairly basic type of hotel. Because I had seen the 'big house' I had made an assumption that the rooms would be in the house and of course they are not. But that might be might fault for not asking enough questions.

We were a bit shocked when there was a knock at the door at 10.25am to see if we were ready to book out as they needed to clean the room as they had a wedding party arriving. We had assumed check out time would be be midday - I was dressed only in a bath towel at the time. This is a very minor complaint!”

“I filled in the on site questionnaire, which unfortunately reflected that yet again a quality breakfast was spoiled by being lukewarm.”

• Spacious, clean, comfortable, modern

“Though a short stay, the surroundings at New Place are peaceful and well maintained, which is exactly what I required. Obviously as a conference centre there is more of a 'business' feel to the place, which was especially noticeable at breakfast, where no one was in attendance to offer a welcome or directions, which might be more suited to purely leisure focused hotels.

As a lone female guest I was slightly worried that the room had no internal lockinging function, as though I am sure any threats are only perceived through imagination and not in reality, it would have been reasssuring.”

• Very clean and comfortable. Late night staff were miserable but day staff were excellent.
• We arrived late and the room was very cold. that is my only complaint

“I thought the country house was beautiful. The service and breakfast were brilliant. We only stayed the one night and left early the next morning to do the Great South Run so little time to really appreciate the surroundings.”

• Location, friendly staff, comfortable room, my husband enjoyed using the swimming pool and facilities.
• Only one minor point in that there were not enough tea bags and I did not notice the spare pillows until we were leaving

“It would have been an advantage to have been able to have dinner at the hotel. The food at the hotel round the corner was not wonderful, but other than that and the points raised above, we enjoyed our stay.”

• The room and bed were very comfortable and meals were wonderful!
• None

“I used this facility several times in 1995 and 1996 for training but had not had occasion to visit it since then. So I was absolutely delighted to return to find the center every bit as well managed and pleasant as it had been earlier. I had a cozy upstairs room with a comfortable bed and pillow and inexpensive 0800 calls (a definite requirement for me). In addition, the meal quality, selection, and presentation as well as the dining room service were excellent. In short, the overall ambience was as enjoyable as I'd experienced years before.

Thanks for a very nice repeat experience!”
