Decided to treat the hubby to a suprise night away. Spent a while searching local hotels and this seemed the best deal. Upgraded to "Superior Double Room" which stated that had "luxury large king size bed, with jacuzzi bath and beautiful views overlooking river Avon."
place was easy to find, nice driveway, and easy to find reception. They were having decorating work done in the lobby, which, was a bit off-putting but tried to ignore it. The guy at reception (who was wearing tracksuit), didnt know about our reservation but took us to a room anyway. I knew it was wrong as soon as walked in as was tiny! So, the guy took us back to reception and we waited while he went off somewhere. He then took us to the 'Romance Spa Suite'. First impressions weren't great, as was freezing in there and just not what i expected: Jacuzzi bath was small and really noisy, TV only had 5 channels and fuzzy at that, wifi was temperamental and you could just about see the river! but after it warmed up a bit, I accepted it was no 'bog standard' travelodge and had a bit of character.
We decided not to eat there for tea as there was no atmosphere there at all, so went down to a nice pub restaurant instead. Room was nice and quiet so had a good nights sleep. we opted for lie-in rather than breakfast so can't comment on that.
it was 'ok' but i was a bit disappointed as was advertised as 4*, but i've stayed in better 3*s. glad i didnt pay the full price as would definately not have been wroth it. won't recommend it but we had a nice break anyway.
