The Hunt Lodge

The Hunt Lounge is tired and dated. It needs a lot of renovation to bring it up to a more modern standard i.e. 21st Century. In our room the shower holder was so high up that the shower hose was stretched not allowing water to flow from it so you had to hold the shower to bathe (not conducive for washing yourself) broken bath panel, big chip in the bathroom basin, small duvet for a couple. On entry to reception you could smell cooking drifting from the kitchen into that area. We stayed 2 nights, and no housekeeping done. We read the info in the room and it mentioned the environmental impact of towels and to hang them up if you didn’t require fresh ones nothing else was mentioned about not making beds or replenishing the tea and coffee etc leaving you with nothing the following day which disappointing. On check out there was a bucket in reception catching drips as the roof is leaking not a good look just confirming what I already knew. Breakfast was available for purchase £4 for a ‘to-go’ breakfast however no idea what was in it so no idea if it was value for money or suitable. No staff at reception so was more problematic for getting info other than checking in and getting your keys. Having said that girl who checked us in was lovely and went out of her way to get us early access. The Hunt Lodge is well situated in the town and warm

It's a bit basic with no facilities on site. The room was clean and tidy and its close to the railway station. I stayed here because my usual hotel closed. It was a cold dark week in January which probably didn't help.
