Hotels in Great Comberton

"Right in the centre of things"

"Check in was absolutely fine, polite, helpful and quick in providing our room cards, so no issues there. Upon arrival into the hotel room, I noticed the minibar was completely empty; also with no complimentary water set out. This I do expect in any establishment with three stars or higher. Into the bathroom, the ceiling extractor fan was screeching and noisy; requiring a small whack to quieten it down. The shower felt a little dangerous as it was extremely narrow with a boxed pipework near to my head making it that much more precarious. End of day one, and then into day two and the breakfast. Again, nothing wrong with the staff who were always polite and helpful. They do a wonderful job in often challenging times. Menu's were placed either on the table or presented to us, although far too little a time was offered for us to make a choice or decision of breakfast. Admittedly we could've asked for more time to choose, we were offered the full English cooked breakfast which wasn't terrible. The hash brown or pancake was though. Check out, the gentleman on the reception desk wasn't too welcoming or helpful; instead remained seated happily content with tip tapping away on his computer. Location I must say is absolutely wonderful and so close to the town centre. The hotel was overall very clean, with beautifully maintained grounds; although we didn't come for the lawns. When staying in 4 of 5 star establishments, and now being in my 50's; I do hold a certain expectations."

"After check in, we went to our room (140) which had a double bed in one room and 2 sofa beds in the adjoining room, lots of space for everyone! One of the sofa beds wasn’t made up so I asked reception for help. They quickly came along with bedding and we went for a swim before dinner. Dinner was served in the bar as there were too few guests to use the restaurant. The food was standard hotel price and quality, it filled a hole but wouldn’t be a reason to return. We returned to our room and despite being a bit too hot, we all slept well. We woke in the morning and fitted in another swim before breakfast. Someone had registered for breakfast under our room number - a non resident and his kids freeloading. My daughter began itching her arm but I thought nothing of it. Over the course of the next couple of hours she was itchy all over and when I looked she had red itchy spots all over both arms, her shoulders and back. I emailed the hotel to let them know so they could check the room/sofa bed and bedding but they haven’t replied. We were due to return on our way back home but have managed to cancel this. We are now out of pocket for antihistamine, creams and washing our clothing at 60 degrees but we learnt an important lesson. I have stayed in many hotels and never thought to check for such things. I don’t think I’ll ever sleep anywhere again without a mattress inspection. "
