The Old Court Hotel

Whilst the setting is idyllic and the staff very polite the menu when you get there is not the menu on the website and there were no draft real ales available. We drove 25.mins to get there so I was disappointed. Shame as it could have been much better.

No complaints at all, especially for the price. Parking on site. Friendly staff. Comfy bed. Kettle with biscuits, teas and coffee. Lovely breakfast. Little TV in the room. Decor in the room is dated but clean. I should have tried the restaurant for my evening meal as it smelt amazing. Great for a short stay in Whitney.

Dont listen to negative comments Lovely room comfortable bed, staff are so lovely. Breakfast was really nice. Thank you would recommend. Pillows were so soft. Evening meal was really nice. Good location Thank you for making our wedding anniversary so special.

The sinking feeling I felt when I drove past the hotel was matched when we went into the room. It was a small double that felt tired and shabby with old wallpaper on the walls and a dated bathroom. Breakfast was also super basic with a choice of 3 cereals 2 juices and a hot breakfast selection - which was OK. The instant coffee was served by the cup...... However, the bed was comfy, the shower hot and powerful and the staff all friendly. If it has been at half the price it would of been value for money, it was not therefore was not!! Should of read the Tripadvisior reviews before I booked!!

Sadly for us the hotel was probably the worst we've ever stayed at. It was awful. In the first room we were given there was no wardrobe, no window, the shower was built into the corner of the room with not even a shelf for soap, in fact the complimentary shower gel was left on the skirting board! There were no shelves in the room, the only place to put your things was literally in a hay trough. There was a single bracket on the wall with 3 wire coathangers so we assume this was meant to be our wardrobe? When we refused the room we were told it was the only room they had available so we requested a refund. They did find us another room but pointed out that the room we were initally offered was the one associated with breaks paid for with gift vouchers. We had in fact paid an additional £181 on top of the voucher value £100 in order to have a three night break with breakfast. (a total cost of £281 for 3 nights) This was booked 6 months ago, for a special birthday weekend away. The room we ended up in had mould in the bathroom and thick dust everywhere. The (paper thin) towels had footprints and dirty marks on. On the plus side, the bed was huge & comfy!!! The main hotel stank, The carpets in the corridors are filthy and worn out. The fire door was so rotten that you could see to the outside through the hole in it. The hotel claims to have a picnic area with views and a terrace. What it actually has are tables in a courtyard area (pretty much in the car park) It is also on a very busy roundabout which ought to be mentioned in its write up. The food wasn't very good either. The staff, although friendly, seem so shy they hardly speak. One other couple we met complained of having raw sewage all over their bathroom floor after flushing the toilet. I wouldn't leave a review like this if it wasn't valid. I wish I had been warned.

This place it ok. The rooms are quite tired and ours had a noisy fan outside the window and a light that flashed on the ceiling (smoke alarm I assume) that was quite distracting when trying to get to sleep. I suppose it wasn’t expensive, so ok for one night.
