Find the Cheap Grafton Hotels

Room dirty. Dusty floors and skirting. The walls had been painted around the TV and headboard. Cracks in the ceiling which had been painted over. Stains on the throw on the bed possibly blood? Reported this via email and reception and have still not received a reply.

This is a very nice hotel. 21 of us, ranging in age from 5 years to late 80's enjoyed the facilities and the service. It is on a main road, but the site is sloping, so one does not hear traffic noise. On the other side of the hotel is a very large area of grass, where the children could run. The views from there are stunning. Since we were a large party we just fitted into the conservatory for dinner, which meant we did not disturb other guests. The staff are relaxed, friendly and helpful. (one child was amused to find her soft toys araneged as a reading group). There is ample parking on a gravel surface. The sitting room (Violete Szabo) was comfortable. The menu and the wine list were short: and lacking pretension. The food was generally good, with one exception: the naan bread was dire and not like any naan I had ever had on many visits to India: thick, rather tasteless and clearly not the product of a naan oven. Supermarkets do it much better. Is it suitable for the disabled? I walk with a three wheel walkign frame. There is a route (rather rough) from car park to the hotel, giving a level entrance. I had a ground floor rooom approached after two rather heavy fire- doors. It was large, comfortake, with a double and a single bed. It had a shower that could be used by pulling an a cord - which extended about 8 inches from the ceiling: I did not try. Unfortunately, the route to the conservatory where we ate, and the breakfast room involved three wide steps where I needed help. A wheelchair would be very difficult.

Breakfast is very good. The chef orders it now: omelet, shredded cheese, vegetables, mushrooms, etc. It's great. Other kinds of bread, fresh juice coffee tea. Meat has sausages, bacon. Peach apple, cantaloupe, pineapple and other fruits, a kind of Danone fruit yoghurt. All in all, including early value
