Find the Cheap Hinton-in-the-Hedges Hotels

We stayed 3 nights B&B following a Travelzoo offer. Let me say firstly that the level of customer service, friendliness and general willingness to help was very high. The stay was let down a bit by the non function of the a/c in our initial room during a very hot spell in room 22 on the first night. Even with a fan it was unbearably hot during the night [being on ground floor we didn't wish to open the windows] and when I mentioned this at reception the following morning they said they would have a look but if unsuccessful allocate another room that was cooler. This happened [room 25] and whilst not having a/c either was positioned out of the daylong sun and had cooling original thick stone walls. I noticed since that another reviewer also mentioned the same issue in Oct 23 [was this never fixed?] so I'd suggest getting this sorted out ASAP as it was the only uncomfortable let down. Cooked breakfast each morning was tasty and well cooked. We had an evening meal in the restaurant on the first night and that was good as well. Included was a small cream tea for 2: 2 scones/cream/jam no variety choice of teas offered. There is adequate parking for guests within the courtyards. The location was excellent for our day trips to Stratford/Avon, Blenheim Palace etc. Incidentally due to personal circumstances we had to rearrange the dates a few days prior to our original dates. The reception staff were very helpful and amended them without issue or query. We were grateful for their understanding. So in summary overall pleased with the stay, the price we paid under this deal and especially the customer service but disappointed concerning the first room. A well located hotel for trips outs and a pleasant small village with old church and a couple of interesting shops.

DANGER TO HEALTH Do not expect to sleep in this property until the person in the room above decides to go to bed, the floor creaking is unbelievable. We were lucky to get 4 hours sleep. At 12.30am I had to go and knock their door and explain we were unable to sleep due to their constant running around they did not stop immediately and started again very early. A cursory 'sorry' regarding the upstairs tenant did not really cut it from the owner next morning. While I appreciate it was beyond their control the room rented to us was for sleeping in and was obviously not fit for purpose. While it is no longer a legal requirement to PAT test electrical items we noted the kettle and TV had not been done 1) at all and 2) since 2021, however, IT IS a legal requirement to clean and descale a shower head at least quarterly. We felt unable to use the shower due to the state of its head as it can lead to Legionnaires' disease. A bath? not a good option since on lifting the rubber bathmat various and multiple patches of mould were visible. The light switches in the bedroom and paintwork on the inside of the bathroom door were filthy. The breakfast (which we did not have) sounded very mean for the price, the broadband is apparently VERY iffy due to the width of the stone walls and the write up in the room reads like Faulty Towers. The location is excellent but the accommodation is over priced for its quality. Having run rental accommodation ourselves for many years we speak from experience.
