Hotels near Farringford Historic House and Gardens in Freshwater

When you spend multiple thousands of pounds on your wedding day, you would expect hotel staff to do their upmost to make the day as special as possible. What you do not expect is kitchen staff to completely ignore the list of severe allergies that has been given to them, and then once they have handed out allergen filled food to those affected become rude and defensive to those affected, the bride and groom and family members. The night before my now wife and her bridesmaids had a room booked for all to stay in, when they arrived the room was too small for them all, was so dirty that one bridesmaid hung her dress and it immediately got marked. They were moved to a different room and told there would be no charge. They then ordered room service, which was overpriced and the portion sizes were abysmal. The mistakes made by kitchen staff led my brother (the best man) to a state of near anaphylaxis, meaning he was stuck in a room vomiting and shivering in bed, struggling to catch his breath for the rest of the day. While me and other family members were trying to find out what my brother had consumed to lead to this reaction one member of staff (Mark) confronting my brother who was at the time, hunched over and vomiting, and telling him what was happening was not the fault of the hotel, and there was no chance of contamination in the kitchen. While Mark was trying to cover the hotels arse to the person that they had, for all intents and purposes, poisoned. The ”food and beverage manager” (George) was telling concerned family members and wedding guests that he could not disclose what had been given to my brother (effectively breaking Natasha's law), despite us explaining to him that if we had to rush to the hospital they would need to know what had been consumed. He also told me and my new wife that we had signed disclaimers stating it was not the fault of the hotel if this kind of incident occurred. Eventually, I managed to convince him to bring me the packaging of the Ice Cream my brother had consumed, although he confidently declared it was ”dairy free” the label read dairy ice cream, once I pointed this out he exclaimed ”oh sh1t” and hid the ice cream lid behind his back telling me and other family members ”no proof, no proof”. We still have video evidence of this section occurring, if we require it. And while my sister was trying to explain we needed the ”proof” for if my brother had to go to the hospital, Mark walked over to us at which point George held up a hand and told us to ”shush”. Mark then told George to let us take a photo, which he did, and we did. At which point we were offered a small amount of money behind the bar as a ”good will gesture”, to which I had replied that at a minimum the goodwill gesture would need to be an open bar. For the rest of the wedding George was still continuing to work despite our requests to remove him from our event due to his rudeness to our guests. My brother was unable to leave the hotel room unti

Stayed here with the family last weekend and would highly recommend this hotel. The room was clean and, even though the rules have changed, housekeeping were very efficient. Breakfast was as you would expect but with more care and attention than I have seen at any other Travelodge. Hot food was replenished almost instantly and everything was clean and tidy. Special mention must go to Doreen who provided hands down the best customer service I have ever received in any hotel. My son is coeliac and Doreen took the time on our first evening to go through each menu item and double check what was suitable for him. She was friendly and engaging, always with a smile on her face. During breakfast she made a point of greeting each guest and seemed to know who was happy for a chat and who was happy with just a cheery 'good morning'.

We had a 3 day stay at the Harbour Hotel in Christchurch. We ate dinner there twice - once at ”The Upper Deck” and once at ”The Jetty”. Both meals were excellent: we had lovely tables, the food was great and the service made us feel special. The experience at breakfast was the same, with attentive service from all the staff and great food served on the open veranda. Although we were using the hotel as a base for our walks around the area, we also used the spa which was well maintained and had all the facilities you could want. We did have an issue with our assigned room which was not as ordered from Trip.com. Although the reception team reconfirmed they had allocated the room accurately based on what Trip.com had ordered for us, the Cherry the reception manager took it on herself to compensate us for the mismatch. From start to finish the service at The Harbour was outstanding. All the staff that served us in reception, the bar, the restaurants and the spa were helpful, efficient and friendly. Although our room was smaller than we'd ordered, it was well appointed and the bed was very comfortable. All in all, this was one of the nicest hotels we've stayed in, this in no small part due to the professionalism and caring attitude of the staff team. We will return !

Dean welcomed us even though our reservation had been erroneously made for a different date on Booking. He upgraded us to a larger room. Room one is located on the street side and though voices could be heard from the sidewalk and dining room below it did not affect our sleep. Dean explained the carpark payment (pay for time extending past 6 p.m. and it will be free for the night until 8 a.m.). We did have reservations for dinner on the correct date and had a superb dinner here. The beef brisket was tender and tasty, the plate fish too. The wine was excellent as was the dessert. My husband said the only complaint he had was he had nothing to complain about! Breakfast was cheerfully served by Honey. Great start to the day. Definitely would come back to Hewitt's if we come back to the Isle of Wight.

Well, the service at the hotel was excellent too. The hotel staff were always very friendly and helpful, they were always willing to answer my questions and provide useful advice. Also, the breakfast provided by the hotel was very delicious, varied and had different choices every day. The service at the restaurant is also very good, and the staff is always very thoughtful and welcoming. The only downside is that the hotel is slightly more expensive, but I think the price is still very reasonable given the location and quality of service of the hotel. In short, I really like this hotel and I would definitely choose to stay again if I travel to this city again.
