Ideal location for visiting local motorhome show.
Room was separate to the Inn which meant we were not affected by the music being played. Room was a lovely size with a comfortable double bed, side tables and wardrobe. A desk with a couple of drawers with tea/coffee making items and two bottles of water was also in the room. The shower was large with good water pressure and lovely temperature control. Toiletries were provided in the form of small bottles of shampoo, shower gel etc. electrical heaters were provided but were not needed during our stay.
Ate food in the Inn. The first night service was slow as table booked for seven but wasn’t asked what we wanted until quarter past eight! It wasn’t that busy that night but that was the only negative. The food was delicious and the breakfasts were exceptional. All the staff were very friendly and we would definitely stay again if we were in that area again. (Sorry tried to add pics but they wouldn’t upload)
Was a lovely stay, room is an old converted cottage, big and comfortable beds and wonderfully clean bathroom. The staff were friendly, chatty and helpful in every way. 10/10 will recommend anyone to stay here and hopefully will beck again one day.
We stayed here because it had a pool and we enjoy a swim and breakfast was part of the deal.
Even though we forgot to mention mobility issues the staff changed our room without an issue. The hotel was cool and so was the room, and that was without using the air conditioning.
There is no lift so bear that in mind.
The breakfast had a good mix of cooked English and you can have your eggs cooked as you want them. I asked for a decaf flat white and one was made for me. A bigger mug too, the usual ones are a bit small.
There is fruit, plain yogurt, ham and cheese slices and olives so something for everyone.
The staff are friendly and helpful and went to get more pastries for us when they had run out.
If a coach tour is in then make sure you don't arrive too late, as a lot will be gone. The food wasn't greasy and we enjoyed the variety.
We used the pool and there are men's and women's changing but no disabled facilities or family changing areas. Be aware of that although there is one larger changing room most of the space and showers are open. You will need a pound coin if you want to lock your locker, but we mainly swan in the morning and there were only one or two others in the pool.
It's a spa pool so not too deep. There is a gym room too, but I didn't use that. The usual work out equipment was on display. You can also book spa treatments but those are extra. Pool and gym free to guests.
We would gave tried an evening meal but there was a hotel power cut and so we left early.
We would definitely use this hotel again, we slept well and the bed is comfy with usb charging sockets and proper reading lights near the bed. The bistro-like round table and two chairs were much appreciated.
Parking us £5 a day, which us cheaper than some hotels. There is also a hairdryer and iron in the room and the TV has modern with Freeview channels available.
The bar area has comfortable seating and was showing the matches as well as the news in the morning. No subtitles though, which would have helped.
As I said the only criticism was that our sink was cracked, and didn't hold water well and there is a bath shower, rather than a walk in shower unit.
The lodge is a great location if you are going to the racecourse. We arrived at around 1:30 as the first race was at 2:30 and was told that if we wanted to check in early we would have to pay a fee of £20. When the races often start at around 2-2:30 this seemed unreasonable. I had to come out of he racecourse between races to check
In. I’ve stayed at the Lingfield racecourse hotel and they checked us in 12:30 as our room was ready. Went for breakfast at around 7:50 and there was no menus out, the staff seemed totally disorganised. There was no instructions on how to order food. The continental “help yourself” was ok but had very little fruit options. They did have alpro soya and oat milk as milk alternatives. The room was clean and tidy but very basic. It did have a free standing fan which was good in the warm weather. The bad was big and comfortable. The shower was nice and had shower gel. The customer service let it down a little.
