We have just returned from staying at ‘The Globe’ in Wells. My partner booked this as a surprise for my birthday yesterday as we have always had such a great time in Wells but I have come back feeling thoroughly deflated and disappointed. We were met in the hotel yesterday by a cheerful young gentleman who started to check us in who was then rudely interrupted by another member of staff there who apparently is in charge of checking people in . From the moment the lady started checking us in we found her to be very rude and abrupt moaning that we hadn’t booked our 8 month old baby in even though there was a request for a cot which they were aware of and had added a £15 charge for a grubby travel cot. The lady then proceeded to grumble that we hadn’t booked the baby in for dinner also and made us feel that our baby was unwelcome in the establishment. The lady then proceeded to try and see if our room was ready but couldn’t get hold of house keeping so stormed across to the room to see if it was ready. When she returned she stated the room was ready other than the Prosecco not being in the room which my partner had organised as a surprise which she ruined. We were then taken across to our room (no.14) which is supposed to be a ‘Best’ room which at best I would describe as average. The bedroom is large as is the bathroom but both were disappointing. The curtains in the bedroom were filthy at the bottom, the head board was broken the springs were coming through the mattress and the floor felt gritty. In the bathroom the smaller hose on the shower did not work the tiles in the shower were dirty and there are all marks up the wall. The toiletries are all plastered with stickers stating do not take home and the shampoo nozzle was so blocked up you couldn’t get any shampoo out of it. We had dinner in the pub last night and that was enjoyable and the staff who were working were very pleasant and attentive which was lovely after such a rude greeting. We then proceeded to go back to our room for what turned out to be a very broken nights sleep. You can hear everything going on in every room around you from people walking around, noise from tvs ,water running and dogs barking there just didn’t seem to be adequate insulation the prevent all the sounds from travelling. Then to top it off when waking up this morning my partner and I both had several bites on our body which we believe may be from fleas after dogs being in the room.
