“Depends what you want?”

Reviewed 12 May 2013

Basically you get what you pay for. Rooms are clean but very old fashioned, quite small and slightly tatty, There are a few that have been updated but not many. On the plus side the food is really nice, plenty of hot water for showers/baths and the staff are very friendly and very helpful. Great location for walkers with easy... More

“Really good value.”

Reviewed 22 April 2013

Misunderstanding about car parking on arrival gave very poor first impression. I half expected to meet Basil Fawlty!! Others have said how sad the building and garden are, especially if you see the photos taken in the 1920's when the place was in its prime. Our room (18) though, was fine, with comfortable beds and good ensuite facilities. We were... More

“It's all been said ... but I'll say it again!”

Reviewed 21 April 2013

I read the Trip Advisor reviews for Valley Of Rocks before going to stay there - and I had some doubts about my visit there. The worst first. I agree that the fabric of the hotel could do with a makeover; it has a tendency towards being dark and 'dingey' in the reception and lounge areas. My single room (no.... More

“Faded grandeur - very poor maintenance”

Reviewed 13 April 2013

I have to agree with other reviews that this hotel needs a huge amount of money spending on it to bring it up to an adequate standard. Positives- the waiting staff were friendly and efficient. Our waitress, Hari, always had a smile and was highly efficient - top marks. Food was good enough considering the price of the break. Towels... More

Crisp, white cotton bedding, controllable heating and gallons of hot water day and night. Excellent food and evening entertainment (appreciated even by young teenager who was made to feel welcome and included). But... More

Went with friends for the Easter break. My room was warm but had no more than 15" to squeeze through at the foot of the bed,which would have been very difficult for the more mature guest.The decor was tired but our friends room was O K. The rest of the hotel was shabby with an unpleasant musky smell in the... More
