This was a 5 day 4 night coach trip at very reasonable prices. (3 hour free bar every night! and with branded drinks, unlike some other all inclusive deals we have had) The coach journey was very good, the driver was helpful and friendly. The downside of the journey was the 1 hour and 20 minute wait at the Normanton... More

Coach: as good as it gets. Comfortable, and smoothly driven. Accommodation: A lack of hot water for one day is unlucky; for two days is negligent; for three days is unforgivable. Even days four and five were sporadic. "It's getting there" was the only update available. Normal service would have earned an extra mark. Bedrooms were wholly adequate. Dated, but... More

Just got back from our second Shearings All Inclusive break at this hotel, The food was lovely, and the entertainment was great, we met some lovely people, we had a great time. Tony the barman was extremely friendly, and the resturant staff were nice, although a little bit overworked. We stayed in room 5 it was very small but lovely... More

We stayed at the Carlton because they had a sign outside advertising superior rooms with larger beds with other extras. We were given room 117 which had a 4ft 6in bed, horrible pillows, lumpy duvet and not very good bedding. A toilet that was overflowing from the cistern like Niagara Falls, a basin with the plug not working, and a... More

I’m sorry you felt that the room allocated did not meet your satisfaction, I would like to comment that no room in my hotel is awful, the reason for me asking yourself if you would like to move rooms was because the toilet was at the time unrepairable and the whole toilet would need removing in order to fix it....

having stayed in 4 Bay Hotels, in various parts of the country, I have to say that Bay Carlton is by far the best. The rooms and corridors upstairs are a bit old fashioned but they are very clean and very comfortable. Downstairs is lovely. The food was good with a wide choice and even a glass of wine with...
