This was our 3rd visit and it didn’t disappoint. We were concerned about the recent reviews but this wasn’t our experience. The LP Alexandra room is well funky and came with a hot tub inside and outside. No issues with the room at all, things are old and quirky but that is the point. The food in the restaurant was great and could not be faulted and the sane goes for breakfast. Staff are a great laugh and engage you constantly. We will be back.

After reading the reviews, I was in two minds of cancelling. However i decided to go through was the booking. On arrival we checked in and was shown to our room (Lanson Suite). The Room was very clean and we had no complaints. This room is quite dark, but. Very intimate for the occasion. Hot tub was clean and was the highlight of our stay. Breakfast was ok and edible. We went to the Blue steak house for out evening meal which is a 15 minute drive away ( highly recommended). Will definitely be returning.

It's with great sadness I write this review as I emailed the hotel several occasions with no response I want to write this email to you. We stayed the night in the Vegas suite £440 a night . There were several points of disappointment throughout our stay. Considering the amount it cost for one night. Please see list of disappointments below. We did highlight this over the telephone later in the evening but we were told that there was nobody to help at this time as it was out of hours and this would be raised to morning staff. The dimming light control in the lounge did not work at all. Internet is terrible TV wouldn't work regarding channel changing etc and the Internet kept lagging which resulted in the TV program it was stuck on kept freezing. Spa had dead skin and hearing aid battery sticker in water Spa Bath took 45 mins to fill then took ten mins to turn on as the buttons wouldn't work just kept hearing a ticking in the bathroom it finally worked. Room on arrival had an overwhelming smell of damp Carpet soaking wet in the room. Dinner steak was bad was full of fat. Desert was not nice cheesecake the biscuit tasted stale so was not eaten What tipped it off the most was the Brown stains /marks on bed sheets on one side It was a huge disappointment to our stay when we paid a lot of money for the room When we walked in, we throught wow what a room but the smell was overwhelming and the other things really let it down Room looked beautiful but the things we discovered over shadowed our stay and experience. Staff were lovely fireworks were great just disappointed to have to write this email to you

Been here so many times and this time we stayed at the grand posset suite which I think is one of the newer rooms. I really liked this one it’s further away from the rest which is nice, lovely and clean and seems to have r newer features. The outdoor spa was temperamental in terms of the lights on it but other than that fine.

Visited for a one night stay with my partner for anniversary. Food was incredible and room service was very organised and prompt. The room (lanson black) was nice for one night - however it is slightly dated in places (chips on the wall, dusty, water stains on ceiling, marks on dressing gowns) and there was a slight damp smell throughout the room however it was still a lovely stay for one night but then again we paid the cheaper fee as it was a Sunday night. Not sure it is worth the Friday/Saturday night fee. FOOD WAS SO GOOD, cannot stress this enough!

I recently stayed at Who’d A Thought It and was thoroughly disappointed. Despite the hefty price of £470 for the room and £160 for dinner, the experience was far from luxurious. Both my partner and I fell ill a few hours after consuming oysters from the so-called ‘oyster and champagne bar,’ which was supposed to be a highlight of the stay. The room itself was in a state of disrepair, with the jacuzzi filthy and filled with grit, indicating a serious lack of proper cleaning and maintenance. For over £600, the experience was a rip-off. The entire place feels outdated, from the decor to the service, which was awkward and downright weird at times. The price suggests a high-end boutique stay, but in reality, it’s more of a dated, underwhelming experience that’s nowhere near worth the money. I’ve since called three times to resolve this issue and followed up with two emails, yet I have not received a single response from the establishment. This level of customer service—or lack thereof—only adds to the disappointment. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone, as there are far better, more reasonably priced options elsewhere.

pros: large sized room with beautiful indoor spa bath and outdoor hot tub, huge bed, food was good PM & AM, good coffee machine and bottle of champagne, nice make up area with straighteners and hairdryer. cons: decor is a bit on the tacky side so you don’t feel like you’re staying in luxury for the huge price tag, bar set up is odd with regulars and customers and very dark and dingey , WiFi terrible meaning the tv did not work at times, thin walls could hear next doors music, next door to renovation work so could hear that plus their music, water pressure was low in the morning, uncomfy leather chairs in the lounge which look very old, some lights didn’t work, no steam shower as described (was mentioned to reception) would have been nice to have a table and chairs in the room rather than a huge fabric stand. The room could have been beautiful if done nicer and maybe a nicer comfier sofa. I couldn’t help feel a bit ripped off when we left for the price we paid .. lesson learnt.

Very disappointing, visited for our anniversary, webpage said newly refurbished so presumed would be fresh but far from it. Let's start coffee machine broken, USB plug broken, hairdryer missing so straighteners in its place. Air-conditioning not working, I cleaned filter which was filth but still not working, found condenser buried in bush outside with absolutely no access to service. Thick dust on lighting, fridge and all over dried flowers in room. Wallpaper falling off everywhere. Bathroom with black grout, mould, silicone coming away everywhere. Damaged mirrors. Then to top off filthy bedding with red wine stains then mattress I have no words. Sent email to owner with no reply. This could be such a lovely place obviously they haven't taken things on board since being on the hotel inspector or 4 in a bed. Joe demands a high price for luxury but as customers we deserve the luxury. And that isn't what we got, I don't mind paying for quality but they should have basic standards.
