Hotels Near Carr Wood in Ripley

One of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. Room was a little dated but clean and quiet.

Lovely location, (pretty village) lovely grounds and impressive entrance. However, we weren’t in the main hotel. The room was large but old fashioned. The roof sloped at the sides which we banged our heads on several times. The window was small which made it stuffy and it was very dark, no main light in the bedroom only lamps. Bed was king size and comfortable. The room and bathroom was clean. We used the restaurant once for dinner and we had 2 breakfasts and the food was nice and reasonable priced. Breakfast was self service (as ours was included) with a good and plentiful variety. The staff were friendly and helpful but professional. We didn’t use the pool in the end as it meant going outside and back inside, as our room was not connected to a covered route to the pool. Nothing really to complain about but we did expect the room to be a bit more luxurious. Slightly overpriced for the room. I expect the price was based on the available amenities.

I'm not sure where to start. I booked a spa experience with a back massage for a treat to myself. On arrival the owner of the spa was moaning about all her customers moaning at her, wich I thought a bit unprofessional. Then was shown into the spa area. With 2 broken sunbeds in a yard area with a jacuzzi that didn't work and a steam room that was cold, the sauna was working but not too clean. I asked somebody about the pool outside and he said him and his freinds had been to look but it was a bit green so I didn't bother. Its all a bit of a faulty towers experience. Nobody knows what's happening and nothing works. It feels a little grubby too. The massage was mediocre at best and I just couldn't wait to get out. Definitely not worth the money or the time.

We stayed in the promonarde rooms two adults and two children. You would never thought we was staying in a shipping container very quiet, very clean even the edges of the carpet was hoovers smelt lovely when we walked into the room. Compact be great fun in our room was shower , small tv, hairdryer, tea and cover . 10metre along was another room that contained toaster, microwave, full sink with washing up liquid kitchen . Just up the steps was hotel reception and entertainment room for children did activities at night like kids disco, games room free football table, and Lego table . Above reception is a restaurant though we didn’t eat in there looked nice. We went to the local pub called the fishpond great food and bands on at the weekend. We had two nights first day went round the Gulliver’s park second day we went to heights of Abraham . This place is great for kids we did look at the other rooms but found you got more outdoor space on the promonarde room ie could sit and watch the kids play. There is also a bus you can sleep on that looked great fun too .

Worst hotel I have ever stayed at in my lifetime The good points are very limited but here they are: Friendly staff Plenty of parking at rear of the building Comfortable beds Very good quality towels Can open the window in the room Room clean and tidy And here are the bad points: Very dated Stained and tread bearing carpets on stairs Poor lighting Bath - shower curtain very dirty needs replacing and water is too hot when it comes out - be aware Not a lot clothes hangers On main road Unable to get soya milk for my room. They will bring the milk for breakfast was the answer I got and no decaf coffee in the room (I did bring some decaf coffee myself which I had to use at breakfast too as it was not available) No sound proofing to the room People on the corridor floor when I returned to my room as the children were sleeping in the room and they were not ready for bed. Never experienced this at any hotel I have stayed at before No toiletries supplied Half rolls of toilet paper No bath mat - had to use one of the hand towels Very noisy fan in the bathroom Let’s start on the breakfast which is served from 8am to 10am only Poor breakfast won’t change anything like the eggs even if you have dietary restrictions No decaf coffee at the breakfast room did get the soya milk Some of the fruit passed it best date High sugar cereals No yoghurt Poor choices for breakfast Croissants very dry and not warm at all The main restaurant on your right when you enter the building is bright and modern, it’s a shame that the rest of the building is not like that This hotel is worse than the hotel in the tv show Faulty Towers if remember that show Would I return to this place? NEVER

It was really outrageous. There was no explanation on the Ctrip hotel introduction. When we took a taxi to the hotel at night and checked in, we were told that the room we booked was not at the hotel address. After checking in, we had to drive 5 minutes away, and our taxi had already left. There was no front desk and no room service at the place where we were going to check in. We had to ask the hotel to call a car for us and pay extra to check in. It was dark and blind before we found the place. We asked the driver to use the car lights. There were several two-story buildings in front of us. We didn’t know which building it was. We tried to open the door with the key. It was like a scene from a horror movie. I turned on the lights in the living room on the first floor and the study. I was almost scared to retreat. Then I went to the second floor and couldn’t find the lights. I pushed open a door with a key inserted. There was someone inside. I screamed in fear! After confirming that it was other guests of the hotel, I felt relieved. Otherwise, I would never dare to stay in such a dark building with my children! Ctrip, did you know this was the case? Is it true that whatever the agent says is the truth? Such a place is not suitable to be sold to Chinese customers who do not drive themselves. You didn't even explain it in a word. I will argue with you after I return home!

I really wish I'd paid attention to the negative reviews of this hotel before I booked. I paid £153 for a single night of misery here, when it seems other nights are about £35-40 -- but even at that cheaper price, I'd still avoid it like a plague. The hotel has no parking, and on-street parking was non-existent. The corridors on our floor reeked of smoke, with a hint of ********* smoke. On first glance, our room was fine. Decent size, big windows etc. However, closer inspection revealed: - red stains on the wall, that looked like some sort of jam but who knows. - brown stains on the wall, I shudder to think what these were - the tap on the kitchen sink was not securely attached to the sink and came off when i tried to use it - the shower cubicle smelled of raw sewage - the bathroom needed a deep clean, lots of (what looked like) pubic hair on the floor, and general 'shower gunge' build up - there was about 20% of a full toilet roll available, with no others provided - the bed was presentable, but had long black hairs inside and under the sheet - the sheet was way too small, and uncovered the mattress during use - the walls in the room were paper-thin Additionally, and I can't really blame the hotel for this, next door is a student bar that was very loud most of the night, but nothing compared to the people in the room next to ours that played very loud music until 1am. Not the relaxing night before a 13.1 mile run we wanted!
