This not the first time we have stayed…
This not the first time we have stayed at one of this company's hotels. ( the Manor House the last time.) That visit was a struggle, but nevertheless we decided that that was a one-off. WE meet with friends every November in the Cotswolds, and this year it was at the Hare& Hounds, close to the Arboretum. Our friends were in the main house, whilst my wife and I were in a block of four rooms, close to the old house. The room was fine, clean, comfortable and warm. However, our main problem was based in food & beverage. Breakfast, we all had cooked, was served on cold plates and by the time they were delivered to our table, the food was, at best, cool. Some were returned. Dinner produced exactly the same problem, cold plates, therefore cold food. Coffees tended to be cups half full, and luke
warm. I will not go into the debate we had over the bill for the 2 nights, but the assistant manager said the tariff was set by head office. I wrote to HO and lodged a complaint. My letter dated 2nd December was copied to Messrs Emery, Smith and Turner, and addressed to Rachel Spencer, was never even acknowledged. Never again will we be staying at any of the hotels within this group.
