세들레스콤 골프 호텔

We stayed one night in a queen sized room. The room itself was big. The room was in general clean - however there were a couple of niggles mainly with some of the cleaning regime: - the kettle still had water in it from the previous occupant - it should be emptied after every visitor leaves. - The kettle stand had coffee stains on it ( again this is a no no and indicates it’s not checked) - one of the complimentary shampoo bottles had been used albeit only a little bit but it shouldn’t be there - so I guess the cleaning team just didn’t pay close attention . The actual complimentary shampoos etc are good quality though. The furniture is shabby chic some pieces were more shabby (sorry) than chic - lots of coffee stains on the tops. That said the bed was comfortable and the area quiet. Checkin is in the club house as was very smooth and staff polite. We didn’t eat at the Club and had breakfast at the near by garden centre.

Decent accommodation, and a good breakfast. There were a few niggles but overall we slept well and breakfasted well. The location is very quiet and there is plenty of parking. The A21 is not far away so access is easy, but there is no road noise at the hotel. You sleep in an annexe with thin walls between rooms. Contact with the hotel beforehand had been rather combative. In particular it was hard work to establish that they don't do any meals after 17:00. I don't know whether is this is 7 days a week -- there are two contradictory statements about it on the *********** website as I write this, and I was given a third variation over the phone and a fourth by email. (We dined at the Claverton two miles away, which Sedlescombe don't recommend.) Breakfast was adequate and well presented, although some tinned grapefruit segments would have been a useful and affordable supplement -- there is only basic cereal and the hot breakfast and toast or croissants, and orange juice. When the boss has a day off you get two conflicting pop music channels blaring in the breakfast room, one from the admin area and a different one where the groundsmen are taking their breakfast adjacent. While the cat's away. To check in you go in through a door prominently marked NO ENTRY and you get to a notice stating "Hotel Check In Here". (We didn't know this and checked in at the wrong desk, having obeyed the No Entry sign.) We had a large bedroom, with two easy chairs but no writing table, so we ended up with our laptops on our, er, laps and the mouse on the arm of the chair. A small table and also a small fridge would have been welcome additions. Also there was no bottle of water in the room, but hey, there was tapwater in the tap. We bought survival supplies in Sainsbury's.
