Just OK
Felt like going back in time. Decor is very dated. Very much in need of a refurb. Cleanliness and general room condition was ok, but would have expected a bit more for the price paid. Our room also had a slanted roof and wasn’t very big anyway but this made it feel much smaller. Also didn’t think that the £1.50 charge for towels to use the pool was really necessary or justified within the price we paid.

Parsonage hotel
We stayed for my birthday on a two night stay on arrival we were given a cottage apartment away from the hotel which we hadn’t booked so after complaining we’re given a room in the annexe which was clean and comfortable the receptionist on arrival was not helpful at all with very limited information about the hotel
The hotel needs a refurbishment and some of the staff were not friendly at all ( but not all)

Hotel needs updating
Staff looked sick of their life. Room was cold and radiator control broken so couldn’t turn it up . Waited on hold for 10 minutes to contact receptionist. Room was dated and tired. Hairdryer was faulted smelled of burning and screeching. Reported on check out. Spa was nice. Fat Abbot restaurant on site only served Sunday roast menu on Sunday so had to eat at Thai restaurant next door which was lovely.

The room was located directly over the Friar Tuck pub. After consulting with reception regarding noise in the evening, I Was told music ends at 9pm. So no need to swap rooms. This wasn’t the case whatsoever as it finished as expected around 11.15pm. Reception wasn’t interested when informed!

Reception staff need customer service training!
The customer service at check in/check out was so poor I can only liken it to going through border control except even then I would receive eye contact from the guards! One of our party travelled separately and had exactly the same experience so sadly not a one off. This gave us a terrible first and last impression which is sad as not reflective of the rest of the staff we encountered during our stay who were all friendly, polite and efficient.
Our room was spacious with comfy bed, the decor was a little tired and as per other reviews the bathroom had smashed floor tiles and clumsy repairs but the shower was hot and powerful.
Breakfast was great and we liked the buffet style.
The spa and pool was an added bonus and the main reason I booked this hotel along with the convenient location.
