Portinscale Holidays

It was okay but the room I stayed in was tight by the roadside. The noise filtered into the room at all hours of the day and night.

The hotel is nice. The hotel pub is the same. And the staff is polite. The coffee machine DID NOT WORK in the room. You couldn’t even put the mug (from the hotel room not my personal one) to pour coffee in it because it is too big. In the room there are no sockets. I wanted to charge my laptop and other devices, I didn’t have where. There are two “sockets” on one side and the other of the bed STRICTLY for phone cables. Meaning you insert the cable directly. That’s it. In the end I discovered the socket from the coffee machine and I dried my hair there with the hairdryer scattering the hair that was falling all over the mugs and kettle etc. At check out I was asked if everything is ok and I mentioned about the coffee machine and sockets. I was told that there are sockets in the room. I asked where? She said behind the television. I said thank you, I am not going to start moving the desk in the hotel room and the television to discover a possible socket hidden behind the television. People don’t go to a hotel to unplug the coffee machine, the kettle and the television. So that they can dry their hair or charge the phone laptop etc. All these should already be connected and additional sockets, not to unplug something from the socket so that I can use something else. For those who doubt that what I wrote would be true, or a possible reply from the hotel in which it will be said how it wouldn’t be as I wrote here, I inform you that I have videos from the hotel room.

Breakfast was good and staff very friendly and helpful

Lovely hotel for a few days while at a wedding. Clean and spacious room with effective shower. Coincided with the Chester Folk Festival in the village, so evenings were really lively. As we were with friends in the village, we didn't have a main meal at the pub / hotel, but my daughter's snack was excellent. The menu had plenty of choices. Only disappointment was that cooked breakfasts were not available, but a good selection of light food was provided. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. Excellent bar with four draft beers.
