"An excellent bed & breakfast; superbly located near the town's biggest attractions. The room was bright and modern with a great bed and super-plush towels.

Everyone I dealt with at the property was friendly and very helpful; they are truly focused on providing an excellent experience for all their guests."

Sandman Signature Sheffield Quays Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"everything was great...Literally everything."

Ringwood Hall Hotel & Spa, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic experience at Ringwood Hall Hotel & Spa! The spa was absolutely wonderful and made for a really relaxing and enjoyable visit. The grounds are stunning. A special mention has to go to all the staff, who were brilliant throughout. Even when things were busy, everyone remained friendly, helpful and professional. It was lovely to see how well the team worked together, making sure everyone felt welcome and looked after. A credit to the hotel and a real reflection of the fantastic team they have. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would definitely recommend it. We look forward to returning!"

mour Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is in a nice location, away from noise or the main town. It is clean and welcoming. We loved the aesthetics of the bathroom and the bedroom. The lighting is not the best but nice if you want a cozy vibe. The only down side was the gym with outdated equipment which have not been properly maintained. It is a mini mini gym, very minimal in terms of gym machines and no heating. We informed the receptionist about it and he then realised that the thermostat was broken and could not be fixed. There was no water dispenser, not sanitiser or wipes. It was freezing cold and we were unable to stay as the temperature felt in the minus degrees."

WILDES INNS

8/10 Good

"Here’s a more polished and balanced version that maintains your disappointment while acknowledging the staff’s prompt response: Writing I have stayed at this hotel several times in the past, but on this occasion I was very disappointed for a number of reasons. In particular, the standard of cleanliness in the room was far below what I would have expected. However, when I brought this to the attention of reception, they acted immediately to address the issue, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, this experience, along with other concerns, has left me feeling reluctant to return to the hotel. I appreciate that things can sometimes go wrong, and I am willing to remain open-minded and give the hotel another chance in the future. However, I hope that greater attention will be paid to maintaining the standards that returning guests have come to expect."

Jonas Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is a very fuss free place to stay with very comfy beds. I got a free cuppa and pastry in the morning which was a nice touch. Parking is limited but street parking is in abundance. The only issue for me was the influx of banging doors in the early hours of the morning when people were coming in from their nights out. The doors are not soft closing, it's echoey, so the noise is the only downside of staying here. There should be signs on the doors about respect and noise control/reduction."
