8/10 Very Good
Nov 17, 2024
Autumn stay
Fifth weekend stay here in 18 months. Now rebranded as Orange Grive Hotel. Preferred the former name of Coldeast Mansion. Same owner. New branding.
Paid for room on Hotels.com and got the best rate compared to other apps. I was asked to leave a credit card number and stated it was policy for charging items to room.
Bedroom was clean and fresh with windows open (November 2024). But a very squeaky bed. Comfortable but very noisy.
No aircon. Very small panel electric heater.
And old fashioned single glazed windows.
Third time allocated this suite which is lovely and third time I have had that suite. But dank bathroom smell. Toilet had faeces mark on base of pan from previous user. And bathroom sink was blocked l. I reported bathroom sink on a previous stay. And was disappointed tonsee no improvement.
Combined shower and bath. But anti slip stickers on bath are tired and lifting. So bathing felt like I was on sandpaper on my derierre. And shower temperature varied from Antarctic to volcanic with no happy medium. Perhaps new shower valve needed.
Overall beautiful building in lovely surroundings. I will definitely stay again as I love this hotel.
