Arnold Vacation Packages

For the positives, the room was clean, bed comfortable, and the location convenient with plenty of parking. But this is very basic, with not even a bottle of water provided. The shower was coming away from the wall and no mirror in the bathroom. There was no-one there, all automated with codes sent via text. And if you book with hotels.com, they haven't sent across the phone number to the hotel so there is no text message and you have to call when arriving! High risk that no-one could answer, so I was a little panicked when I arrived! Would I stay again? Maybe, but only if it was just sleeping and I'd contact them in advance with my phone number.

We stayed 2 nights with our dog during a tour of the Rutland area and further afield. We were really impressed by the hotel - great location, friendly and helpful staff, lovely walks locally, well maintained facilities, lots of spaces for chilling out, lovely food and welcoming of our dog in all locations. We had a lovely stay and this hotel is high on our list for a return, perhaps without our dog so we can use the spa facilities! The only slight negatives were that the room looked a little tired (we understand that there's a major refurb on the way) but it was perfectly fine and perhaps now is the time to get a good price before the refurb! And, a small gripe, the lovely breakfast was spoiled by having to make our own toast using two toasters that couldn't brown both sides of the bread at the same time (I spend many minutes standing around with others trying to get a decent slice to go with my eggs) - a minor but irritating annoyance. But overall a fantastic stay, thank you.
