Forfaits vacances – Mount Hawke

Un hôtel ancien bien entretenu, avec une vue magnifique et un personnel très sympathique. Le petit déjeuner est fabuleux et le restaurant où le pub ont des plats délicieux. Par contre de notre chambre nous entendions beaucoup trop les bruits de la rue et des déchargements pour la cuisine. Sans parler des bruits de pas du voisin du dessus, dû au sol ou à ce voyageur… ???

Amazing location and lovely and clean.

Such a unique and fascinating hotel to stay in. From the start you're already curious about what you would encounter during your stay and as soon as you walk in, the "jail" vibe just hits, but with it an air of pure luxury is felt throughout and every detail has been considered. The walls in your room are a mix of modern plaster but where they can, they've left the original exposed brickwork that the prisoners would have seen and felt when they were in there 200+ years ago. I believe most rooms are 3 original cells knocked through, creating a luxurious bedroom space with dressing table and then provides a beautiful en-suite which looks stunning. Underfloor heating makes the room feel welcoming and there is air conditioning in each room which again makes it feel homely rather than the cold cell it once was. The rooms all have a plaque which gives details of a prisoner who was homed in your room (cell). I did expect a little more exciting than a woman who spent 2 months in there for stealing milk, but they have to keep it low-key I suppose. The breakfast was delicious and for a Sunday, it was very busy but they handled it efficiently. I would recommend the restaurant although it is quite pricey. Sadly, no encounters during the night of anything other-worldly, but we absolutely loved our stay there and it has been a huge talking point with friends since we stayed. Would return for sure!

Rien n’allait ! Chambre salle, hôtel très bruyant, mal isolé, très chaud dans la chambre, pas de climatisation et literie inconfortable et vieillotte … Cet hôtel ne mérite pas ses 4 étoiles. Nous avons fais 5 autres autres hôtels 4 étoiles durant notre séjour en Angleterre qui étaient bien au dessus de cet hôtel.
