De Vere Venues Branksome  

Great secluded setting and a lovely quiet location to get away from it all. Our room was warm and cosy on the cold evening. Understandably this is more geared towards businesses and weddings but we had a lovely break and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The location is near to the village but because of the hill and busy road access we needed to get a taxi to go into the village for the evening. The building is a little misleading with a medieval frontage but a 70's mix of a boat themed interior and conference centre. The decor could do with an update, it's a shame that the exterior setting is not reflected in the interior. The rooms are well presented but again the bathroom is looking tired.

We stayed for two nights and were more than satisfied , The staff were very efficient and helpfull the first night we were in room 123 and at 7am were woken by the dust cart and then several delivery vehicles . I asked at reception to be moved and we were given room114 this was much quieter . The staff were more than happy to help. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Our first room was situated directly above the delivery access ramp and was therefore very noisey first thing in the morning we were given a different room next day ..

Only stayed for a short while. The staff are friendly and helprful. Breakfast great. Will stay here on a regular basis.

The walk in the rain with baggage from the carpark.

We stayed for a wedding nearby and we were allowed the check in early which was great. Breakfast was also very good.

The main bedroom was nice and looked recently redecorated however the bathroom was not up to the same standard and really needed some updating,it looked a bit grotty.

Fair for the price in the area. Stayed 1 night for a wedding at the Ramster so did not use any facilities. . Strange ship/cabin type layout of rooms. Not too bad overall.

Decor a little tired. Rusty toilet brush holder. Looks better on website.

Ideal overnight stopover. Staff were young, friendly and highly motivated. Room a little tired and in need of an update

The staff were very help as I was alone they helped with my bags on arrival. The food was lovely on at times. However I have booked again and cannot have a double room as only single left :(

Going home :(

Excellent breakfast. Comfortable, but could not control temperature without opening window.

The environment, the building, helpful and friendly staff. At a good price

.I left a comment with reception concerning the building maintenance. This is a very nice old house. It deserves to be maintained well. I noticed that some of the external woodwork has been neglected and is rotting. Please give it the attention it needs.

Breakfast was exceptional

Double bed was small, sloping ceilings especially in the bathroom. Bathroom tiles around the shower were broken and mouldy

The staff were very helpful and well presented. The breakfast was very good.

The room we were allocated was very small, not at all like the one in the photographs, the walls were marked and we did not use the shower because it was very small and a bit grubby. I thought the grand photograph of the front of the hotel hid the actual jumble of different buildings and was quite misleading.

A very ordinairy hotel, i wouldn't want to stay for more than a couple of nights, then only if i was visiting the area.

Good location and good value a limited restaurant menu but the food was very good.

The bathroom was not as clean as it should have been
