The Battleborough Grange Hotel & Restaurant - Brent Knoll, United Kingdom 

well, it was many a year since i stayed in this fine establishment but if my memory serves me well this was a superb getaway! Ok so it is not up there with the Brent Knoll lodge but it was greater than woodlands. The food was superb, the accomodation was superb, the management was superb, the location was superb, the hotel was superb, to sum up this hotel in one word - Great!

On arrival, It looked pleasent and the gardens and surrounding's were lovely. However on entering the hotel, it hit me on how basic the hotel is. The service is limited and no-one on reception. Service was pleasent and very helpful, however the whole building is in need of refub. Room was o.k but needs updating. Funny smell everywhere in the building.. smelt like sewage one moment and then air freshener the next. To be fair, the room had everything you needed and the room had the best bed ever (nice and firm) Breakfast was average and music in the dining hall would be advantage. Also checkout is a little early - 10am is a little unfair, if you just come back from a wedding etc. For the price we paid ( ?75) it was o.k, but I have paid less for better. Say hello to the cat's though...One has his tongue hanging out !
