Do Not Stay Here

A hotel is meant to provide food. This one does not, no bar. The place was deserted. Got an email saying the kitchen had closed, permanently. There is some building works going on. Place desperately needs refurbishing and should be closed for that. Worst hotel I have ever stayed in on this website. Tatty notes with a number to ring on arrival. Place was deserted.

Being refurbished, no restaurant. No breakfast

Being refurbished, so no restaurant. We only found out when we checked in. We were directed to an external restaurant a few minutes away, but that place only opened early during the week. Room (no.7) was large and contained furniture from all eras; including a bedside lamp that was impossible to plug in! Bed was firm, but comfortable. En suite was showing the lack of decent maintenance.

Haven't stayed in this hotel for over 5 years, which at that time was looking a little run down. Pleasantly surprised that certain redecoration had been conducted in the meantime. Stayed this time in room 27 which is a family room and was enormous, although somewhat spartan ie no pictures on the wall, no clock alarm, telephone etc. Breakfast pretty good for the price. A large amount of the surrounding land has been sold off for residential development and the swimming pool/spa closed. Restaurant in the evening closed and with very little alternative choice locally.

Communication and condition needs attention

The property looks nice, though it needs updating. The roof was leaking during my stay in my room, I had to move furniture around and put a bin down to catch leak! I told them about this, though they did not seem fussed and were not interested to see how this affected my stay.

Have stayed in this hotel several times over the past say 20 years. This time I was in room 8. The receptionist upon arrival advised that the bathroom light continued to flicker, but was unable to identify the fault (I suspect it just needed a new bulb as a compact fluorescent light usually has a capacitor built into the bulb). In addition the TV did not work due to a lack of signal and no hair dryer. Breakfast was fine. However the whole hotel needs a complete refurbishment, notwithstanding that the ownership has generated funds from selling peripheral land for housing/nursing home and needs to reinvest.

The bed was comfortable and the room rate was cheap - the only positives in a very disappointing stay. This hotel is desperately in need of renovation. It's dilapidated and dated. The first room I was offered was very hot and smelled damp. The alternative was equally hot and the window only opened a few inches at the top so it was impossible to get any cool air in. There was dust everywhere including on the electric fan. The carpet hadn't been vacuumed. This is the first time I've ever posted a negative review!

Not the best...

Tired and a bit run down, not enough staff, nothing open bar etc. Battery smoke detector in the room had a flat battery so it beeped loudly every 30 seconds... took it off the wall and gave it to reception. Arrived at night car park was pitch black as it had no lighting, and we had to go looking for the breakfast room as there is no signage and no info given at check-in overall pretty poor as there are no facilities at all at this hotel only positive is it is very cheap guess you get what ypu pay for!!

Spam Hotel Was shut down and took our money!

The hotel was closed and i was left stranded then out of pocket. You sent emails on tuesday saying you were room only as the bar and restaurant was shut and then on wed. I arrived on friday for the two room for 2 nights and found the hotel completely shut and stripped out. You had windows fitted so whilst you sent an email tuesday your hotel must have been shut for a while. My friend and i had drove 4 jours and were stranded. Ther was no reception left and no one answering. We ended up having to pay for another hotel which cost us much more on top of what we had already paid for Risley Hall.

Most of hotel was shut for refurbishment -no bar -no breakfast -no restaurant -no other facilities other than room only -which was NOT what we paid for . Bathroom recently refurbished was excellent -but bedroom lacked central heating and no plug sockets for bedside light- main light fittings in bedroom damaged and mismatched bulbs. Wallpaper hanging off wall in bedroom. Only one member of staff in reception sometimes and she stated Expedia should have told us -Expedia did not know apparently. No member of staff on duty when we checked out either. Requested Expedia chase up and ask for refund /or partial refund .

Not a hotel - read the recent reviews! At best, a room to stay with no services, and under construction. We stayed several nights at the Risley while visiting family as it was a convenient location, and this is about all that was positive about the experience. A day before the reservation started, we got an email saying the hotel was under construction and there were no services - too late to cancel or rebook elsewhere. We arrived after 10 to an empty building with a sign to a phone number to call, which was not answered. After walking through creepy hallways of side buildings, we finally found someone and got checked in. The next morning, we were woken by construction workers directly across the hall - we were literally the ONLY guests on this property, and construction was literally ONLY going on outside our door. About two hours later, the staff knocked on our door to give payment, with no regards for "sorry about the noise." The next morning, we were woken by a screeching fire alarm. Again, no apologies or recognition from staff. After that, our expectations were quite low, and we were just happy to sleep. The property might be nice after renovations, but - in the interim - do not stay here if you are expecting a hotel.

Stay away

The pictures on the site look stunning, then you arrive. The hotel is going through a major refurbishment. Nothing about this mentioned on the site! Got to our room on the top floor, nice big room, thats really it. Windows were left open and the room was very cold, the heating didn't work, and the elctric heater left in the room didn't work either. One of the main lights in the room worked, the other didn't have a bulb in it I found out. One bedside lamp worked, the other didn't. The bedding was a summer weight duvet, winter one needed, no extra blankets found in the room. The pillows didn't have any filling in them with how thin they were. Paid for bed and breakfast. Got 2 emails from the hotel(see attached) explaining that the kitchen was under refurbishment and that only a continental breakfast would be available, happy with that. Wife went down in the morning to have the breakfast to be told there was no breakfast! Lovely old building, nice grounds for walking the dogs in. Just needs a lot doing to it before I would ever consider going near it again.

It might be nice when it is finished, but i wouldn't bank on it. Outdated, falling apart, bar/restaurant closed. Workmen all over the building. Breakfast was awful - at last minute told kitchen was closed so no hot food - despite menus on the table for cooked breakfasts. Continental breakfast was not fresh, cheese was sweaty and meat was curling up at the ends, yoghurt was warm, the only safe bet was a packet of coco pops - but then there was no bowls! Shame as building looks lovely on the outside and grounds have lots of potential, but especially for now, I would say steer clear to avoid disappointment.
