"Yes, very good overall."

"If you're looking for a small-town English hotel experience, the GMH delivers. It captures "old world" charm, though it comes with unique quirks to be prepared for. We stayed in the massive “Hideaway” suite with 3 bedrooms and a living room. It was clean and the bed was comfortable, but it does show its age in "charming" ways. For example, there was a bit of sagging plaster on the ceiling and a hole behind a bookcase. The bathroom was large with modern fixtures and a great shower. The breakfast was a highlight. It’s served in a lovely room and included, allowing you to order a fresh breakfast off a menu. Jeremy, the manager, is very much a "character." He is very knowledgeable about the area and provided excellent local suggestions. He is clearly proud of his country and community. However, be prepared for a very dry, sometimes sharp English wit. As Americans, we had a few interactions that felt a bit "salty", including some unsolicited lessons on "proper" cutlery etiquette and comments about Americans in general. While some might find his sarcasm a bit jarring, we took it as part of the eccentric local experience. If you go in with a sense of humor and don't take the "instruction" personal, he adds a certain color to the stay that you won't find at a corporate chain. The on-site parking is a plus, and the location is excellent. If you enjoy a hotel with a strong personality, you’ll love it here. Just be ready for a bit of "education" on your table manners!"

"After check in, we went to our room (140) which had a double bed in one room and 2 sofa beds in the adjoining room, lots of space for everyone! One of the sofa beds wasn’t made up so I asked reception for help. They quickly came along with bedding and we went for a swim before dinner. Dinner was served in the bar as there were too few guests to use the restaurant. The food was standard hotel price and quality, it filled a hole but wouldn’t be a reason to return. We returned to our room and despite being a bit too hot, we all slept well. We woke in the morning and fitted in another swim before breakfast. Someone had registered for breakfast under our room number - a non resident and his kids freeloading. My daughter began itching her arm but I thought nothing of it. Over the course of the next couple of hours she was itchy all over and when I looked she had red itchy spots all over both arms, her shoulders and back. I emailed the hotel to let them know so they could check the room/sofa bed and bedding but they haven’t replied. We were due to return on our way back home but have managed to cancel this. We are now out of pocket for antihistamine, creams and washing our clothing at 60 degrees but we learnt an important lesson. I have stayed in many hotels and never thought to check for such things. I don’t think I’ll ever sleep anywhere again without a mattress inspection. "

"All very nice "
