Chale Holidays

Lovely country hotel with a quiet and cosy vibe. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. We got a small upgrade on our room which was nice. The room was clean and well proportioned. The room had all necessary amenities. I liked the little touches like the small fresh milk in the fridge. We had dinner in the main restaurant which offered a nice variety or choice. We opted for 3 courses for £40 and all dishes were very nice. You could have 2 courses for £35. There is also the option to eat in the lounge bar which offered more lunchtime options and dinner choices. The wine list was slightly alarming but the staff offered good advice. We also had breakfast in the morning which was a small buffet offering yogurt, dried fruit, continental meats, croissants and fresh fruit and then the option to order a hot meal from the menu. We had a full English and a banana waffle. Overall excellent value, clean and spacious rooms, tasty food and atmospheric surroundings, all made for a pleasant trip.

Just a few things. Receptionist was pretty rude. No hello. No acknowledgment. When I used to come back I said hello and was ignored. My wife said the same thing on separate occasions. Room itself was a good size and had everything. Only issue was a very weird smell. Not sure what it was but was very strong. Also there was pee in the toilet already even though the apartment was cleaned. I wouldn't stay here again but it is a good room for someone on a budget who likes to cook themselves etc.
