Still a good place to stay

We have just come back from a 2 night stay at lincombe hall and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The dining room staff were spot on as were the reception staff. I agree with some posts that the hotel does need some maintenance doing,but the odd rough edge here and there can add to the charm as long as you dont get your knickers in a twist and concentrate on enjoying yourself rather than moaning. My only moan was I could have done with a couple of more days.

We have stayed at lincombe hall several times in the past but not been there for a few years... We could not believe what has happened to the facilities of the hotel in such a short time. Upon arrival, the tennis courts looked shabby and these only had just been re-done last time we stayed. We had paid the top rate for the gold star rooms and found the twin room, to smell bad of dogs and dampness. The children refused to use their bathroom and ended up using ours, which looked very tired but after it was cleaned by us using our own cleaning products we had bought, it was then usable. The chairs outside on the patio only had three legs and where used to be bedding plants, we found were full of weeds and cigarette ends. Basically the whole area needed updating and cleaning. They advertise the indoor pool on the web site as NEW, but has been there for many years and found it to be totally unacceptable standards for something which should be new and clean. Litter was scattered everywere...... Read more

Awful

What can I say - this is the worst hotel we have ever stayed in. We arrived to find that the room we had booked had been flooded and no one had bothered to inform us. We were moved to another room, which had dampness in the corner and the furniture was scratched and shabby. The children were expected to sleep on camp beds. I was informed that most people would find this exceptable (not me). We didn't even spend one night there. We found an alternative accommodation at another hotel with a sea view room, which was clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I would advise anyone to think very carefully about spending time in this hotel.

Spent a week at the Lincombe Hall Hotel with two children. Food improved as the week progressed and the dining room staff were very pleasant. Our room had seen better days, like 1929. In need of a general overhaul as is the hotel, the exterior is desperate for some maintenance and the tennis court requires weeding!! Lack of imaginative evening entertainment, pool table requires leveling (not seen spirit level since 1929). Having said all of that, the pool and gardens were very relaxing, but maintanance is an ONGOING concern and should be carried out.

Beware

This hotel came recommended to us by my parents, who had stayed there happily on two occasions - but boy were we in for a shock! Whereas their room had been in the main hotel building, our room was situated in the 'wing.' It was a most unpleasantly situated room, on the ground floor overlooking the car park. Outside the bathroom window, which had been almost impossible to open, were boxes of rubbish, bags of dog excrement, and empty aerosol cans ( guess what had been going on there). Inside the room two of the beds were broken, there was a large dead spider on the floor to greet us on entering. In general it needed a good vacuum, the dust was plentiful and the bathroom was nothing short of a disgrace. We could overlook the fact that it was about 20 years past it's use by date, but the mold, damp and general house keeping left a lot to be desired. Our youngest daughter's camp bed had not been made up with bed clothes, so we had to go and ask, but all that the receptionist found was...... Read more
