The Wood Norton

Great sized room in the courtyard complex. Nice to have access to a twin room and bath. Very comfortable beds and all the services you would expect from a hotel. Didn’t use the restaurant or bar so cannot comment on food and service but reception staff very friendly.

Could have done with better car parking signage.

The views

Not much lighting in the rooms and unable to charge phones next to the bed or anywhere other than the desk. Only had very small cans of water in the room and coffee machine was not replenished after use

The rooms are very nice, and where I was it was also very quiet, which I appreciated. The bar was very convivial too. All of the staff were very pleasant, efficient and friendly. Unfortunately I wasn't there long enough to really make use of all the facilities...perhaps on my next visit !

My only problem was that the room I had was in a separate building from the main hotel, and from that room it was quite a trek up a very steep hill to get to the carpark. Luckily I didn't have much to carry myself, but my colleague had quite a bit of gear, and even dropping this off at the main reception and walking up from there wasn't easy. Someone showed us a short cut across the grass to the carpark but this would only be feasible if the grass was as dry as it was when we visited...and when we got to the top of the hill a water pipe was leaking, and had turned the area around it into a bog which we struggled to get around ! None of this is the fault of the hotel, but I think the distance of some of the rooms from reception needs to be made more clearly known when booking, as elderly or disabled people would have trouble getting up the hill to accommodation buildings.

It is a beautiful Location

No lift Difficulty to find room and carry luggage, no smart tv .
