There were renovations going on in the hotel that we weren’t informed about when we made the booking — the restaurant was thus closed and it was noisy. The aircon in our room didn’t work, the hot and cold water taps of the bath was switched and the giant chess set has three pieces missing! Utterly disappointed in our stay.
We had a wonderful warm welcome and a huge smile from Belinda who was on reception. Belinda managed to check us in to our rooms a little earlier, which was very much appreciated.
Everything was excellent, wonderful location, brilliant bedding, great service. Only issue was there was a leak in my room with a dripping tap or aircon that kept me awake most of the night. I reported it the next morning and staff said “sorry, we will het it fixed”. I only stayed one night so didn’t benefit from that.
Had a lovely stay at the Lord Charles. Beds were very comfortable. Rooms cleaned everyday with fresh towels provided. Lovely pool area and the staff were polite and helpful. Pool area is very relaxing. Very quiet as well. Would stay here again!
The property is beautiful and set in large grounds. The tennis courts are in excellent condition. The pool is lovely and has a great sitting area next to the pool. The pool isn’t heated so we found it too cold to swim. However, there were people using the pool. The breakfast is very nice. The rooms are large and comfortable. Our room just had a large shower and no bath. The shower was large and the water pressure was very good. I can recommend staying here.

The room was extremely comfortable and newly updated. The view was beautiful, the garden a joy to look at, but most of all, the staff! Oh my goodness, such warmth and friendliness I have not encountered in a long time. The breakfast was outstanding and it was fantastic during bad weather that lunch and dinner were options in the in-house restaurants.
