Satis House Hotel

I booked this based on the overall reviews and I now wish I’d spent longer reading past the first couple. This must once have been a lovely hotel but sadly it has been neglected. The “welcome” was to a dark hallway crammed with various artefacts and the person on the desk was not at all friendly. To be honest they should close as clearly their hearts are not in it any more. The room was ok but not clean - it needed a damn good dust and hoover. The bathroom was also dirty and the shower was more like a drizzle. Thankfully it was only one night, we slept pretty well and were comfortable. Won’t be back though.

What a fab stay at this lovely venue. We were made to feel so welcome by the lovely friendly staff. Most comfortable room with a balcony overlooking the grounds. Home cooked evening meal was 10/10 - the spat bol was significantly better than that served at a top London Italian restaurant last week. Thanks for looking after us - we look forward to a return visit in the not too distant future.

Very disappointed nothing like the photos. They must have been taken a long while ago. It took ages for someone to appear who's appearance looked scruffy. We were shown are room which cobwebs and dust everywhere. The glass in the bathroom wasn't clean still had dried toothpaste still in it. The toilet had brown marks around the rim. The dust on the fan stand was so thick we wrote 'clean me ' in it.

Definitely mixed opinions about this place: Positives - large spacious room Huge comfortable bed Fantastic full English breakfast cooked to perfection which accommodated my dietary requirements (but see below) Friendly staff when they appeared Negatives - No-one on reception when we arrived and waited ages before someone drove up Decor felt somewhat outdated and very cluttered Stuffed animals in the hallways No restaurant dining available Shower very low pressure and grubby marks on side of bath Had to order breakfast the night before Overall this place could be so much better with a little investment and attention to detail. Breakfast was a real highlight but my expectations were low given the rundown impression of the place.

Amazing building beautiful room it was so lovely to learn the history which you can read about in the beautiful book in your rooom.... seeing the ancient ice cave was very interesting and the staff are so lovely it's like coming home. Just lovely thank you all xx

We were the only people at this very interesting small hotel. We came for a night just to get away. The first thing to notice is the, quite frankly, bizarre artefacts throughout the inside. From a stuffed lynx outside our room to blackamoors holding lights up in the restaurants, with all manner of oddities - painted deer heads, half stuffed pheasants and strange portraits in between. We had a lovely room, which quickly got warm when the heating was put on. Four poster comfortable bed, and a lovely big bathroom with plenty of hot water and towels. Sarah looked after us and served our evening meal, which was lovely. She was happy to chat and told us some history and information about the village We slept well and had breakfast, which was fine, cooked and served by someone different, before we left. We did try to check out with a person, but unfortunately, despite ringing the bell several times, no-one came so we left a note and went! It's an amazing place. Really quite spooky - I would have loved to have had a proper look round and felt some its history properly. I'm a bit nosy so looked up who the actual owners are. Sadly, I was not impressed with what I found out about one of the owners and their legal battle with people over the years. It may account for why it was deemed ok to have some rather offensive statues in some public areas. However, for a night or two away, this is a lovely quirky place. Maybe get rid of some ornaments and redecorate a bit more tastefully though!

So cold and uncomfortable we did not stay the night. £10 for a rum and coke in an uncomfortable and foisty hotel. The owner offered to knock our bar bill from 59.50 to 40 but we ended up paying 59.50 and 120 for a room and everywhere was so cold we left and drove home. What was meant to be a treat night totally ruined. I Can see why we were the only customers to be honest. Shame used to love it here but has turned into a really strange place with a horrible feeling to it and so so cold everywhere with odd decorations. Left feeling rather ripped off.

My husband booked for our wedding anniversary, sadly the standard of the hotel has gone far down hill from our last visit. We had one of the garden pods, which was not very clean, in need of some repairs, and smelt fusty. We were unable to have an evening meal at the hotel as they didn’t have a chef. The noise from the 31 dogs on site made sitting outside quite uncomfortable, and the garden table and chairs were extremely dirty. The owners seem to have lost all interest in a hotel that used to be a fantastic place to stay.

The hotel was extremely hard to find. We arrived after finally finding hotel and was met with a dark reception filled with dusty brass animals. Our room was a garden De lux room. This was very dusty and full of grass, we asked and were told due to doors being open. Beds clean, decor was flamingo wall paper with Marilyn Monroe pictures, coffee machine not emptied. However reakfSt was cooked well and the smoked salmon very good. We asked for clea n towels and was told They do not change them every day, but clean ones did arrive there only appeared to be one member of staff plus chef. She was overworked a d could not keep up with clean ing.we ft overpriced at nearly £600 for 3 people and a z bed for 3rd person
