The Royal & Fortescue

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was excellent from check in to check out. Staff were friendly and efficient. Nothing was a bother to them. Breakfast was worth getting up for. Delicious and plentiful. Room was more than expected. Clean and well equipped. Great stay, superb value for the price. Recommended."

Kentisbury Grange

10/10 Excellent

"The room was spacious, very clean and the bathroom was lovely and clean couldn’t fault anything. We ate at the restaurant the meals were lovely and a good choice to choose from. The only thing that was not 5/5 was the breakfast I had a cappuccino from the machine which was luke warm and there was no conserves for the toast or croissants, I had the smashed avocado and poached eggs on a muffin which was ok the eggs were cooked perfect the hollandaise was lacking seasoning. But would definitely stay again because the place was stunning and the views were to die for."
