Cold Ashby Holidays from £124

I spent a night at the Brandon Hall Hotel, travelling for business. Pulling up to the hotel, the grounds look nice and the bar/reception area looks inviting. The staff at the reception was lovely, really friendly and welcoming. However, the night was a disaster. First, there was a constant hum in my room - it sounded as if the fan in the bathroom was on at all times. I could not close the door to the bathroom either (you can lock it from inside only). So I spent the night tossing in turning, but that wasn't even the worst. As I was tossing, something scratched my thigh - I started digging in the bed and to my horror, I found a human nail clipping. It was disgusting and honestly, I just gave up on sleep at that point. Not great considering I travelled for business, and had a long journey back after the work day. In the morning, I pulled the sheets off the bed as I always do to help housekeeping. The mattress was completely yellowed with zero protection, only thin bed sheet on top. The duvet had a variety of bodily fluid stains on it. I have complained about it at the reception, even showed a photo of the said nail. I didn't push for any compensation, as I was hoping that the hotel would get back to me directly to resolve the situation, but it appears they are not hence my negative review. I certainly will not be staying there ever again.

Too noisy but centrally located

Flight stop… nothing else but value for the money

Hotel is dated and had an awful smell. Definitely not 4 star! We were in a room on the third floor disturbed all night with a party in the hotel hall!!
