Great staff, great food. If you are looking for nostalgia then the room we had provided this with Formica panels in the very small en-suite complete with broken fixtures and a good deal of mold on the ceiling. The shower provides for good water saving as the flow was just sufficient to rinse off the soap. The bed was soft enough to enable the springs to make their presence be known and the bedroom ceiling has a large water leak stain. Took me back to the 70’s. ##### Robert Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 26 Aug 2025 #### Ok, if no where else to stay It was basic accommodation ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Ross 18 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Whilst the staff were lovely, as was the food, the hotel needs a little bit of TLC.

On return we realised the DVD player was not working. When the girls wanted to bath I noticed hair and dirt all up the wall by the bath so had to try in clean it down with antibacterial wipes. Then I thought I paid £100 for room that has definitely not been properly cleaned. When reporting to the desk about the dvd she said someone will look at it in the morning. So would not recommend this family room to anyone with high standards of cleanliness or active children ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### John, Kent 6 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Near to the Moor and Beaches A very good breakfast and cheerful staff.

The only thing that really spoiled our stay was the fact that there was no air conditioning in the room, just a desk fan, and because the room is ground floor we couldn't leave the window open for fear of someone climbing in. So I had to stay up into the small hours with the window open to let the day's heat out of the room. None of us got a proper night's sleep unfortunately. Only other thing I would say is that the family room could definitely do with a bit of sprucing up as it looks quite scuffed, stained roof tiles etc. Location wise for our needs, couldn't fault it. ##### Andy Stayed 1 night in Jul 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Deborah 4 Jun 2018 Liked: Staff & service #### Needs a little TLC A very dated hotel room......not impressed with the bed - very uncomfortable but clean.....the bathroom was especially dated but clean...I would have the chair removed and cleaned - stains over it.The window lock in my room was broken so wouldn't lock - I only mention this because my room overlooked a flat roof and some of the other room windows were next to mine. On the plus side... On the plus side.... the food was delicious and the service was very good by all the staff. ##### Deborah Stayed 1 night in May 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Kathy 29 May 2018 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Tired but friendly. The staff at the Sportsmans are very friendly, polite and helpful and are not to be faulted. Very nice cooked breakfast and, although we didn't have it, the carvery on Sunday looked/smelled good! However, the accommodation has long since passed it's best and some very easily/cheaply remedied problems in the rooms have sadly been overlooked which makes it seem rather unloved. It is ok for the price but we all agreed we'd happily pay a chunk more for an updated room. ##### Kathy Stayed 3 nights in May 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Crafted at Powdermills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Battle-Hotels-Powdermills-Country-House-Hotel.h195688.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Canterbury](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canterbury-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Canterbury.h66541221.Hotel-Information) > > [Wild Rose Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Appleby-In-Westmorland-Hotels-Wild-Rose-Caravan-Park.h24459296.Hotel-Information) > > [Lock Keeper, Worksop by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worksop-Hotels-Lock-Keeper.h27479298.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stables Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Stables-Whitby.h23322490.Hotel-Information) > > [Samsara Retreat and Yoga - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maidstone-Hotels-Samsara-Retreat-And-Yoga.h41349775.Hotel-Information) > > [Cromer Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cromer-Hotels-Cromer-Country-Club.h1927781.Hotel-Information) > > [The Skipton Hotel - Formerly Hotel Rendezvous](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skipton-Hotels-Hotel-Rendezvous.h41466.Hotel-Information) > > [Bear Lodge - At Port Lympne Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Bear-Lodge-Aspinall-Foundation.h40101484.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinewood Camping Pods - At Port Lympne Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Pinewood-Apinall-Foundation.h40101599.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature Sheffield Quays Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sheffield-Hotels-The-Quays-Hotel-Sheffield.h46197620.Hotel-Information) > > [Skegness The Royal Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel-Skegness.h23931999.Hotel-Information) > > [Soar Mill Cove Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Soar-Mill-Cove-Hotel.h2042032.Hotel-Information) > > [Seven Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Southend-On-Sea-Hotels-Seven-Hotel.h19282555.Hotel-Information) > > [Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa - an Iconic Luxury Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-Milton-Hotels-Chewton-Glen-Hotel-Spa.h528432.Hotel-Information) > > [OYO Shanklin Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shanklin-Hotels-OYO-Shanklin-Beach-Hotel.h7539838.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton London Elstree](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Borehamwood-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-London-Elstree.h18549.Hotel-Information) > > [Exeter Rougemont hotel by Sunday](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exeter-Hotels-Exeter-Rougemont-Hotel-By-Sunday.h7784.Hotel-Information) > > [Crow Wood Hotel & Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burnley-Hotels-Crowwood-Hotel-Spa-Resort.h38222710.Hotel-Information) > > [The Swan Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wells-Hotels-The-Swan-Hotel.h26791.Hotel-Information) > > [The Aviator, formerly Smugglers Cove, Clacton On Sea by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clacton-On-Sea-Hotels-Smugglers-Cove-By-Marstons-Inns.h35853904.Hotel-Information) > > [Yeoldon House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bideford-Hotels-Yeoldon-House.h2764122.Hotel-Information) > > [Brock Cottage private Hot Tub DOG/Cat FRIENDLY\* with on site fishing](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pickering-Hotels-Spacious-Stone-Cottage-DOG-FRIENDLY.h36805890.Hotel-Information) > > [Chimney House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sandbach-Hotels-Chimney-House-Hotel.h527768.Hotel-Information) > > [Mermaid, Ipswich by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ipswich-Hotels-Mermaid.h31883430.Hotel-Information) > > [Donnington Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sevenoaks-Hotels-Donnington-Manor-Hotel.h865829.Hotel-Information) > > [voco Leicester by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leicester-Hotels-Voco-Leicester.h76596043.Hotel-Information) > > [Canterbury Bell, Margate by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Broadstairs-Hotels-Canterbury-Bell.h33103125.Hotel-Information) > > [Wild Thyme & Honey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-Wild-Thyme-Honey.h9241983.Hotel-Information) ---
