The Malthouse Project

2.5/5 Stars Our stay here was a bit of a mixed bag. Upon arrival, we joked that we'd somehow entered the Twilight Zone – the vibe was more "motel" than "hotel." The staff were friendly enough, which was a definite plus. Our room was clean, for the most part, but we did notice that the spare pillows had some noticeable stains. Not a deal-breaker, but a bit disappointing. The real issue, though, was the overall atmosphere of the place. It felt deserted, like we were the only guests. The decor was straight out of a classic Western film – think tumbleweeds rolling down the sidewalk at any moment. While it had a certain quirky charm, it didn't exactly scream "luxury" or "modern amenities." If you're looking for a no-frills place to rest your head, this might be okay. However, if you're after a more hotel-like experience, you might want to look elsewhere. Perhaps a bit of renovation and some added amenities could elevate this place from motel vibes to something more impressive. For now, it's an average stop poor stay

I loved the grounds the location the decor in this hotel it was beautiful however , the staff were awful no one served myself and my friend on the terrrave for over two hours to the point I got up and went and got the drinks both times myself ! At dinner they didn’t take our plates away we were sat for over an hour with our plates on the table service was poor and basic training needed or more staff so that the day shift staff can rotate as the staff work from day to night then breakfast clearly overworked . Then comes the worse part we didn’t sleep and my other half has extra heat exhaustion because the rooms are not air conned and it was a hot weekend to the point where we had to wet towels on our bodies throughout the night the walls were warm and the tiles in the bathroom hot from how warm it was we told reception who were well aware of how hot it was yet no water was sent to the room or any compensation offered she had told us that she couldn’t do anything about it as the hotel was fully booked and that there was no more fans either ! We overheard a couple at reception say they were leaving to stay in a travel lodge because the environment was inhumane !! Secondly our friends we went with were pregnant it was for my other half’s 30tj birthday we had to cancel the spa the next day as we couldn’t think of anything worse then sitting in heat again and we left before lunch it ruined our stay and for that we would never stay there again it was unbearable

With the exception of expensive taxi/Uber to get to/from airport around the corner - the hotel is absolutely perfect. Staff also 10/10 and noise from aircraft taking off is not too bad.
