Hotels near Brandon Wood Golf Course, Brandon

The castle hotel where Elizabeth I spent his childhood is really beautiful, the environment is beautiful, and the medieval castle hotel itself is classic and beautiful, it is worth visiting. Service is good, breakfast is good, as long as it is not a weekend, the price is super high, it is definitely worth a stay |

Upon arrival I had major reservations about what I had booked. The photos on the booking site were nothing like what I was seeing. The car park was nealry rubble and the surrounding grounds were poorly kept. Reception was quite grand in appearance but that's the only good point this hotel has going for it. For the size of the place there is hardly any staff. The room I had booked wasn't available now so given another. Waking down the hallway I could see the carpet littered in stains, absolutely filthy Room was very dated and the furniture was a collection of random bits, our coffee table was missing a leg and was proped up by a chair. Some old 5 pin plug sockets by the beds for the lamps. Bar area was also tired in appearance although staff were very friendly. The whole place needs a major overhaul.

Stayed for a couple of days whilst we visited local historical sites. Room was excellent as was the pool and general facilities. Was surprised the bar evening menu is the same as the main restaurant - seems little point in not availing oneself of the restaurant since it is much nicer and costs nothing more! Many thanks to the bar staff (who sang happy birthday) and Rieann and Ionda in the restaurant for their friendly service.

I needed somewhere to stay overnight for a business trip, and this venue looked a decent place to stay. On arrival, the staff were welcoming, and the pub looked to be a nice venue. It was disappointing not to have parking, not a massive issue as there was a car park a short walk away. The stairwell leading from the pub to the accommodation, however, left a lot to be desired and left me fearing for what I had let myself in for. It was somewhat reminiscent of a cross-between a 1980s office block and RIgsby's accommodation. Thankfully, the room was an improvement with plenty of space, and the usual tea and coffee facilities. There were, however, some significant issues which would stop me from returning: When I tried to have a bath, I realised after running the water for long enough to fill, that it was almost empty. On checking, the plug sat proud, meaning water was emptying almost as fast as it was filling. The most concerning part was only discovered late in the evening. I had been out for the evening, returning around 11 pm. When I returned, I found the pub to be closed and my key would not fit the lock. Thankfully I could hear someone inside, who eventually heard me banging on the door and window. Heaven knows how I would have got in had I arrived back any later! If there was another way to get in, I wasn't informed when I checked in. I also didn't expect to have to be back by a curfew - I haven't had one of those since childhood! Shortly after I got back, another guest asked if I knew how to get back out again - I don't know if he managed it in the end.

Because of the bank holiday, the hotel's supplies could not be delivered in time, so the room could not provide slippers. The room was ok, as expected, and the breakfast was a standard English breakfast. There are no restaurants around, it is recommended to book dinner at the hotel.

We stayed here as our car broke down on the way to our holiday. We were travelling with young children and a disabled person. The staff at this hotel couldn’t have been more helpful. The service was beyond outstanding. The children were upset and disappointed and they were fantastic with them. They really couldn’t do enough to help. Kasey was especially lovely. A credit to your company. The next time we are in the area we will absolutely stay here again! I should also note that the hotel was lovely and clean and we had plenty of space in our family room. The shower was great. Breakfast was a good selection and hot and delicious. The bar was open until 1am which was particularly useful for us given the circumstances! 🙈😂
