Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Seems like they are short on staff. Staff that were there were friendly. Breakfast was good. Room had all basic needs but no bedside lights.
Very tired rooms, mattress was pretty bad, smallest TV I've had in a hotel. All draft lagers were off. (no gas!!) Wonder if they are struggling to survive. On the plus side, breakfast and staff were very good.

Where are all the guests?
I've stayed at the Eight Acres many times over the years and it has always been a busy and vibrant hotel, but this time it was virtually deserted. Given the absence of guests there were fewer staff on duty. The staff were polite and helpful, but the whole place felt empty. Neither the gym nor the pool was available during my stay.
Staff were excellent in the sense that they found me another room.
Fact is that the place is dated, unfit for purpose and nothing like the images.
Walls were so thin that I could hear every word of next doors conversation as if they were talking to me from the next room.
It’s obviously been decorated but it’s the equivalent to putting lipstick on a pig.
Never again

Very disappointed I booked the room because of the pool & spa to be told on arrival that it was closed
To be honest it felt like demolition was not far away, the whole place was in poor condition, we had two rooms with no hot water and one shower that did not work at all. It was very expensive for what it was- the bar did not even have any beer - do not stay here
Our stay was amazing. Lovely staff, everyone smiling and friendly. The room was very spacious and clean and in good condition. Breakfast was cooked to order. We stayed with our dog and she loved it too
This review is fairly irrelevant as it closed for good a few days after we left. I felt sorry for the staff as they were given very little notice. The bar and restaurant were closed during my stay but they did honour the breakfasts that we booked
We stayed here with our son who’s 1 year old. In the morning at breakfast we asked for a high chair. One high chair was already being used so they went to get another and nobody appeared back. We asked again and still no high chair. Before we left we asked at reception why nobody came back to us to be told they didn’t have anymore high chairs. This is a large family hotel and could only provide one high chair for the whole place which is shocking. Everything else at the hotel was perfect untill this service and lack of communication and honesty about only having one high chair.
Just necessary overnight stay. All i want is, a great nights sleep, great food, clean hotel, with attentive friendly staff. A hotel i will use again if in the area. A winner on all accounts.
