Sheldon's has received some awful - and in my opinion - unnecessarily hostile reviews. Yet also some fine and outstanding endorsements. How can this be explained? I will try. I think some context is probably required. The present owner explained to us that he bought this property - outhouses, land, cottage - with the intention of creating a Luxury Spa... More

on arrival at the cafe, we were told that the old menu was finished, and they hadn't done a new one yet (strange way to run an eatery)- but the hostess said she could make us some food if we wanted. Unfortunately she seemed to be under the misapprehension that we knew the contents of her fridge, which made ordering... More

The definition of luxury is not a cold room, chipped walls,doors not painted,phones not working, Internet not working, hearing staff complain about guests, cheap bed linen, scruffy gardens , generally dirty, thin walls so you can hear people snoring, warm tea from an urn, no fresh coffee, baby bell cheese and so much more. This is not luxury and not... More

I booked this accomodation as it looked lovely on the website. It was a one night break, a treat for my partners birthday. Upon arrival we were shown to our luxury room complete with cracked windowsill tiles and mould by a very grumpy hostess who complained of being overworked and how she couldn't wait to get a day off.

On entering the property we took our life in our hands getting up the extremely steep and narrow flight of stairs (by narrow I mean you had to walk down sideways as the stairs were not wide enough to walk normally). There is no way this property can be described as luxurious by any stretch of the imagination. The so-called... More

Dear Susan, We are extremely sorry to hear you felt like this and decided not even to stay one night with us, however we obviously respect your choice and take some of your critsism on board. We would however like to point out that the experience of " luxury" is a very subjective experience which many of our customers luckily... More
