For the price the rooms were good. Despite a little damp on the wall (not unexpected in a house of it's age) the room had lots of character although a little spooky (again, not unexpected). Decent shower/bathroom, TV and tea/coffee making facilites. The bar and restaurant however appear very odd as they are not at all inkeeping with the rest... more

This is a tale of 2 halves. The staff and the service they gave was excellant. Always helpful, made the meals enjoyable and showed interest in where we'd been and how our day was. The down side....The rooms have 'characture'. This is an old house and there are creaking stairs and funny shaped rooms. But the sink taps could have... more

Stayed in the wedding suite for 1 night in February 2007. The room we stayed in was not the one pictured on the website and was the only suite so goodness knows where they got the picture from. The jacuzzi emitted black slime even after the 3rd time of getting it going. The remote control on the tv didn't work... more

We had a 3 night stay and were more than satisfied with our room which overlooked the garden and had an extremely comfortable bed, and a new shower suite. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the food was excellent. We intend to return for another break in the spring. more

we loved Gissing Hall - it is a unique hotel with a comfortable feel and good food and staff friendly. The food is homemade - and reasonably priced. the staff were very helpful and the hotel is a lovely place to stay as its in the countryside - no noise! Our bedrooms were all differently decorated which was so much... more

Fawlty Towers doesnt even come near. A lounge that was straight out of an old folks home, dirty sills with dead bluebottles in bedroom and bathroom, uncooked bread served at dinner. This last item led me to make my first ever complaint in a restaurant, but I was just llooked at blankly by the young waitress. Incorrect wine was poured... more

If you do one thing for me this year - then avoid this hotel like the plague. It is yet another example of the typical UK Fawlty Towers. The rooms are old and in desperate need of decoration, the service is terrible, the food is like cardboard, the grounds like a building site and when we went to reception to... more

We stayed a night at Gissing Hall in March this year. We found the room to be well decorated, clean and with lovely view over front garden. bed was comfy and bathroom modern and clean. food was excellent- all homemade and staff very friendly - whole hotel has a very personal feel to it- the opposite to generic chain hotels.... more

This was my second visit to Gissing Hall, my previous visit having been in Summer. The hotel is not the easiest place to find, my satnav took me backwards and forwards to Diss by several different routes - still, this forms part of the charm for me! If you want to spend £90 for a nondescript shoebox in one of... more
