“Great Weekend Away!”

Bancourt Hotel

25 Jan 2008

A large group of us arrived on our annual Pub outing from Bristol on a Friday afternoon.

On arrival, we were welcomed into the entertainment room for tea/coffee, where the Hotel facilities were explained along with the new silly rule from the local authority that the swimming pool can only be used if there are two people present! While we were in there, all the bags were unloaded from the coach.

The meals, both breakfast and evening dinner were well presented and not at all bad for the price. Nice quick service in the restaurant helped matters along.

Entertainment, as was the case the previous year was OK, but it was unfortunate that the Friday act was the same one we saw last year on the Saturday evening. Having said that, the Saturday act was even better.

As part of our weekend, the bar was free to out party between 8:00 – 11:00pm. This was OK, but the range of “free” drinks was limited. Full price therefore after 11:00pm.

The bonus Saturday night was a Northern Soul/Motown Disco in the basement bar. Maybe not to everyone’s taste, but there again I’m biased. GREAT!!

Being within a 30 minute walk to the town centre, this is a nice place to stay.

We found this hotel very friendly with all staff more than happy to help at all times. The level of service and food was very good indeed. The Family room was spacious and the children were catered for very well. Evening entertainment was great.

Cant really fault anything about this hotel... excellent place to stay!

Seemed nice on arrival but was then subjected to a 30 min lecture on the hotels rules ( was like being in school ) The working staff of the hotel were very friendly and helpful but the management seemed not be very unapproachable with the numerous problems we had with our room .For a family run Hotel the family were that that friendly . They seemed to degrade there staff ( this is through something i heard myself so it is not hearsay )It must of made the young man seem very bkg and important . I would not recommend this hotel unless you just want somewhere to sleep for the night and dont mind how you treated .

“completely unacceptable for families”

Bancourt Hotel

9 Jan 2007
3/6 found this review helpful

this hotel was terrible. We arrived and our rooms were not ready. They did not seem to care that we had small children. A maintenance man came to move a bed during the week!! This happened , and then a cleaner was sent in to hoover up, whilst we were in the room. This was a special time for my family , and unfortunately, was spoit by this hotel and its bad management. Reception was lacking in customer services, and the whole thing was a shower.

I would like to tell other families of this experience.

Management Response
bancourt, owner
(Management representative)
12 Feb 2008
We are sorry you feel you have had an unhappy stay at The Bancourt.. We do tell all our guests that the rooms will not be ready before 2pm, if they are then you would have been more than welcome to use the room early. If there was a problem and any kind of mess in the room we would obviously clean this especially with young children in,
