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 been tightened to the sink, and the wall sockets could have been tighter to the wall. The funiture was showing its age, but the bed was comfortable, and the linen/towels were clean.

We had a fire alarm at 5 in the morning (false alarm that happens 4 times a year, or so he said). Upon reaching the main door (which we unlocked with our key as there was no bar to push) it was raining, so we waited for the other guests and staff before herding towards the muster point. 15 minutes later there were 6 guests and NO STAFF. It took my wife calling the number on the reception desk to wake someone in the house next to us and to come across and investigate. There are no overnight staff on site when we stayed.

Finding the place. Take your Sat-Nav and someone that can read a map. Very badly sign posted from the main road, and at the entrance

“Awful!!!”

3/3 found this review helpful

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 and was not able to be replaced. The hot tap came off in my hand! The lounge was being used for a wedding party so all there was to do was eat and go back to the room. All in all a very horrible experience, how someone would feel if they booked their wedding night there I can't imagine. They did refund us £50 for the inconvenience but that hardly made up for it!

“Satisfied customers”

Gissing Hall Hotel

7 Nov 2006

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.

0/1 found this review helpful

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 nicer than a generic hotel where all the rooms are the same - we found the beds comfy and bathrooms modern.
they have been refurbishing and there is still some going on - but it is not in any intrusive.
i'd recommend this hotel if you want a place which has a personal feel to it and character.

“Truly disgusting?”

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 without our being given a chance to look at the label,and the food was dreadful. Next morning, no hot water, to which I was told 'this is what happens when there are too many people in the hotel' !!! Really truly awful, and I agree with the last reviewer, they are charging double the amount they should. No apology has yet been received for the appalling stay we had there.
