Liked: Amenities
Bedding clean however walls had stains on , the shower was terrible it had limescale lumps popping out and parts of the blasting shower head falling off leaving bits in the tray. Very very low water pressure, several of the fire alarm standby lights not working making me question the system alertness. The corridor in the changing rooms has a huge electrical panel which due to the heat of the pool/spa was pouring with water and was very corroded. The stay wasn’t unpleasant but I would not be returning

The hotel was okay for the money. The room was nice enough and staff polite and friendly. The spa was very rundown with tiles missing from the bottom of the pool so potentially dangerous. It was also overcrowded and my treatments were cancelled at the last minute due to lack of staff. Overall not a very relaxing spa experience. I definitely wouldn't recommend the spa

Overpriced stay, old accommodation with serious reservations needs. Pool was clean and it was only positive thing about the stay. Breakfast was over priced with horrible quality. They charge you 5 star rates for 2 star service. We had three rooms there paid 120 for each and 30 extra for breakfast which was only bread and butter and lowes quality English breakfast.

With an ecclectic, grandeur interior and period hunting lodge exterior, the Belstead Brook hotel is truly one of a kind and thats why we love it. The very clean comfortable rooms and friendly staff makes our stays all the more enjoyable.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The plus side: Plenty of parking (car park extends around the building so deceptively large) Friendly and obliging staff Nice decor - Christmas decs were up, it looked very pretty Good breakfast choice Single bed was almost a double The bad side: Clunky, outdated equipment in gym Changing rooms not great, dingy and a bit run down Spa wasn't as impressive as the photos suggest Noisy plumbing. Next door ran their shower (I think) and there was a loud groaning noise in my room - at 6am! No chain on the door The very worst thing was the APPALLING smell in the bathroom. I noticed it on arrival but it wasn't that strong. When I got back from the spa and gym it was much worse, in the morning it was really disgusting - a mix of sewage and rotten onions! I couldn't bear to be in there for more than a minute, so I couldn't have more than a quick wash and hastily clean my teeth, dashing back into the room when it got too much. It was so bad I actually felt sick when I had to use the loo. I hadn't been able to book any treatments so planned on doing a face pack and hair mask in my room and brought some products with me for this, but because I couldn't use the bathroom this wasn't possible. I couldn't even shower in the morning, it was so bad. Luckily I only live 30 mins away. I was hoping this would be my new 'haven of peace' once a month or so but I won't be back. I reported it to the staff when I checked out. They apologised but didn't offer any refund, just said they'd report it.
