Gillingham accommodation from NZ$133

My wife and I were visiting her brother and family in Wells, the location of this hotel for Wells, Glastonbury, Avebury and Stonehenge was fantastic...close to all of them. The room was same set up as Travelodge/Premier Inn but MUCH more space in the room, more room around the beds etc. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great, good choice and good value for money. We would highly recommend and will probably stay here again next time we go. Just a few things that could have made it better.....1: the weather was hot when we were there, each bed had a light duvet which was a bit too warm for me and there was no single cotton sheet as an alternative that would have been better for me. 2: The bath is VERY slippy when wet, there is no rubber bath mat in the room but you can ask for one...good idea to ask for one in reception when you arrive. 3: the curtains were not very good at keeping sunlight out....blackout curtains/blinds would have been better.

Stayed in a Spa Suite, which was disappointing. Came with a Jacuzzi, Plunge & Sauna, which were all in a rear Courtyard. The rear Courtyard was covered in bird poo, so walking to either the Jacuzzi, Plunge or Sauna was like playing Twister! Outside seating cushions were either damp, mouldy or covered in bird poo! It’s clear that external housekeeping is lacking as are any form of spot checks by management. Cobwebs & leaves galore too! Some furniture needs renewing such as the Egg Seat in the rear Courtyard, which was very rusty & staining the patio. The actual Spa was very good as were the Spa Treatments. The atmosphere, food & vibe of the Hotel was excellent; frustratingly our mains were missed & we had to wait over an hour though! Overall, it didn’t meet our expectations, but so easily could’ve if managed a little differently i.e with attention to detail. Could be an absolute gem…

Lovely older hotel!
