Quaint and in a charming location with established gardens, some updating and attention to small details, such as keeping up with replacing essential light bulbs, would improve the experience at Thackray House. The bar and lounges are comfortable and welcoming.

Cracking Anniversary treat

As always a delightful stay. So welcoming and friendly - and the braw lounges and lovely gardens - mean the buildings and surrounds are as good as the staff. Only issue was the plug hole in our bath wasn't very secure and the bath water disappeared - just when I wanted a jacuzzi in the bath!!!

Wonderful Weekend

We had an excellènt overnight stay, everything was very clean and comfortable. Staff were lovely, very helpful, friendly and polite. Breakfast was very good. We couldn't eat in the restaurant as chef was away but the Potting Shed Bistro a very short walk within the grounds the food was excellent surpassed our expectation.

2/10 Poor

This was a very poorly maintained property for which we have been charged an exorbitant price. The room was very dated and shabby, unclean and dirty. the tap came off in my hand when pouring a bath. The pillows were lumpy and the bed uncomfortable. The floorboards creek very loudly which makes for a noisy nighttime as you can hear other people moving around. There was also loud music coming from somewhere in the hotel which started at 4 am and lasted until around 8 am - we're not sure where it was coming from, perhaps the bar downstairs which was closed at the time - it sounded like elevator music on a loop - awful. We had little sleep and were very happy to leave. We paid almost £300 for one night here and it was most certainly not worth it. Would avoid it in future and highly recommend anyone reading this review does the same. The staff are very pleasant though and completely understand that the property has been seriously neglected which is unfortunate for them as they have to deal with the customer complaints. Amanda in the Bothy restaurant was particularly lovely and the food and service there were great. Breakfast was fine too. We had booked a superior room - I dread to think what a standard room would be like.

Beautiful but some issues...

Roman Kamp is a lovely property with lots of walking paths. It has lovely rooms that are great for family gatherings. The breakfast was good. Our room, which was one of their smaller rooms, though did have a problem with the shower. I tried to take a shower in the small shower. The temperature ranged from hot to scalding hot. We notified the management, but he said there was no one to look at it that day, he would come down when he could. I ended up having to take a sponge bath at the sink. After a day of international travel, not being able to take a shower was unacceptable. I had to meet with family with grungy hair. When we returned to our room, there was evidence that a repair had been attempted as there were wet towels and dirt that had been left in our shower. However, the shower was not fixed. The management did make it up to us by switching our room to a suite which had a bath and a shower. Outside the room was a picture of the Beatles, and their autographs saying they had stayed at the hotel in 1964. I would not have seen this if my room had not been switched. The suite although large seemed like it had a bunch of mismatched old furniture in it. Made me feel like I was staying in someone's attic or basement. I would stay here again, as the property as a whole is very beautiful.
