Comfortable and friendly

Great location. Feels rural - my friend saw a kingfisher! - but is right next to a useful small retail park and very reachable by road. Everything except the bath plug worked. Cosy. Nice staff. Excellent breakfast. For the night that we booked, it was good value, though it often costs more.

Reunion weekend

It was the venue for our 60 year reunion of when we all met at teacher training college in Barry in 1965. The duty manager (?) could not have done more for us and made our reunion dinner an event to remember. We all enjoyed our meals and loved being able (and encouraged) to sing the songs from our college days. Thank you so much

Super service!

Stayed overnight for my wife’s College Reunion. Lovely, spacious room (407) with good facilities, including very comfortable, king-sized bed and great, over-bath shower. All the staff were attentive and efficient, providing friendly but not overly-familiar service. ‘Sir’ and ‘Madam’ used, rather than the ‘Mate’ which seems prevalent in some establishments. Delicious, buffet breakfast!

Thank you for your booking which was made as above.   Upon being allocated the room, we had a quiet night. The following morning upon looking at the bedlinen we realised that there were faecal marks on the bed linen which we had used. These faecal marks were well caked on the linen showing that this was from previous usage. The Hotel staff was immediately informed and they seemed unperturbed by this. We then ripped all the bedlinen ourselves and asked for fresh bedlinen. As Hotel Team was immediately informed of the situation they agreed as to what had been observed. As a Hotel guest my expectation of a 4 star hotel is at least to provide clean bedding which was clearly failed by Copthorne Hotel. This is an unacceptable manner of providing a service as this breeds disease moreover to children. I would like to bring to your attention that faeces do pose high risks of allergy reactions and resapiratory and skin infections. Bearing in mind the above the room was not immediately thoroughly cleaned No room exchange was offered which brought about anxiety and restlessness during the stay. My understanding is that it is the responsibility of the Hotel to provide clean bed linen as well as environment. As we had come from London we were unable to check out we were forced to stay in such an environment with children. However photos of the faecal marks were taken and can be provided as and when required.

Good location and convenient!

Great location and convenient, however they could have better food options. Also the food was overpriced. The prices need to be cheaper! Not worth it.

Over all we enjoyed our stay, however on Saturday 9th August prior to leaving ny husband and i sat chatting with my sister. At this time there was the most unsavoury & disruptive altercation between a family who came to the lobby more than once. Not dure if those people were staying at the hotel. Abusive language at a loud volume did not make for a nice conclusion to a family meeting unfortutely.
