Top 10 Shamrock Hotels

I was excited to go back after the refurbishment, having had a great time previously. We had to wait for the girl on the spa reception to finish her chat before acknowledging us. We were given some forms and told to take a seat. The spa was filled with children who were running riots. We were told when booking the arrival drink was tea or coffee, so we ordered a coffee and was told the coffee machine was broken so could only have herbal tea. So we were not off to a good start. Then off to get changed where the girl said there would be towels and flip flops already in the locker. Only one of us had a locker with this in. So we had to interrupt the receptionists chat to get those. The facilities have not been refurbished, and the steam room smelt so bad we couldn't bear to use it. Indoor pool is lovely, but it needs a bit of music or something. Cups and mugs and towels were left throughout the whole morning. Treatments we had booked for the same time as per my confirmation. We sat waiting, two of my friends went through, and I sat there, so I asked and was told my treatment was 30 minutes later. I queried this, and she said the manager had moved it some time ago. There was an apology that I hadn't been informed but added to the already there frustration. The treatment itself was amazing, my therapist really listened to what I wanted and delivered(sorry I forgot your name, brown hair and glasses, but you really do deserve credit) in fact, all of us were blown away by the treatments. Although, you can hear absolutely everything from the treatment room. could hear the same girl from the desk, noise from the gym and every time someone opened the changing room. As this was a treat for a friend we did not make a fuss, we paid and went for lunch earlier than planned. We went through to the hotel, where the receptionist was busy looking at her mobile over helping us. We made our own way to the restaurant. I did absolutely love the decor in the main hotel and that felt as though it really transformed. Lunch was great, service was excellent. We didn't get any names, but everyone who served us was fabulous. Things were on the look up! We decided to stay in the bar and lounge area for our coffee, finally! We really eally enjoyed the atmosphere up there. Overall, I wouldn't go back to the spa, the expierience of the spa itself wasn't relaxing or luxury. I can't wait to go back for lunch.

The hotel is in Lower Strauss, an old noble, elegant and rustic high-end hotel. The waiters are very good, the gentlemen are polite, and the hotel rooms are large and comfortable. Breakfast is a semi-buffet ➕ order, and the breakfast quality is excellent. For dinner, you need to book a seat with the restaurant in advance, and try to enter the restaurant in a formal dress. The price is not outrageous and the taste is acceptable. The small villages and towns surrounding the hotel are far more beautiful than the upper Strauss and Arlington townhouses, with few people and quiet, which are especially suitable for daze. This place is suitable for driving.

It is a very good hotel, the big lawn is facing the town hall at the entrance of the hotel, and the back door is a big park. There are many restaurants around and there are supermarkets within a 5-minute walk. The hotel room is very nice, clean and tidy. The hotel has a rich breakfast, English, omelette or cake. The front desk and service staff are very welcoming. The Cotswold attractions are all within a 30-40 minute drive from the hotel. In short, a very good stay experience.

Our stay at the old bank rooms was one of the best experiences we could’ve hoped for whilst visiting bourton on the water, the room was large and the bed was absolutely massive and so comfy! One of the best nights sleep I’ve ever had, the bath was incredible as well, took a whole bottle of bubble bath to cover the surface! Would highly recommend to anyone staying, the river is right outside and so close to the shops and towns main attractions

This weekend we had lunch with a large group of friends at the New Old Inn. On being sat for the meal no one asked us if we wanted drinks - not then or at any time during our meal. Water was provided. During the meal we weren't asked, as is customary, if everything was OK with our food or if there was anything else we needed. Most odd. In fact, those waiting on us, especially the 2 gentlemen, seemed unhappy to be there and were, when passing behind diners chairs or reaching across the table, quite unmannerly and also particularly noisy, banging crockery on the table at the rear of the dining room. Onto the meal - 2 pieces of bread cut in half (for 4 people) on a plate but no side plates and no butter knives so we used our starter knives and ate bread from the tablecloth. The prawn cocktail starter was ordinary but passable. I was really looking forward to the main course - the menu read, 'Gloucester Old Spot Pork, Crispy Crackling, Bramley Apple Puree, served with Roast Potatoes and Seasonal Vegetables' - sounds good! In reality I had 2 slices of pork, both with generous layers of fat and wet, floppy skin. Not the crispy crackling advertised. I politely asked the waitress if she could bring some crackling. She returned to tell me that they didn't have any crackling and that the pork was all gone. Apple sauce came but no serving spoon so we used our main course knives. The roasties (plural) consisted of 2 small potatoes. Descriptively correct, though a little mean, but overshadowed by the 'seasonal vegetables' which consisted of a slice of carrot and one broccoli spear. Again, not a lie as it was more than one vegetable, but they couldn't have economised more, except by serving individual peas! I know portion sizes have shrunk in our current economy but this is taking it to a new level. The desert was apple crumble which would have felt at home in any school canteen. And the price of this gourmet fayre? £56 for 2 people. Please find an alternative if you are contemplating booking, especially if it's for an occasion. We couldn't recommend this hotel and will never return, which is a shame as we regularly visit family living just 20 minutes away and are always looking for great eateries, We won't forget it, though, so we've put it in the 'making memories' pile.

We had a very comfortable stay in the Leckhampton Suite for 2 nights. From making the initial contact prior to booking, everything has been great and I can highly recommend these apartments. The apartment was presented in a luxurious but welcoming appearance. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and the continental breakfast was an added bonus. The bedding and towels were of a very high quality and we had great sleeps. So much so, we didn't want to go home. The town centre is 5 mins walk away and parking is available to the rear of the building. Will definitely stay here again.

Peaceful and Cozy.
