Guyers House Hotel Corsham

The sample menu advertised on line was nothing like we received. The menu offered was burger, fish cakes, curry, cold meat or cheese.
Hotels reply: Our menu online is a sample menu for guests to peruse, but availability of menu options depends on seasonality, availability and sometimes staffing levels.
Complaint was dealt with by Countryhotelsbreaks but still advertising it.

Good first experience

This was our first experience of using this company and we were very impressed with the website. The site was easy to use and we found a really good break on the date we wanted to go. Very satisfied so far.

Review so far

The process is straightforward as it is with most modern websites.

I think £20 service fee is quite steep considering most comparison sites won’t charge. You are also probably taking a percentage fee from the hotel for booking.

There is a limited availability of properties in the highlands of Scotland beyond Pitlochry.

An amazing hotel!

A great hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff and great food. Our room had an amazing view over the valley and the River Thames and the grounds looked beautiful, but we did not explore them due to bad weather. Instead we used the hotel's very well equipped gym and the lovely pool. Sadly we were unable to get a massage as there was not an available slot so I would urge people to book before they go.

Two minor down points. The bar did not have any draft beer at all which is quite unusual these days so the choice was not very good. Also I thought the wine list was far to short and could do with improvement

Worthwhile checking for accommodation alternatives

Likes...
Finding hotels which I have not discovered by other means
Price often includes extras such as a dinner allowance which we do actually use
Dislike...
Finding a hotel in a location relevant to our travel plans is often tedious. A listing based on motorways or just a functioning map would help.
Normally have to look elsewhere for more information on the hotels.
Inconsistent descriptions of rooms - this isn't particular to Country Hotel breaks but an industry wide problem with the hotel website and the resellers using different terminology and having different availability for the same room. (That's apart from classic, heritage, executive, premium, privilege, suite etc having a different heirachy & meaning at different properties!)

The website was very easy to manage

The website was very easy to manage. It was well explained that we would receive a confirmation email of our booking which new duly did. Excellent value for money for our weekend break. Well done Countrybreaks

Excellent experience

The website is very clear and the booking process was simple. We also got a good deal compared to the prices being offered on the hotel website.
I was also pleased with the way a query was handled. A customer service individual agreed to send an email to the hotel and, within 24 hours, I received a reply. This enabled me to proceed and make the booking. In these post COVID days when customer service seems to have been forgotten, I was very pleased to receive a prompt response.

GUYERS HOUSE HOTEL - VERY POOR.

I paid £177 for a double room at Guyers House hotel for one night thinking this was a superior room in a superior hotel. Wrong! The bath had chips out of it, the curtain pelmet was falling down, the one window was absolutely filthy. There was no shelf to put wsh/shaving kit onto and a stupid towel rail that was over the end of the bath and too small. There was no reduction for a continental only breakfast either. DON'T STAY HERE!

Reply from Country Hotel Breaks

Dear Mr Jones

We're sorry to hear about your experience at Guyers House Hotel. However, we are unable to locate a booking at Guyers House under the name of Jones made via Country Hotel Breaks. Perhaps your booking was made via another channel and not through Country Hotel Breaks?

Kind Regards
