Battlesteads

Don't bother, unreliable booking! Booked direct by phone, was promised confirmation by email,none received. Sent email query, no response Phoned day before booking, promised call back in 25-30mins, did not happen.

Great staff, friendly and helpful. Rooms are good, decent size and comfortable with everything you need. Had an excellent evening meal and breakfast. Lovely service and good food choices. Good selection of local beers/ales.

Stayed 2 nights at Battlesteads, lovely place with plenty space in bar and restaurant, also an outdoor garden area. Room was a double but on the small side. When we arrived the heat in the room(14) from the radiator in the bathroom was unbearable, we asked how to remedy this and were told if we'd turned it down it would cool, so we did - and it didn't!! It was so very hot, especially after having used the bathroom, it was like a sauna. We opened the window but as we were on the ground floor with the carpark immediately outside it wasn't ideal. Food was OK, staff very nice. We visited the observatory last night, sky cloudless - until we went back outside to use the telescope by which time cloud had gathered, disappointed but out of our control. I'd definitely stay here again but not room 14.

Have stayed here multiple times. Accommodation is always clean. Be aware that cabins can be very warm in good weather. Although they have a fan it can still be very hot in the night. Dan and Kiona were great members of staff, very friendly and helpful. Good selection of beers and other drinks.

We just stayed the one night as we'd booked to go to the dark sky observatory which is just adjacent to the hotel. Our room was on the ground floor, very comfortable. Didn't have much of a view from the room but we did have a pint in the lovely garden area. We would have paid for one of the more expensive rooms if we'd been staying longer. We had a lovely meal in the restaurant. Husband had an enormous plate of fish and chips which he couldn't finish. Beautiful fish and crunchy batter. Good breakfast in the morning too. They make a point of either growing (mushrooms) or making their own on site as much as possible with ingredients locally sourced.

My husband and I have just enjoyed a two day break with you - The Taster Menu website offer, and thoroughly enjoyed everything on offer. It was our first time staying at Battlesteads. The fact that we live less than an hour away will no longer affect our decision to return! The facilities on offer in our bedroom way above those on offer at other similar establishments. We will not hesitate to recommend you to our friends and family
