Hotels in der Nähe von St Pauls Church (C of E) Graveyard, Nelson

Absolutely awful experience. Noise from the gym from 07:30 until 21:00 in the old building with no sound proofing. Then when that goes quiet the flood light for the car park comes on and the curtains are not enough to block it out lighting the room from all sides. Furniture is dated and bed was uncomfortable. Bathroom was also dated and had issues like the toilet handle being damaged due to the constant need to excessively flush to make it work and low water pressure from the ancient taps that the caps keep falling off from. Mould and cracks can be seen and cobwebs behind the curtains. Then the food, had a deal including a 2 course dinner which was beyond awful. Ended up ordering out as it was poor ingredients and cooked badly. Overcooked chicken and floppy fries. Wine tasting was a joke too (part of the package) 4 crap wines in the incorrect glasses, not bothered by now though, with just a whisker of wine in them, and then asked if I wish to purchase any of the vinegar they offered. I have stayed in some run down places in the past but this place took the biscuit. Gym is full all day and the smell of the pool from outside my room put me off going, overall poor experience especially for the cost. Said something at reception and only got a poor response. Don’t go here, don’t waste your money. You can see how run down it is when you arrive to a poorly maintained building. The photos on the web site are nothing like the experience, the room I stayed in was run down and old and the food was absolutely not presented as in the professional photos added. Wish I had taken a photo.

Beautiful hotel, staff friendly and knowledgeable, food lovely, leisure facilities clean and staff very welcoming. Will definitely recommend and can’t wait to return.

Arrived at lunch time and told our rooms were ready so we didn’t have to wait until 3 pm which is normal check in time . Went to the restaurant and had lunch which was lovely and would satisfy even the biggest appetites I’m sure. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful even though they were extremely busy and the had a funeral wake there as well as their lunchtime patrons. Our rooms were bijou but perfectly adequate for one night as had everything you needed including an iron and ironing board also hairdryers were available at reception. The shower room while small was functional and a plentiful supply of hot water . We had dinner in the restaurant as we had travelled up from Wales and didn’t want to drive anywhere else to eat. We weren’t disappointed the menu was varied and all home cooked . Staff again friendly and helpful so it was enjoyed by all. We retired to bed after a few drinks and the bed was so comfortable and warm . The breakfast which is also included in the price of the room was excellent, buffet style and plenty for everyone. All in all a great stop over at a very reasonable price. Their biggest asset is their staff who were all extremely pleasent and helpful with no requests being too much trouble for them . Would definitely recommend The Old Stone Trough to anyone if you’re looking for a fair priced stay with great food and comfy beds

After a lovely warm welcome, we had a couple of cocktails in the bar. Service by the girls was excellent. Restaurant service was very disjointed, the table next to us were forgotten about for at least 30-40mins. First 2 dishes were fantastic and we thought can’t wait for the rest to come. Very disappointing the next 3 dishes pigeon,cod and venison very poor. The dessert was great. All in all this place has just been voted in the top 3? Very disappointing meal, hap hazard service and over priced for the quality of cooking. Also watching the kitchen cam from our room the chef on desserts helping him self to what I think was ice cream but double dipping with the same spoon then returning the container to the fridge or freezer. If your showing your kitchen off tell your chefs there being watched. Would we return, No !!
