Els Hawthorns

Very rough hotel, cheap but dirty, no WiFi, no food. No drink. Rooms dirty, carpet sticky in room. Shower curtain dirty. But cheap

The hotel is in a beautiful setting and easy to get to. Our room was well placed in the older part of the hotel and was clean and fresh good facilities and liked the bath and seperate shower fantastic. Iorn/board hairdryer fridge kettle all used good quality and clean. Liked the eco housekeeping only cleaned every 3rd day or if you asked this suited us. However the reception hall we walked through to get to rooms was not clean a party had clealry taken place earlier on in the day so could excuse this a little but by 3rd day still not cleaned up dirty glasses uncleaned floors such a shame as bldg had so much potential. A wet towel sat outside the entrance for 24 hours before anyone moved it. The whole place just lacked some TLC and needed some general maintenance like why do you have screws sticking out of the back of bedside tables, think they are meant to be screwed to wall but clearly werent. Of course this was just our room others may well have been different. Did not find the receptionist on arrival helpful or friendly although when we checked out she was lovely. We had paid for breakfast but did not attend 2nd day as the quality on day 1 was so bad. Go to the garden shed in wellsbourne instead super cafe. The location is perfect easy to reach local areas of interest and nothing too far away. Instructions for arrival clear and concise. The grounds where amazing and well worth a wander round.
