Second time visitor

Second time I've stayed here and loved it just as much this time as last. There was some sort of annoying alarm/noise going off quite late at night which stopped just as I was away to call for help. Other than that it was another lovely stay!

Once a grand house but clearly now a bit bedraggled and tatty. The photographer who took the pictures for Bonkle house did an amazing job, or they are from many years ago. It really needs a proper redecoration.

Arrived at 11.30pm. Room on ground floor was huge and warm with 2 very comfortable beds. Made a brew and went to bed. Bathroom tiny but not an issue. Staff seemed friendly but didn't really see anyone. Paid extra as we arrived after 10pm.

Don't be put off by other reviews!

I'm glad I booked this before I read other reviews, or I might have missed out on a total gem! I booked the superior double room (Manor Suite) and it was just what I was hoping for. Large, bright, warm, clean. Lots of period features. Gorgeous ensuite bathroom. Lots of room for storing clothes in the walk through dressing area. I was travelling alone, and other than some doors banging from other guests, I had a really peaceful and relaxing time. A great night's sleep in the huge bed too! If I ever have need to stay over in the same area I wouldn't hesitate to return here.

The bed was clean and comfortable. Sink and toilet pan clean. The rest of the bedroom was past its "Best before". Holes in bedroom carpet covered by a tatty rug. Bathroom particularly dusty. The signage was incredibly difficult to see, almost impossible to see from the road. There was no opportunity to have breakfast. It's OK if you just want a basic bed for a night.

Warm and comfortable hotel

We had a huge room with sofa and 2 beds. Decor is dated but still was comfortable and nice and warm. Adequate facilities - bathroom / TV/ tea & coffee. No option for breakfast it is just bed. House keeping could have waited until later in the day to knock on as woke us up early on Sunday, wasn’t very happy about that. Mistake on check out time, I thought 11 and it was 10am, they were understanding which was appreciated.

Lovely stay, good value for money.

A quirky old Manor House with original features. Was not given info on breakfast availability, not sure if there was any, but there is a handy cafe down the road that opens at 9 anyway which did lovely breakfasts. They had a kettle with some tea/coffee/sugar/milk though. There were 3 of us staying but each time the room was serviced they took 3 towels and put in 2 which was a little frustrating. There was nice smelling hand soap, body was and shampoo (no conditioner) in the bathroom. Over all it was a nice stay close to a large Asda.

Not as haunted as it looks

Ok, this place is called BONKLE HOUSE. That's almost enough in itself. This is a lovely old house. We were kind of hoping it would be haunted - I mean, it LOOKS haunted. But alas, it was not. What a lovely space! We really enjoyed staying here. The room was so much bigger than we expected. The shower was.... tall. But watch the step down. It's a doozy. One thing of note - some places it's listed that they have laundry on site. They do not. Oh well. I found a good laundromat down the street. The staff was so wonderful. Our neighbors had a very loud TV and they took care of it so quickly. Even offered to move our room if we wanted. The grounds were so lovely! I really recommend this place. Just don't fall out of the shower like I did.

One night was enough.

Very tired looking building and interior which is such a shame as there are many traditional and lovely features within. Toilet and sink were very clean , the shower however was not and was so bad i drew attention to it when we left in the morning (we should have been staying for a second night but didnt want to), there was green algae? fungus? mildew? on the seal at floor level in the walk in shower and soap run marks in the shower underneath the bottles in a holder attached to the wall which hadn't even been scrubbed off from previous use. Not a good look and most probably a potential health hazard. As an NHS professional healthcare worker i felt strongly enough about it to take someone into the room at point of checking out to show them how bad it looks. I shouldn't have had to do this. No person reviewing that room would think differently from myself that includes staff. Sheer laziness to address such an issue. The hydraulic arms above the doors need maintanance or replacement as they didnt seem to work and slamming doors were heard throughout the night. I do appreciate the hotel staff have no control over guest smoking habits but that is the purpose of these arms to ensure soft closure of doors. Now i know why there is a no refund policy for this establishment and even though we had paid for a second night we just wanted home. That said the bedding was clean as were the towels.

Look beyond the negative reviews

Our usual overnight stop was not available and this was he nearest alternative with a reasonable rating. However, I did not read the reviews till just before we travelled and was a little concerned at what we might find. Other than the unusual check-in, everything was fine and the room was clean, spacious and comfortable. We had been asked to contact the property 24 hours in advance but, despite trying, this proved impossible

Truly Awful Hotel

I checked in with my daughter for an intended 6-night stay. We were given a room on the ground floor and there were no curtains which we thought was odd. There was a strong smell of damp and we instantly noticed how dirty the room was. Dust everywhere, rips in the sheets, stains in the toilet, old furniture. We didn’t have any confidence that the sheets were changed between guests. The whole place just felt very run down and neglected. We decided we were just going to stay 1 night and move on but my daughter suddenly said that someone was looking through the window - the bottom half of the windows were frosted and a man was pressing his face up against the glass to see inside which understandably really upset my daughter. I repeatedly asked a member of staff who was in their gardens peering in but the guy just played dumb. We called a taxi and checked out immediately - we tried to get our money back but have been told it’s not possible. Please please read other reviews and don’t book this dreadful place!

Ok for one night.

Shower didn’t work at all. Bathroom hot water took ages to warm up. Windows need sealing as they howled every time the wind picked up. On a more positive note the beds were comfortable. I’d guess at the images of the hotel would be about 10 years old.

Cheap and easy

If you need somewhere cheap and comfortable, this is the hotel for you. There are zero luxuries, and it is outdated. The room was very spacious however, the bedding had holes in it. The place was clean. The TV works, but it is very slow in recognising channel changes or the TV guide coming up. Lack of HD channels. The receptionist needs to work on their mannerisms and explain the situation clearly. I had to hunt for the WIFI password as no one is available after you check in. There is a lovely garden however, no one told me how to access it or use it. During the warm days it would have been ideal to eat or work from, but again zero information provided. I was there for three days and found the place good to stay however, the WIFI is unstable.

Haunted House

We arrived early and got lost along the way because the photos posted online were pure misleading. The whole place outside is unkempt, looked liked a haunted house the door was closed, we knocked endlessly but there was no response. After about 10mins of knocking, calling ( which were unanswered) a young lady opened the door, handed me the keys with few instructions and disappeared. The room was cold and I called the numbers that were displayed at the reception but they gave us some shady excuse as to why we couldn’t get heating . There was a jar in the room with ashes in it. I couldn’t sleep. I woke up at 3am and I could have sworn there was a dark figure standing on the edge of our bed watching us😂😂. I turned on the lights and stayed up until we checked out very fast in the morning. Overall that house is haunted. Creaking everywhere and flickering lights. Worst stay of our entire trip and I would not recommend anyone to stay there.
