Very comfortable and relaxing. Brilliant value for money.
Pros:

This was the unexpected golden gem.

Had originally booked another 2 hotels for a 1-day hotel but had to increase for a 3-day stay. The Conningbrook came up with a very competitive price, and turned out to be much better value that the previous, and having stayed at of the previous booked, was a better spec. The staff were brilliant and couldn’t do enough for you. And location perfect.

All in all, a great venue, great location and at great value. Thank you.

Cons:

Nothing to add here. No complaints.

After the difficult start, it was fine
Pros:

The staff were very helpful and arranged a change of room without a problem

Cons:

The first room was absolutely not acceptable - large iron burn in carpet; faulty extractor fan; black mould and a very odd smell. However, the second room ( a refurbished one) was good

Great location, great room, great staff, excellent parking, thank you!
Pros:

Nice property in convenient location for Eurotunnel with plenty of parking. My room looked like it was brand new and was meticulously clean.

The staff were really nice and helpful, especially the receptionist who also worked the bar. She was kind enough to ensure I got a drink after a looooong day driving despite being a little bit late arriving. Thank you!

10/10. I’ll be back!

Cons:

Nothing not to like.

A bit noisy but other than that, perfect
Pros:

Everything was lovely

Cons:

Everyone was slamming their doors and could hear the creaking of the floor boards in the hallway. I realised that the door handle wouldn't turn and the door had to be shut and you had to be a bit forceful with it. The doors need to be improved, some mechanism where the door closes slowly and the handles are better. Some sort of sound proof to it wouldn't hurt. I was woken up at 6am by someone slamming the door really hard, the whole room shook.

Faultless Mother’s Day carvery from start to finish.
Pros:

Had a lovely Mother’s Day meal at our local pub, The Conningbrook Hotel. The food was delicious, especially the roast, and everything came out perfectly cooked. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, which made it feel really special.

The staff were brilliant — friendly, attentive, and very smartly presented, which added a really nice touch. They made a real effort to make the day memorable for my mum.

Overall, a great experience and we’ll definitely be back!

Fantastic customer care, it felt like home from home.
Pros:

Upon arrival the lady who welcomed us was really lovely and she showed an interest in why we were there for the weekend, and was really friendly as was Alfie for breakfast the first morning and when he arrived on the Sunday and good service for breakfast on the Sunday too.

Cons:

A little dated in the bar and eating areas.
