Pros:

Disappointed with our room which was overlooking the kitchen and bin store. Photos were sent but had gone to my junk mail. Don’t feel that the cost of the stay was justified. We didn’t feel we could sit in the room and relax with the noise from the kitchen vents. The bath while lovely had lots of limescale and this could be easily resolved with some Viakal. We had previously visited for a spa day six years ago. This time the drains were obviously blocked and the water from the showers was flowing back into the sauna. Just needs a bit of TLC.
Beautiful meal in the restaurant and service from the restaurant staff exceptional.

Beautiful character hotel
Pros:

Received a very warm welcome. The hotel and grounds were looking beautiful in the sunshine. We had a lovely character room in The Gatehouse with a modern well equipped bathroom . Dinner and breakfast were served outside in the courtyard and I had a complimentary G n T as it was my birthday. Had two lovely walks on the beach. The outdoor pool is beautiful but was a bit too warm and busy for me as sunny and lots of Spa day guests and members . We also had a delicious afternoon tea in the garden.

Pros:

Hotel was amazing and staff and food and hotel in general were wonderful. The spa treatment I had was amazing - spa facilities were small and could do with a bit of upgrading in areas.

A little gem for a getaway.
Pros:

A great spa hotel. Rural setting. Very close to the beach for a walk. An older property, but very quiet and comfortable with a good selection of teas/coffee in the room. Could do with a TV upgrade (just terrestrial TV) but other than that excellent. Log fires and small cosy rooms to sit in. Food was excellent, well worth dining in. The spa has a very nice heated outdoor pool, sauna and indoor pool with hot tub. My wife had a massage and was very impressed. Its set in lovely grounds and is a perfect little getaway. I would definitely stay here again.

Disappointing
Pros:

Maybe my expectations were too high as the reviews I had read were mostly positive about Bailiffscourt hotel.

The staff when we checked in were amazing, our bathroom was lovely and the breakfast choice was good.


The staff in the spa are unwelcoming and very unhelpful and tried to discourage us from using the spa at 8.15 pm as they wanted to go home ! The spa is advertised as closing at 9pm and the reception team encouraged us to visit that night.

The room that we stayed in was unfit for purpose, we could hear the person above us talking, snoring, walking around and then walking to the toilet and then also going to the toilet.
The lack of lighting walking from the reception to anywhere outside in the dark is appalling and could be quite dangerous.

When we checked out the receptionist did not ask us if we had enjoyed our stay which is quite unusual when checking out of a hotel, if he had I would have mentioned the above to him. I have also called the hotel to speak to a member of staff about my concerns and have been told that someone will call me back, I am still waiting after a week. So I do not hold out much hope for this.

I would not recommend Bailiffscourt hotel.

Pros:

Wonderful spa hotel with lots of character! The medieval-style design creates a charming atmosphere, seamlessly paired with all the modern comforts we needed. The spa was a highlight—relaxing and well-equipped. We also appreciated the friendly staff and attention to detail. Highly recommend it for a romantic getaway or a relaxing retreat!
