Heritage Grange at Thurston, Hotel

Unfortunately it wasn't a good experience, the restaurant was close and the bar. As for the room, it was so small you couldn't board a dog in it, 15 minutes later I booked another room in the Dragonfly Hotel ...so no it wasn't a good experience

Good location, characteristic hotel and restaurant.

We were pleasantly surprised that after seeing a few so-so reviews, that was not our experience at all - we had a great stay! The house and gardens are beautiful and while you'd expect a little wear and tear of a property that age, it was very impressive and looked after. We had one of the lodges at the side of the garden and really liked the little terrace outside our door that looked over the garden. The room couldn't be faulted, a very comfortable bed, lots of space and the bathroom was well equiped and spacious. Everything was clean and well maintained and the rainhead shower was strong and refreshing. We didn't see many staff, but the ones we did see were polite and helpful. There was a lot of choice at breakfast and I had the full vegetarian option - excellent scrambld eggs in particular. Overnight, strings of lights lit the garden and it was lovely to sit on the chairs they provided on our little terrace. We've reason to visit the area regularly now and we will try to stay there again.

Easy parking close to hotel . Room very fresh and clean . Tea making facilities good although not enough milk for more than 2 cups but more available on asking . Breakfast lovely with lots of choice and food very good overall . Very good quality and value . Would stay again .

Breakfast was great, good selection, freshly cooked. Easy parking. Lovely gardens
