Overall this was a good experience. The hotel has a great history. Many of our oldest hotels can appear a bit ‘tired’. This is no exception but don’t be put off by that. It is a splendid building in an outstanding location. The Spa is excellent. Congratulations to Best Western in recognising the value of investing in this wonderful monument. I have given 5 stars across the range. By modern standards it is not a 5 star hotel. There were minor issues, a bedside light bulb, TV reception one of the rooms but the reception staff were helpful. I would return.
Originally constructed in 1886, the Welcombe Hotel is a magnificent Jacobean-style house whose grandiose character is still very much in evidence.
The façade has not changed, and the oak-panelled lounge and four-poster suites exude extravagant grandeur, but all this is perfectly complemented by the contemporary style of the garden rooms and the spa facility.
