Kentisbury Grange (Westpoundland View) - Fawlty Towers has nothing on this! My Mum and us three daughters stayed at Kentisbury Grange for four days, and whilst the setting is absolutely beautiful, our stay was memorable to say the least. At times, it genuinely felt like we had accidentally booked ourselves into an episode of Fawlty Towers. WRead moree were booked into lodge 17 and were due to check in at 4pm. We arrived around 30 minutes early and were told the lodge was nearly ready, so we were encouraged to have a drink at the bar while we waited. Nearly 40 later for three glasses of wine and a Coke, we returned to reception to collect our key. Enter Basil Fawlty, the manager. We were told to wait a little longer as they were just finishing hoovering. We were then given the go-ahead to drive to lodge 18 except when we arrived, it turned out that wasnt our lodge either! At this point, Sybil Fawlty appeared to be on the phone having something of a crisis. We were then informed that there had been a mix-up and, unbelievably, our original lodge had been double booked. We were sent back to reception yet again. Basil then tried to find us another lodge. Unfortunately, the first alternative had the hot tub situated a fair distance behind the lodge, in the middle of a field. This was completely unsuitable for our elderly mum, so after more confusion, another lodge number 6 was eventually found. Basil took us over to look at it first. After agreeing this was fine, Basil left. We walked into the bathroom and were greeted by a rather unpleasant smell. It appeared that Basil himself had been in there before us and had left us a rather memorable welcome gift. Lets just say, the lodge needed more than a quick hoover! Once we finally got settled, we discovered that we only had three dining chairs, one wine glass and two forks. Thankfully, Manuel came to the rescue, arriving later with the missing glasses and forks on a tray. At least someone knew what was going on! Despite all this, the lodge itself was lovely and the setting really is beautiful. Unfortunately, it hadnt been properly cleaned and several things were broken. We took photographs of everything because we were very conscious of the 250 accidental damage protection and didnt want our mum to be held responsible for damage that was already there when we arrived. Then came the mattress saga. One of the beds was so uncomfortable that my sister couldnt sleep on it, so we contacted reception and requested a new mattress. At around 9pm, Sybil Fawlty herself turned up carrying a mattress apparently single-handedly! We couldnt help wondering where Basil had disappeared to. Then, approximately 20 minutes later, another member of staff arrived with yet another mattress and wanted to leave the old one in our lodge. Unfortunately, this gentleman smelled very strongly of cannabis, and the smell lingered in our lodge for the rest of the evening. Not exactly the sort of complimentary aromatherapy treatment we had in mind! Throughout all of this, the one thing that was consistently missing was communication. We were repeatedly sent from one place to another, given incorrect information, and left to deal with problems that really should have been sorted before we even arrived. When we asked whether something could be done as a gesture of goodwill perhaps a meal or a few drinks at the bar given everything wed experienced Basils response was not quite. The setting? Beautiful. The lodge? Lovely once we finally got one. The organisation? A comedy of errors. The customer service? Very much in need of a Basil Fawlty refresher course. Hide

Lodge 17 has an opener I think and if thats the case he or she may want to reflect on having cleaning materials in it - so basic and even a cheap sponge was cut in half to save costs but embarrassing really IMO

Great location, quiet and friendly. Good value for money in general. Some small improvements to the lodge would make it even better, but all in all a great experience and we would go back!

The lodge we had booked was not the one we stayed in. Someone at check in told me this is an ongoing issue. Thankfully the lodge we did stay in was nice but not what we booked.
