Holdenby Almshouse School History Centre

So, the setting is lovely, and great for golfers and leisure but not so great for a couple looking for a short break. The bars are set up for the members, golf etc. Its ok but the restaurant menu is the same through the bars to the restaurant which is disappointing if you want a fancy meal. The first night we chose the restaurant and it is ok but a little tired. Staff are friendly and no issues there but the menu is lame and hardly any choice. Burgers and steak but everything else is not great. To offer a chicken mayo sandwich on the menu is not ideal. As for everything else it's average. I dont believe this place is 4 star and I think the room was also tired and in need of new decoration and modernising. We stayed in room309 and the wallpaper is starting to loosen on the joins and the bathroom is thick with silicone and repairs around the bath. The bath perimeters are filled with a quadrant and silicone sealed thick around the bath handles. I would also like to say, why don't cleaners bleach sink wastes? Easy to do and stops the black mould in the overflows and smells rising. I think this hotel spends its maintenance budget on the grounds for golf rather than anything else. It is fine but I would of liked to know this before our stay as im not a fan of golf.

Very clean and spacious. Kitchen well equipped. Very well positioned for the ICC and arena
