Mediocre

The room was a good size, but decor was tired. The bathroom was very old fashioned and not in good condition - cracked for tiles and missing towel rail. The room was quite hot, possibly because it was above the spa/gym. Surprisingly for a Spa hotel, there were no bathrobes. The restaurant was good, food nicely prepared and a reasonable menu selection. However, it is costly - possibly taking unfair advantage of lack of local competition.

Sadly, the shower in our room didn't work well, the overall condition is now tired (been staying for years), the service is very slow, and the chef tends to go “off menu, " meaning the dish ordered and served varies. The bed was ok, but the room was too hot, and there was no temp control or A/C, so I barely slept. It could be great again, but it needs a refurb. Finally, our car was damaged in their car park and the staff couldn't have cared less / borderline rude!

A failed booking on Hotel.com

The room was in an attic an old part of the building. We had to climb 3 floors. It was not comfortable at all. We only stayed ONE night of 4 booked. We didn’t have any food. I used the Spa facilities once and it was ok. The staff was pleasant unlike the one at the reception.on arrival. I was charged for one night as originally agreed. I should have been refunded for the 3 cancelled nights.

Beautiful facade, well located for local vineyard and friendly staff. Reception area well presented as was restaurant and garden next to it. Rooms and pool area very tired. Bathroom old and in need of updating but clean. Pool area was disappointing - hot tub s’elt strange and was very old. Tiny sauna in each of the changing rooms, not able to sit and relax with my husband as they’re were single sex.

Everything amazing all the staff were well presented, friendly and helpful. The food was good and the spa treatments that my mum had she said was incredible. The spa was the cleanest i have seen in a hotel. We will definitely go back.

Loved the fact that we could sit in the terrace garden with our tea, and later, drinks. The pool was good, not too hot. Menu didn't change over the two nights so we explored food in Rye. Room was fine for two friends sharing a twin. Staff attentive and our one issue was dealt with.

Our stay caught us off guard if I'm completely honest. The staff were brilliant so this is no way a reflection of their dedication to the Flackley House, however the room we were given was not a reciprocation of what was advertised through the app. Furthermore, the spa facilities including the swimming pool were undergoing maintenance which was not mentioned prior our stay. The bathroom was very outdated - i can understand this as a traditional house, but in my opinion, this was not worth what we paid especially given not being able to use the facilities that really sell the property. The grounds were exceptionally beautiful. The staff were very welcoming and the breakfast was good. A car is recommended as it's in the middle of nowhere and shops are few and far between the roads. The beach was 15minute drive away. I wish to come back and stay but only after a thorough indoor upgrade in the rooms.

Not worth the money

Stayed for 3 nights with friends to celebrate three special birthdays , choosing Frackley Ash as it looked really nice , although it was a bit pricey for a room only option. The rooms we had were standard doubles and were located in the main building just upstairs from the reception. The bedrooms were a decent size & the beds were comfortable enough but the bathrooms were disappointing. They were very dated & had no showers, only a shower handset for washing your hair. This was a real let down as my husband has difficulty getting in & out of a bath due to a leg injury. We all had several niggling problems with the rooms ( door not locking, main light not working, towel rail loose , window not staying open , hardly any hot water in two of the rooms & TV not switching off ) , which is not really what you'd expect for the price that we paid. There is no air conditioning in the rooms either so you've got to have your window open & a fan on to try & cool the room. Breakfast is charged per item which is extortionate so we didn't bother with that, choosing The Cockerel Inn down the road instead, which I think most people do by the sound of it. Whilst the public areas were very nice, the rooms need a massive refurb.

Overall we were disappointed with our stay at Flackley. My wife did not receive a towel lacking powerful perfum (to which she has allergies and contributed to a severe migraine as a result ). The room was sub standard- French door broken, (leaky loo-we didn’t bother mentioning), and furniture was not as advertised. We informed hotel staff of these issues and felt neither listened to nor supported

We booked a Junior Suite but when we arrived were put in a scruffy double room with old furniture, stained carpets and an adjoining room with 3 single beds in it. They were fully booked and had obviously overbooked. The staff on the desk didn't know what to do. After strong words with the duty manager (interestingly we were supported by other guests), they offered a discount or a full refund - we took the refund, which we have now received. Not a great experience! Not even a reasonable experience! We were left without a room and our planned weekend break was ruined. Beware - Not every room looks like the photos!

The hotel was meant to do breakfast till 11 o’clock on a Sunday because they had a wedding book. They finished at 10 o’clock with not telling any of the 93 people staying in the hotel so we had to go out and get food in the middle of nowhere.

Unfortunately, the hotel needs to update their pictures. The Spa facilities were very old and not good! Although the staff were good , again the food let down the hotel even more. The evening meal was not good, tasteless and we weee glad we didn’t have a main meal. Breakfast, the poached egg came out hard , not soft as requested. The grounds were lovely as was the location, however, the hotel was a total letdown.
