This is without a doubt the worst place we have ever stayed.
Problems started as soon as we arrived. We were emailed and told about the contactless check in and how to enter our room. Well, after locating our room in the dark we found it was locked with no way of entering. The owner went through from the house and unlocked it.
We then entered a freezing cold room which had NO working heating other than an electric fire. I wasn’t aware of the central heating working during our stay  The shower was a trickle that was either too hot or too cold
We didn’t go to breakfast as we were already aware we were not getting hot food. So a bed and breakfast that doesn’t do a cooked breakfast. 
Don’t  be fooled by pictures you see online. That is of their house which certainly is not a hall and not the freezing cold, mouldy accommodation they have fooled people to book.

Cold accommodation and no hot food.

We went to use the pool with the kids, it was great. Pool was lovely and warm and so was the building. The whole pool area was very clean, tidy and well kept. Will definitely be visiting again as it can be hired by the hour so completely private and the kids could play with their pool toys with no worries at all. For us, it was perfect and reasonably priced as well.

Great, private and very clean.

Danny the owner was so welcoming & friendly, the rooms were immaculately clean and the surrounding grounds are stunning ! There is a substantial continental breakfast available. They even have a small pool which was nice for a morning swim before work. Would definitely recommend Aldercarr Hall

Very Accommodating & Friendly

My partner and I have been a couple of times over the last month to use the swimming pool. We were suprised at the poor reviews as we have had good experiences both times and have recommended to friends and family who will be attending soon. 

The owner is friendly and wanted us to feel welcome. Although there is CCTV the privacy of having a pool to ourselves is very welcome everything is clean and a very easy to access.

Very nice Swimming Pool

We hired out the swimming pool today for the first time for an hour and the pool was amazing it’s been well maintained the cleanliness of the whole pool area and changing area was great. 
Great service easy to book highly recommend the best place we’ve hired out. We will definitely be back to book again. Absolutely loved it the kids had a great time.

Swimming pool hire

Booked this venue after cancelling swim lessons to teach our little ones privately as an ongoing weekly event. First visit it was unbearably cold and even worse in the changing / toilet facility . Tried again the following week and the adults decided not to swim as couldn’t bear the cold . Now looking for another venue , shame as it’s so close to home and would have been looking to book this weekly ongoing .

Too cold

Last minute night away , lovely welcome from owner showed us where we could park ,how to get to our room and chatted to us for bit,lovely man. Was about 7:30 pm when arrived so we popped are bags in room and then went local town for food , later after back we went to swimming pool for hour was absolutely lovely sooo warm and inviting spent over hour in there had to ourselves ,back in room we got into comfy beds and watched tv before sleeping , In morning got up early went to sweet little diy breakfast bar in conservatory plenty of choice of drinks hot and cold.And choices of cereals ,toast , yogurts and fruit. Definitely would stay again such a hidden gem truly a beautiful place, thank you 

Don't hesitate book it

Lovely clean cosy room . In beautiful countryside , hosts were pleasant and very accommodating. Would definitely stay again . A warm and homely room very private and quiet . Gardens very pleasant .  There is also aswimming pool didn't have time for a dip but looked very inviting .

Cosy peaceful clean homely hotel

This is without a doubt the worst place we have ever stayed. We arrived between 6 and 7pm with an 18 month child. 
Problems started as soon as we arrived. We were emailed and told about the contactless check in and how to enter our room. Well, after locating our room in the dark we found it was locked with no way of entering. We called the owner who told us that it was definitely unlocked and it was contactless check in. 
Once he had investigated himself he found it was in fact locked however he then went into the room to check that it had been cleaned!? 
We then entered a freezing cold room which had NO working heating other than an electric fire. I asked to swap rooms but the owner just came back with a second electric heater … not ideal with a toddler. 
We booked the family suite so our little one could sleep in a separate room to us however we couldn’t keep the heaters on all night due to risk of fire so we heated one room and all went in together. Well our little one got so cold we had to bring her into our bed and go out the next day to buy her warmer pyjamas. 
NO EFFORT WAS MADE TO FIX OR IMPROVE THE HEATING DURING OUR STAY. 
If you were thinking of booking the family suite don’t bother. There are no pictures of it online only other rooms which are potentially nicer. It is basically an old converted garage. Online a bath and mini golf were advertised … that doesn’t exist. 
After our first night my husband took our little one to the pool for a swim. Again it was locked up and he had to call the owner for access who was in bed asleep and miffed that he’d been called. My husband then had to uncover the pool himself and recover when he was finished. 
The owner came down during their swim to check on them and asked if we were warm enough. My husband said no and the response ‘is it bearable though?’  We did not pay £100 a night for is it bearable! 
It gets worse. There was a blood stain on the wall in our room and mould on the wall. The shower was a trickle that was either too hot or too cold … again not ideal with a toddler. 
In the breakfast room we were aware of how basic the breakfast would be however we were forced to dine in another freezing cold room and the place mats were covered in mould. 
This was our first mini break as a family to create some memories with our little one and it was completely ruined by this shoddy, inadequate accommodation. 
We reached out to the owners for some compensation for false advertisement and to give them the opportunity to apologise for our terrible experience but they have refused and continue to take advantage of good people while swanning it up in their house and using our money to redecorate their own home. 
Again don’t be fooled by pictures you see online. That is of their house which certainly is not a hall and not the freezing cold, mouldy accommodation they have fooled people to book. 


DO NOT STAY HERE

I arrived at 10.30pm last after driving down after work for funeral today. Bloke came out in to the car park to tell me I was room 4 and pointed me in right direction. Went in and the room was freezing and no word of a lie was overrun with mosquitoes - armed with a can of deodorant and and a pillow I killed at least 30 before I could finally settle for the night at 11.30. The room is very basic, cold tiled floor, no colour at all and mould on the ceiling above the shower. Now none of this is normally anything I would complain about but as I was going round to meet my dad for breakfast he was talking to the bloke and had obviously said about the amount of mosquitoes. The guy simply threw his arms in the air and said I can't do a thing about mosquitoes and walked away. This level of dismissive rudeness has really bugged me!!!!! Especially because actually there is something you can do, don't have windows wide open unless there are nets in place! Clear the mosquitoes BEFORE  your guests arrive. Provide a bloody fly spray! Also while I'm on the breakfast that is provided is literally toast, a choice of three crap cereals and a bowl with 2 oranges and 2 apples in. Very disappointed and absolutely would not stay again. Some pictures of what was left of the mosquito carcases. If I'd known the guys attitude would have been so crap I'd have photographed all of them!!
