Nearly 5 weeks ago we went to Holme Lacy. On the Wednesday morning while running the shower I accidentally slipped on the wet floor . There was no rubber bath mat for safety. I fell backwards and split my head causing blood everywhere. The first aider and paramedic were called and I was taken to Hereford hospital where they were very worried about me after having a head scan and frequent BP checks. My back was covered in bruises and I had 6 clips to bring the gash together. Because I was so ill i was driven home by my daughter after 8 hrs in hospital. I have been in contact with Holme Lacy and they are not interested in what happened other than to blame me 100%. The following day I had to go to the local hospital as it would not stop bleeding. Last week I had another scan because of continuous headaches. Apparently the hotel cannot find any failing by the hotel. If this is how they think they are not to blame in any way it doesn't say much for people who have been to their hotels many times. It was too much to at least have a refund for 2 days but evidently that is never considered. To put it mildly we are disgusted with their attitude and will not visit them again.

Horrendous Experience at Sinah Warren Warner Hotel Stictly Weekend! My partner and I were utterly let down by our recent weekend getaway. From the moment we arrived, it was a debacle. No parking available, missed activities due to lack of notification, and a so-called VIP table that was anything but VIP. The dance classes were so cramped it was impossible to enjoy, and the dining experience was akin to a school cafeteria. To add insult to injury, the staff's communication was shockingly poor, leaving us in the dark about important details. Even worse, when we expressed our concerns to the manager, Clinton, we were met with dismissiveness and excuses. We ended up cutting our stay short because it was so dreadful, only staying one night out of three. And forget about getting our money's worth—despite paying over £1,000, we barely got one dinner and two breakfasts out of it. Save yourself the headache and steer clear of this establishment. Warner Hotels promises luxury but delivers nothing but disappointment. STAY AWAY!"

What is the use of paying the extra cancellation protection when it does not work ??? As a terminally ill person who cancelled within a period to allow them to re-sell the room have been told they will hold onto the £300 + until they book again.. basically they need that money for the sake of a little quality of life that they have left.. never have I dealt with such uncaring disgusting money grabbing people such as these !!!

In my opinion Warners mislead the public with the entertainment. They advertise groups who clearly don’t exist anymore with original members…seems like a free for all on these 1960/70’s names with the parasites who are just music scammers living off other original members names. The Dreamers for example….one says he was in Freddie and The Dreamers yes for six weeks and sacked…why should we pay premium money to watch fakes. Union Gap nothing to do with the band at all. Plus many many more Tom Farrier musician from the era. Warners stop misleading the public.

The actual site at Gunton Hall is OK, as is food and accommodation. Just don’t use the spa. On entry there is a sign warning you to be quiet! This gives you an idea of management style. I booked the facial/manicure package. My nails take ages to dry, so I requested my manicure first but their ‘protocol’ is to do your facial first. I just had nails done and yes, they smudged, although I was extremely careful. They were removed next morning and I felt disinclined to take the facial as the atmosphere was so difficult. I requested a refund which has been denied. My word against the manager here. Whatever happened to customer service? Be warned! Don’t expect a refund if you are dissatisfied!

Booked 3 nt break 2022. In hospital cancelled. Money put in holding acc for 12 months. During that time diagnosed with incurable lung disease. Not advised to mix for fear of infection which could prove deadly for me. In fact our lives are now the same as shielding permanently. Have to wear masks when with people indoors etc. and cough a lot. Unpleasant for other people. Supplied Drs letter as they requested which gave name of disease and reasons I shouldn’t go. Dr wrote she supported my request for refund. Still refused. Write to MD at head office with full info - still refused. Didn’t even send written reply and explanation. Got his sidekick to ring. Read T and Cs in detail - nowhere does it state about refunds for incurable diseases or a terminal diagnosis. In fact they never give a refund. It’s all rebook or gift your holiday to a friend. If you are able to rebook they then charge rebooking/ cancellation fee plus the updated price of the break you booked initially so you end up losing most of the money they put in a holding account anyway and it costs you a lot more. What they put about their protection plan on the back of the confirmation of booking is just a few lines but it’s written in a way that leads you to think you are fully covered. You have to really dig into it online to find the exact facts which are ‘you’ve been a sucker mate!’ So here I am with an incurable disease I didn’t ask for losing out on the test of my life and some so and so is keeping my money! £472.01! What a way to treat people! Disgraceful!

Took my mum for her holiday to Thorsbey Hall hotel in Ollerton, 31/7 /23 for4 nights, stunning building, beautiful garden. Good size rooms and comfortable beds. Unfortunately the service in the bars and restaurants were sub standard, the staff were under trained, served coffee before dessert , we finished our meal and the drinks were brought to the table, the tables were not cleared of plates. We ordered afternoon drinks on the terrace to have whilst watching the entertainment , the order was taken but we did not get the drinks. You were asked to leave a credit card number at the start of your stay however out of courtesy the guest should be asked if they wanted to settle with the card given, however they just took the money and put the itemised bill receipt under your door. I made a complaint and the receptionist took notes and made the right noises but I am yet to receive a reply. This is a prime example of a hotel advertising and not being able to deliver.will not be recommending this hotel or revisiting.

Rubbish booking service. I booked in January and paid a supplement to choose a specific lodge/chalet. Two weeks before departure I am told I can’t have my chosen accommodation and I will be moved - no choice, take it or leave it. I have taken a full refund and will never use Warner again

Just returned from Cricket St Thomas early as totally fed up with the service, having to queue for both breakfast and dinner, item missing of both menus. We asked about the problem and were informed the restaurant has not got the capacity to with all the guests although dining times were booked.We felt we paid four star prices and received two star treatment

We arrived and were shocked at the conditions. Much like a 1950’s Butlins. We refused to stay and we’re offered a refund. It is now 6 weeks on and I am still waiting for my refund. You cannot speak with anyone and no one answers emails. Then they have the audacity to send me a questionnaire on how they have done. Stay well away from Lakeside and Warners if you want anything other than a hut to stay in, school dinners and terrible service.

I have been a long standing customer at Warners for over 25 years, however, this will no longer be the case as Warners have declined in every aspect!! and they honestly do not give a damm about this!!! They just always seem to write the same answer of which is just expressing their disappointment in your bad experience and then stating that they do hope you would visit them again in the near future......such unprofessionalism!!! Sadly I will not be returning, as there are now far too many issues of which are not trivial but very very serious, but have obviously not been addressed, so goodbye Warners with you extortionate prices, but lousy cheap tacky breaks

This is a message to anyone who had a broblem with this company over the 50pound cancellation fee per person. Should you have paid with a credit or debit.card.and you have not been offered another break.and have been refused a refund.conntact your card provider to claim, a refund under section 75 of the consumer credit act

Norovirus sickness bug in the hotel before we arrived (and subsequently while we were there ... reception staff were wearing masks!) which we should have been told about BEFORE our break. Absolute disgrace! We eventually cut short our weekend (an 80th birthday treat) without an apology or any offer of compensation, and my wife was ill after our return. Weekend completely ruined. Queuing to enter the restaurant with a different table at every meal. Awful change of policy. £25 to reserve a tiny table for the entertainment. Total rip-off when we had paid well over £1,000 for the weekend. All about money grabbing with no consideration for the customer. Duty of care: Zero. One star above is incorrect. It wouldn't accept my review with no stars! NOTE to Warners: Don't bother to reply with your standard response, ie "we are sorry you were not happy with some aspects of your visit, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!" And by the way, I won't be taking you up on your "welcome home" offer of £15 pp off our next holiday!
