The Ned

Приятный старинный отель. Останавливаемся не в первый раз. Очень удобное расположение (во всяком случае, для меня - 10 мин от офиса). Комнатки маленькие, но очень уютные, прекрасно декорированные, без "гостиничного налёта". Персонал - выше всяких похвал. Легендарной английской чопорности нет и в помине. Очень внимательное отношение к деталям и нуждам постояльцев. По первой же просьбе оперативно и в полном объёме предоставили информацию (прислали утерянные отчётные документы). Завтрак - не сильно разнообразен, но вкусный и питательный (что немаловажно перед длинным трудовым подвигом) - все основные компоненты в наличии)).

Ценник отеля - это очень больно. В личную поездку вряд ли бы выбрала его, но в UK почти все цены такие...

Beautiful old building

Lovely features

The Ned was beautiful. The atmosphere, the interiors, the staff and the food were all outstanding!

We were not very happy to learn that if we wanted to use the gym and pool facilities we had to pay extra. We were expected to pay an extra 20 pounds per person per day. We have traveled to many hotels around the world and we have never been required to pay extra for general hotel facilities! We complained and we were basically told that because it is a members club and they pay so many pounds per year that they have to charge their guests for these facilities. Also, when we had a drink in the lobby one of the nights it was very busy and there were no seats available anywhere, we were standing with our drinks against a ledge and we were asked to move as it was an area reserved for members only! There was no area reserved for guests only. Members clearly receive priority over hotel guests. We were not made aware of this policy when we booked and we were quite disappointed with this treatment.

Our stay was so comfortable and really special- we were there for our 30th bday and there was a card and cake in the room for us. The room was cosy and the bed super comfortable. Overall we really enjoyed our stay- thank you.

We ate in Kaia, and while the food was exceptional, the waiting staff could have been a little more friendly and attentive as we ordered wine but it was kept away from the table and we kept having to ask for a refill!
