Guest reviews for Vale Resort
"The staff was very attentive and friendly. Unfortunately the weather wasn't in our favor we didn't get to see much because it rained throughout our staying."
"Not sure since I can't speak without seeing the entire resort."
"Spacious rooms, spotlessly clean. Excellent breakfast, great facilities such as swimming pool steam room and sauna. Very relaxing. Food in Cafe/bar was excellent and served quickly"
"The staff in the bar/cafe area were extremely helpful and friendly, however it was pretty obvious they were under staffed as long ques at the bar, long wait for tables to be cleared - really not fair on the staff who really were trying their best and working hard."
"Nice welcome, clean and spacious room. Good selection of food at breakfast."
"Bathroom door did not close properly. Duvet wasn’t big enough for the bed."
"Everything from the Staff to the accommodation, Restaurant was excellent"
"N/A"
"Staff were amazing, nothing was too much trouble. On check in while we had a twin room booked, they worked out as a couple we would likely prefer a double and sorted on the spot with housekeeping. Room larger than average, as was the bed once re-made as connected beds. Air con built in and powerful, we were very comfortable overnight despite higher temps outside. Gym has small shop for missed essentials, decent selection of equipment but fairly busy. Pool and sauna very nice, with outdoor seating if weather up for it. Breakfast very good, decent selection buffet style with very good gluten free support for those with this allergy. Chef and open kitchen space if you need something specific cooked. If you are staying, make sure you do the walk to the nearby lake to take in how pretty the area you are in is. Reception has a little card with the route."
"Room next door was a smoking room, which meant they were outside smoking a lot. This meant we had to keep our door shut a bit more than we would have liked but this is not really a negative. There was a little confusion on GF options in the restaurant menu for dinner, but staff were knowledgeable and most items can be made gluten free by the chefs. Although this is usual not including things, as opposed alternatives so you miss out on gravy, etc. which is a shame. Opposite on breakfast where they did have GF alternative bread, sausages were at time of staying GF, etc. Why breakfast is on the positive side."
"Staff were friendly and super helpful. Rooms were great size and room features were as expected"
"Wardrobe door was broken and not fixed after reported Gift bag was not delivered to room as expected."
"Great value, good location for us, very good food in the restaurant"
"Nothing"

"everything was amazing with the stay. locations, sites everything great."
"getting the invoice printed took quite some time to process. i wasnt in a rush so made no difference but could be improved"
"Great location for my needs and very easy to get to just off the M4 motorway"
"The complaint is the making of the beds! This the second occasion on the trot. The first visit we had a king sized (2 single zipped together) but only had a double quilt on top and so every time either my wife or I turned over in the night we end up with more or less no quilt. Second visit we opted for single bed which are comfy if the beds are made correctly. The single quilt was put into a double quilt cover and was all screwed up inside at the bottom also the bottom none fitted sheet was too small !! And shift over the bed every time you moved in the night ! This an issue for house keeping to sort out. This is my only complaint, it might seem trivial but it leads to an uncomfortable night."

Marie-heidi Diamonds Lodge near York Hospital
"nice b&b in a village close to York next to a bus stop which links York with the moors countryside and coastal towns. convenient to visit both York and Whitby/Scarborough especially if you have a car. feels like a home than a hotel."
"Spotlessly clean. Good attention to detail. Breakfast first class. Very nice owner. On a bus route onto town. Adequate, free off-site parking if driveway parking is full."
Linda Ashbourne House
"We loved everything about Tower Guest House. The room was immaculately clean. The details were appreciated - power blackout blinds covering the large windows & blackout shade covering the skylight window in the bathroom made for a quiet and dark room, perfect for a good night's sleep; cold drinks in the small refrigerator; beautiful decor; comfortable bed; easy to use app to access information, order breakfast, adjust the room temperature, etc. The host was very helpful in offering ideas for our visit to York. We were permitted to park our car early in the day and stop in to use the toilet before walking in to explore York. We highly recommend this B&B. During our 21-day holiday throughout GB, this was absolutely the nicest stay we had of our 14 different accommodations."
