Top The Nutshell Hotel Reviews

The White Horse Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Spacious, clean room and bathroom, with quite and volumous water from shower. Plenty of parking doorway. Pleasant staff and good location for me for work and for walk in the countryside."

The Jockey Club Rooms

10/10 Excellent

"I’ve reviewed this property so many times it is simply that good! The staff are amazing and the history and accessibility for the town is perfect."

All Saints Resort

8/10 Good

"During our stay there was a wedding party and the hotel was fully booked. There appeared to be staff shortages/new staff! This meant things took a little longer or needed a bit of extra staff training/help. Unfortunately there was also a wine shortage after several very busy events over the last 2 weeks! However we are patient people and ALL available staff were hardworking and friendly. Special mention to Ceran, Reese, Kyle, and sorry forgot name of the welding apprentice in the bar team. They went above and beyond. We had a room upgrade which was very gratefully received and a beautiful card for our Anniversary-thank you Molly! The pool and spa were great and especially loved the outdoor hot tub. It’s a great hotel, all the breakfast and evening meals were delicious. We would return if in the area."

Cambridge Quy Mill Hotel & Spa in Cambridge

8/10 Good

"Overall, I had a wonderful stay. The room could have done with some updating or deeper cleaning, particularly the carpet, and the bathroom could have done with a good scale removal and/or deep clean of the tile grouting and the far end of the tiles surrounding the swimming pool in the spa had a large number of dead bees around it, which made me curious as to how often this was monitored and cleaned. BUT… The room was comfortable, the bedding and towels were clean and comfortable, and towels were changed daily. There was a good selection of tea/coffee and biscuits, which were also topped up daily. The stand out here were the food and bar/restaurant staff. Both were outstanding. The two evening meals I had were top quality, there was a good selection of wine and I had a very well made Old Fashioned, The cooked breakfast was delicious - no real need to bother with the continental IMO, but sure it’s a good choice for others. The staff overall were all friendly and helpful, the hotel itself was set in wonderful surroundings and the gym and spa facilities were great to have access too."

Best Western Heath Court Hotel

10/10 Excellent

The Mill Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a very last minute booking, but the staff were very attentive and accommodating. The room was good and spacious, located in the annex, it did not have bath, but we were OK with the shower. The food is good, the breakfast was lovely, however continental part has no porridge and no cheese/charcuterie, just corn and other flakes and bread and jam and some small pastries. Beautiful location, building, good and comfy beds and good service"

The Crown Hotel
