Top Buckland Newton Hotel Reviews
George Albert Hotel & Spa
10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our 5 day stay at the Hotel, our standard room was of a very generous size, much bigger than a lot of hotels which was very pleasing.
The Hotel throughout was spotlessly clean, and the food was excellent, the staff were very helpful, and the cost was very reasonable, there was always plenty of parking spaces in the car park, and we will definitely visits again, the Hotel exceeded our expectations."
"NEVER STAY IN THIS HELL HOLE. even the welcome mat had a 3 foot hole in it lol
the room was old, ripped wall paper, many things was broken, the furniture was old and broken.
most and I think illegal, due to fire regulations was the windows was restricted to opening 3 inches, with blocks and screws, we would have had no fire escape if the fire was on our 2nd floor landing, We had no sleep in the two nights stay as it was over 40 degrees in the room with no air
paint flaking off radiators,
broken glass in the doors
the staff was rude and non caring
the food was terrible, served a salad that was wilted and not fit to eat, day they messed up our breakfast and gave us fish , instead of bacon
we left after 2 days of a 6 day stay"
"We stayed at Driftwood for two nights and had a very pleasant experience. The accommodation was comfortable, and the overall stay was enjoyable. The host was extremely friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with anything we needed. The breakfast was also very good and provided a great start to each day. We would happily recommend Driftwood to anyone looking for a comfortable and relaxing stay."
"All the staff really friendly & helpful, room very nice with excellent view of weymouth beach. And food really good especially the breakfast. Definitely 5 stars all round for the hotel"
"Really dated and tierd but staff making best of what they have.
We visited in a heatwave so perhaps not a true reflection but was stifling. No air con. A small broken (span but didnt move side to side)fan provided that pushed the warm air around and the next morning fans had been put in the corridor.
Reception staff friendly and welcoming. Breakfast staff a bit abrupt but again perhaps the heat!
We booked for a short stay and the surrounding countryside and shaftesbury Town are lovely. The hotel is situated on the main road although still quiet and lovely garden etc. Gpod location for the town etc
Unfortunately the pool area is not nice. Changing rooms really dirty and the pool water really cloudy and murky- the main reason we chose the hotel was for the pool.
All in all was fine for an overnight stay and room was clean. Just a bit old fashioned and dated for us and the pool area need some attention"
