Negative Reviews
negative:
Issues with bathrooms
Although most guests find the rooms reasonably comfortable, there seems to be cause for concern relating to the standard of the bathrooms. Reviews frequently suggest that these are poorly maintained with specific issues including peeling paint, loose taps and low water pressure for the showers.
negative:
Traffic noise from the M5
While the proximity of the M5 is undoubtedly convenient for onward travel, it does mean that there may be some traffic noise to contend with. The windows are double glazed but the lack of air-con means you'll probably want to leave them open in warmer weather. Hence, you can expect a rumble of traffic in the background.
negative:
Lacks attention to detail in places
The initial appearance of the Battleborough Grange Hotel seems to impress. However, guests who are looked a little deeper found that there are several areas that suffer from a lack of attention to detail. Issues are typically minor such as dead batteries in the TV remote and missing lightbulbs but are frustrating nonetheless.
