Accommodation at Salomons Estate

Absolutely fantastic stay super breakfast nothing to much trouble

Stayed here for a work course. The accommodation block and the room itself were like university halls and whilst the facilities were adequate for the price, the standard of cleanliness was poor. There were squashed mosquitos on the walls when I arrived, and a spider living in the top of the shower. There were bits of debris left on the floor and the carpet was badly stained in places. The desk chair was scuffed and worn out. The television didn't work properly. There was a hole in the ceiling covered up with plasters. There were ear plugs left by the bed, presumably because the walls are very thin, but finding ear plugs in a hotel room on arrival doesn't exactly give a good impression. The food was cafeteria-style and on the first day they ran out of the vegetarian option before a lot of people had got their food. It is old-fashioned (and not very sustainable) to assume that everyone who hasn't declared a dietary requirement will want to eat meat. The grounds are very nice and the old buildings on the estate are impressive.

We had our wedding reception at Salomon's and it was fantastic. The team were really helpful in getting us through all the planning and the day itself, particularly our wedding coordinator Erin. The grounds and building are beautiful. The food was excellent, both quality and portion sizes, and they were really good at dealing with complex interactions of allergies and dietary requirements. Compared to other venues the price was very reasonable for such a stunning location.

My son and daughter in laws wedding was held here and Wow what an absolutely brilliant day was had by all! All of the staff ensured the day ran faultlessly and I can’t praise them enough! The food was absolutely gorgeous and pizza option in the evening was a wonderful idea. Most of the wedding party stayed onsite and found the rooms to be very comfortable and well appointed- bed was so comfortable and just what you need after such a busy day. Breakfast was delicious with everything you could want- really good quality ingredients too. Can’t recommend enough - just a beautiful setting for a wedding. Thank you to all the staff for making the day so special and one that we will always remember.

Beautiful views and scenery but very basic rooms. Also, I accidentally left a pair of Apple air pods in the room, and requested the facility send them to me in Canada. Apparently someone put it in the mail, but they never got a tracking record, or receipt that shows when and where it went. A las, the airpords never turned up in Canada. Very frustrating to lose something expensive like that. No reimbursement, no help from the company. Won't stay here again.

24th May 2024 We had the best day for our wedding at Salomons and couldn’t recommend it more to anyone looking for a wedding venue! Our wedding coordinator, Willow, and her team were incredible on the lead up to our big day & the day itself. Our day was stress free and seamless. The rooms were decorated beautifully, everything we asked for was there, Willow kept me in the loop, guided us through the day & was always on hand if we needed anything - we really could not have been happier. Food was exactly as we had at our tasting session, chefs cooked for 50 guests and plates were left clean! We had lots of decorations and extras, which Willow took on with no problems & assured me that nothing was too much. This includes accommodating our outside suppliers, some of them being a little last minute! Our cottage was lovely & clean, enough room for all the groomsmen’s morning of the wedding. Breakfast next day was appreciated and loved by all the next day. All our guests loved the day and said wonderful the venue & all the staff were! Thank you again! Mr & Mrs Mcintosh x

The front-of-house staff are very friendly, and the food is very good, but....they stop serving supper at 7.15! When I asked why, they said it was because the kitchen staff have to leave by 8. My TV was stuck to the wall in a place where there was absolutely nowhere you could sit and watch it. I mentioned this to colleagues, and some said I was lucky as their TVs had no signal. I did tell reception - twice - and each time was told that a manager would contact me. They never did - so am not impressed.

My partner and I booked for a 1 night stay. Upon arrival very nice receptionist, good information, we were told that breakfast was cooked and continental, no mention of extra fees. The room was very clean, everything we expect, 2 minor maintenance issues. The bed, was the worst mattress I have ever “slept” on, I work up every 2 hrs, by the morning both hips, knee, lower back all hurt. Partners back was also bad and he had not slept well either. You could feel the padding was gone and a lot of springs and the pillows, even with 2 went flatter than pancakes. At breakfast we had to find the person on duty and were directed to the breakfast area, it was just continental, no cooked. We did query this and was told that if there are no weddings on, cooked isn’t a option and is extra. The same receptionist from the night before denied she has said cooked was included, we both remember it was it was shown the paperwork that was signed. We did get a cooked breakfast after this discussion and what was there was very good quality and tasty. At checkout we were asked about the sleep and we gave our feedback, we did receive a discount. We were told that some rooms had new mattresses, the hotel was not full; so, why give guests a room with a horrible mattress? If you hadn’t have done, we’d have slept well, not been tired and there fore not fussed about the lack of cooked breakfast and your review would be higher. Bad business sense to put guests in poor quality rooms when you are empty, as such I will not recommend you. Also our room was a walk up a steep road, the stairs where blocked off, which was hard going and frankly dangerous.

The Mother's Day Afternoon Tea was absolutely brilliant. Food was excellent especially the selection of cakes. The staff met all our dietary requirements and the service and surroundings were faultless. It was a fantastic day, we had a look round the museum as well and that was very interesting. Although raining on the day we have visited before in better weather and the grounds are gorgeous.
