Rangeworthy Court Country House

"Agreed with previous comment about nice looking place but that's where the positives end. Booked one of our workmen in there last week and he was not happy and I felt guilty because I booked it. Night 1: shower did not work, no remote for TV so could not use. Their reply was - someone stole it Night 2: No hot water or heating - sorry its all gone Night 3: Hot water no heating Our man didn't even stay the 4th night He was not happy."

"DO NOT STAY HERE! We didn’t read reviews before we booked and they validated all our concerns/disappointments... Paid £55 for the “nicer room”; it was not worth it. The whole place is run down, rusted and overgrown - the first thing you see as you come down the driveway is a horse float full of junk... Our room had no heating - the radiator was rusted over; a view overlooking more junk and an overgrown garden, at 11:00am the (battery powered) fire alarm started beeping. We had to take it off the wall and take the battery out to sleep. At 6:00am the one in the hallway started!! I called the owner but he didn’t come and sort it - reading previous posts he doesn’t sound very helpful. Got out of there ASAP the next day - but not after finding long black hair on the handtowel I used to dry my face. YUCK!"

"We arrived 8.30pm on a Saturday to a warmly lit, Olde English reception area complete with fireplace, settle chairs, flagstones and low beamed ceilings. Michelle our housekeeper took our bags up old rickety wooden stairs to room 14 with its old oak door opening onto a twin bedded suite, large and beautifully furnished with a large seating area, large sofa and twin aspect bay windows with window seats, beautiful drapes and sumptuous cushions.Good TV reception on a large flat screen TV. The en-suite bathroom with large, long bath was old but spacious and loads of hot water to enjoy a long relaxing soak. I wished we could stay another couple of days!!"

"Much better than expected. We got a warm welcome from Debbie.. that was lovely as I had been slightly nervous booking due to some bad reviews. But we were pleasantly surprised. Love the entrance and the grand atmosphere. Good outdoor and indoor seating. But this is an old house. Renovation is taking place. For the price and area we were very happy. One star less due to one of the doors being broken. But if you don't mind self catering.. An old building and you just need a comfy bed.. this is the place for you."

"Stayed just 3 weeks after opening and the new owners are doing absolutely brilliant. Very reasonable price and an excellent nights sleep. Lovely large and clean room. Beautiful 16th century building. A few teething problems to sort which they are very much in the process of sorting (low water pressure/loose door handles/kitchen was being installed so no breakfast available) but I will most definitely be looking to stay there again when I expect the new owners will have a 4/5 star rating after seeing to these few minor issues."
