Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Muthu Belstead Brook Hotel often impresses with its beautiful decor, especially in the reception area, and some guests have enjoyed the spacious and well-appointed garden rooms featuring patios. The breakfast buffet, complete with great coffee, is a highlight for many, and the bar offers tasty food options with good portions, although some have found the food options limited. Guests appreciate the leisure area, including a reasonably sized warm pool and a large hot tub, but a few have noted the need for better communication about obtaining towels and keys at reception.

Acceptable Stay With Some Issues

beautiful lawnfaulty kettleinsufficient supplies
The lawn at the front of the hotel was beautiful.
The room lacked sufficient supplies. We found only items for two guests even though the room was a family room for three. the kettle only worked if the plug was not fully pushed into the socket. It looked faulty. THIS was disappointing.
