I’ve used Country Hotel Breaks a few…

I’ve used Country Hotel Breaks a few times and couldn’t fault them until now. 3 days before our spa hotel holiday we received an email stating that due to “unexpected operational issue” they had to cancel our booking. The email stated that their priority was to find a solution to us but it was worded in such a way that it made us believe that we had to find a different hotel, even though we have booked our trains. Eventually we found out that all we had to do was book directly with the hotel - why Country Hotel Breaks didn’t do this on purpose behalf or inform us that it’s only a minor issue is beyond me. The other problem was that the hotel couldn’t honour the £100 voucher we had with CHB so we had to get a receipt and claim it separately. The whole experience was extremely convoluted and although we understand that unexpected things happen, the way it was handled was very poor and unprofessional.

Beyond disappointed

Beyond disappointed with this company. Got an email followed by a telephone call at 2.30pm this afternoon cancelling a reservation we had for a hotel tomorrow! Totally unacceptable.

Excellent Customer Service

Following a telephone call to discuss my requirements I have received nothing but great service. From the initial call to change the details of a gift voucher I had been given, to making suggestions for suitable hotels, to facilitating my final choice, Mary, in Reservations, has been extremely helpful. She has emailed suggestions and kept in touch whilst I was collating dates and availability - an excellent example of fabulous customer service.

Keeping it Simple

An easy to navigate website, good clarity on terms and conditions, one of the easiest sites I've used for entering voucher codes too. Very straightforward booking process, with immediate acknowledgement and confirmation.

Always get the best price

Instant confirmation via email which very clearly detailed what I had booked. I also selected an upgrade a couple of days before my stay but didn’t receive a confirmation. Paula in the Sales Team went above and beyond to get it confirmed for me when the hotel was being difficult. I have used this company several times now and I always get a great price through them.

Great options and great deals

Really good experience and found plenty of great deals. An option to save and compare hotel room and particular rates would have been nice as I had to get a load of tabs open and keep opening the website and re-searching the criteria. Other that that, can’t complain. I like the categories you have, in case you’re looking for a particular thing, ie. Foodie getaways or kid friendly etc

Additional charges / do not trust original quote!

Initial booking was an intuative and straight forward process. I selected the necessary options and was happy with the price and proceeded with the booking. This was the followed up with a call to state that even though a single child was selected, in the small print this is added to the original quote and will be an addition. nice! no problem i will pay the additional and proceed. A second call later that morning, the original room is now not sufficient and there will now be second additional charge? Immdeiate refund requested for what is clearly a miss advertised process that the attempts to lever additional charges out of the customer. Avoid this provider!

The attitude of the staff was…

The attitude of the staff was excellent. The hotel was described to me as a 3* hotel with a 6* staff and I would endorse that opinion. Without fail they were pleasant, polite, friendly and helpful. The room although not lavish was comfortable and clean. The menu was quite extensive and the food well cooked
