Montigo Resorts Somerset at Charlton House

Really enjoyed the stay. The hotel is absolutely beautiful, set in the sleepy town of Shepton Mallet, lots of lovely places to get a coffee near by: the room we stayed in was beautiful. Special shout out to Lloyd, really took care of myself and my partner and ensured that we had a great stay. Food was great quality. Lots of different events on each week that you have to hook up before arrival.

Not sure where to start pulled up and looked amazing man at reception very nice, went downhill from there already paid for room and breakfast in advance then paid for spa in advance and then they wanted another £50 holding fee. Room wasn’t ready taken for complimentary tea/coffee while waiting we went back 15 mins later and man took us to room which was still being cleaned so back we went to wait another half hour. Finally got into room which was amazing until laid in bed and fell through the middle of the 2 single beds pushed together to make a large bed . Thought we would get a coffee in room but no milk. Went to spa and was very disappointed pool was cold hot tub was full of people so couldn’t use steam room was ok after we put water onto the stone but very small room. Went back to room had shower before dinner but shower was full of flies. Sink so low (great for disabled guests in wheelchair) not for people standing. Went to dinner and not much choice for vegetarians but had the roast as that only choice really. Items not available. Then had dessert which was very overpriced indeed and description wasn’t what the item was to be told that cost £95 one drink each main meal and dessert. Went to breakfast items in menu unavailable again. Went to check out not as friendly as day before paid final bill for food but didn’t get the £50 taken off final bill was told that would appear back on card at some point. Hazard tape on floor carpet dirty and very worn out. Very disappointed not the experience I hoped for and was for husband birthday treat

Update 26th June: I have since emailed the hotel again at which point they declared because I uploaded a bad review they will not offer any compensation for the stay we had. I now see many other guests have had issues with the hotel in recent times, it’s a shame that they are unwilling to compensate guests for issues that could so easily be avoided and affect the whole quality of a stay. I have given them some time to respond to my response asking if they wanted me to take my review down, but no response. Shocking customer service. Some honest feedback about a few issues we encountered on our stay that left us feeling slightly let down, especially given the premium price for a spa hotel. There were several aspects that felt more like lapses in quality and cleanliness rather than character: - The fridge in our room was not working. - The room had visible cobwebs, unclean sealant around the toilet, and an unclean sink. - There was not enough parking when we arrived and my partner had to ask staff where to park. A nice girl moved her car for us. - There were stains in the bathtub and down the bathroom walls, which was quite off-putting. - A screw was found on the floor in the pool area (the far right corner as you stand inside looking to the outside) – something that could have caused injury and we’re pleased to have noticed. - There appeared to be a wasps' nest near the hot tub, and several wasps had fallen into the pool while we were using it. I emailed the hotel with the details of these issues and their response was lacking any real response, merely telling me that my feedback had been recorded and they are “addressing the concerns (I) raised”
