9 of my family (range of ages) stayed at Uplands this month for a sad occasion (family death), but the hotel was one of the comforting aspects of the whole week. We booked the hotel on laterooms for a great price £39 b&b, which was cheap compared to all hotels in the area for the dates we needed. Plus for... more

Having relatives in the area and visiting regularly we came across the £39 a night Uplands. Yes it is badly in need of a total refurbish which we were told would be happening in stages,but it is clean and has extremely pleasant staff. A night is probably long enough here but with a hearty breakfast it is hard to beat... more

Having seen some of the reviews we were a little concerned but at the price we paid willing to give it a go. We were joined by friends for a weekend break. The reception, restaurant and bar areas were fine, tired in places but clean with welcoming friendly staff. Our rooms were clean and yes in need of a refurb... more

My OH booked a double room, after climbing miles up narrow staircases we came to room that you'd have a struggle swinging a rat in, never mind a cat. I have never seen such a small 'double' bed. OK him and I are a couple of heffers, but Posh Spice and Frankie Dettori would have had trouble squeezing into it!!!... more

This is the worst De Vere venues hotel I've ever stayed in... Can't believe i was so stupid not to i) look at tripadvisor first ii) realise that it was going to be bad after the website had no images of the rooms! I was thinking... DeVere.. how bad could it be? Well... very bad indeed!!! Arrived on a Friday... more

This is obviously a business training facility not a proper hotel. Firstly is was very reasonable considering the area... I paid £69 in an area I regularly have to spend £130 - £140 for a 4 star venue. What is particularly confusing is the De Vere Venues badge. I (probably incorrectly) assumed that at a minumum it would have the... more

I booked a room here and then checked on Tripadvisor, something I usually do the other way around. After reading some of the reviews I was very close to cancelling and I'm now very glad I didn't. I booked the place purely as somewhere to stay the night before a course and at £39/night including breakfast I knew it wasn't... more

we have just returned from a 2 day stay at this hotel, instead stayed 1 day and came back home, the room was very shabby the eiderdown on the bed was all stained and not seen a washing machine in a long time, very uncomfortable bed and only 1 pillow, room needed a thorough good clean, would not recommend . more

Admittedly we did get this hotel for a great price of £39, but even so, I wasn't worth it! We stayed in the Coach House building, which was poorly furnished and tatty. I haven't seen such a old portable TV since the 90's! My biggest problem was the bed. It was the most unfortable bed I have ever had the... more
