Antrobus Hotel

Went there 16 years ago and it was delightful spotlessly clean with a great breakfast. Return trip this year 345 miles from home ...................... Looked shabby from the outside. Not too bad on entering and paying for one night upfront. The Room was absolutely Awful Mould everywhere and the breakfast wasn't good. We had originally intended to stay for 3 more nights ........but left after that one night

Tired, decrepit and dirty with Fawlty Towers-level service. I’ve attached some photos to illustrate the awfulness. Bathroom was ghastly. Cracked basin, toilet seat falling off, towel rail falling off the wall, unusable shower, bath tap broken and filthy, door lock broken, mould round the bath, door covered in sticky brown spots like someone had sprayed a can of Coke at it. Lovely mould in the breakfast room too. At breakfast on Sunday they’d “run out of butter and weren’t getting a delivery until Tuesday” so I went and bought some from the Co-op 50 yards away. No breakfast available the following morning as “the chef was ill” (and no refund for the non-breakfast). Our host wandered into the breakfast room for a cup of coffee and didn’t even acknowledge our presence, even though we were the only people there. Absolutely astonishing that this is a three-star hotel, the place is massively overpriced, grubby, ramshackle and the service just laughably bad. Avoid at all costs.

Stayed here one night whilst walking through the area. A good central location. The hotel felt historic. The staff were all friendly and helpful . My room was spacious and well appointed. A comfortable bed and little street noise, so I slept very well. Breakfast was average but adequate. I review the restaurant, Smile Thai, elsewhere. Probably the best option in Amesbury for a short stay.
