Gillham Vineyard Hotel

This is potentially a lovely hotel with very friendly members of staff ( but who need intensive training for the tasks they do). Sadly the delivery of the 'stay' left much to be desired. Simple to fix but needs doing. There is new management at the hotel and it needs to flex it's "muscles" and on the 'hurry up'. Many of the fittings in the bedroom and bathroom were flickered, wobbled or smelt of drains. Cats everywhere and mewing into the night at the room door. The food bills were far too expensive for the mediocre quality of food offered . This is also a vineyard but the restaurant ,wine bar.... and wine tastings ran out of white wine. You could not make this up. Imagine setting out to a complex dinner and a large food bill to follow with no white wine available , and all because they ran out of their wine. Basil Faulty lives again ! The Management need to get off their seats and buy in more stocks. Smoking is allowed outside but within the food eating areas. Hmmmm Not for me.

We had a great one-night stay for my wife's birthday. We loved the beautiful location in the hills with a view of the sea. The staff were very polite, professional, and always ready to help, which was a nice surprise. They even made a special cake for my wife's birthday and decorated the room before we arrived. The spa was also excellent. Even though it's a top winery, they didn't have any local Efes beer and could have done with a couple of extra vegetarian meals on the menu, but this is a minor issue. We will definitely come back one day! A well deserved 5* review
