Gomersal Lodge Hotel

On arrival, I was met by a lovely lady who booked me in for my stay. The bed was ok..

I stayed at this property for one night on the 28th December. It was apparent as soon as I entered the premises that despite being December the heating was not on. It was also off in my room meaning my room was freezing. The towels they left for me to use were old and ripped and the hotel had an unpleasant food aroma throughout my whole stay. I had booked the hotel for 1 night to spend the evening at a family party. After attending the family party I arrived back at the property around midnight. The taxi could not enter or drive up the driveway as the electric gate was unexpectedly closed. The reception had not told me anything at check-in about the gate being closed at night or how I could get it to open. I rang the number I was given for assistance on my arrival and they assured me that they were on their way down to open it. The taxi could not stay as he had another job. After 10 minutes standing in the freezing cold and rain waiting for help that never arrived, I decided to climb the 6ft wall and walk the remaining 200m up the driveway to the hotel. In the morning I woke up and had a lukewarm shower so I was ready to leave at 0815. I jumped in my car, and drove down the drive to find the gate shut again. I rang the number over 30 times to no answer. There was no-one on reception and the property seemed to be abandoned apart from one other guest who was an older lady who had also been trying to leave since 0730 and having the same problem as me. After walking round the reception area I finally found another potential number to ring which put me through to another hotel in the area. The kind gentleman who I got through to at the other hotel rang the owner of my hotel personally, and FINALLY got the gate open at 0910 allowing myself and the other guest to leave.

Nothing, the room was inhabitable. We left after the staff said they would give a refund but this was a lie. We are still waiting for our money back.

The flooded floor, the spiders, the damp, the rotten wood work, the mould, the cramped room, the loud party going on, the groups of men hanging around smoking odd substances.

the location

freeeezing no heating came on! was dying cold

I liked how quiet it was & also the location

The bathroom was small but suitable for a night or 2

Nothing!

Gomersal Lodge is not what is presented on website, there is no food, no bar, no breakfast option. No heating, damp and cold, no-one was helpful, a very disappointing stay, this needs addressed and taken down off website, our very disappointing stay led us to cutting short our weekend as none of the issues were fixed particularly the heating, I was with family, one 84 years old another with health conditions, we were visiting family, the accommodation spoilt our weekend, more than disappointed!

The room was really nice, and nice views outside

Only one towel for two people

Nice location! The building is a charming grade II listed structure surrounded by nature. The owner was friendly, and the check-in process with the staff member was straightforward. I stayed in room 1, and the bed was comfortable, with clean bedding providing a good night's sleep. The shower worked well, and the basic amenities were sufficient for my needs, offering decent value for the price. There's a local shop about 10 minutes away for any necessities. If you're not overly concerned about aesthetics and prioritize a comfortable stay with simple amenities, this place is worth considering. Support the owner and enjoy a decent stay. Checking the previous reviews I was worried to book but to be honest, the stay exceeded my expectations.

Certainly room for improvement. The bar and dining area, though depicted in photos, aren't operational, potentially causing confusion for guests who expect to use these facilities. Breakfast isn't offered, but a local shop is conveniently nearby, and there's the option of Deliveroo. The rooms show signs of aging and could benefit from a refresh to attract more guests. It can get a bit noisy due to the building's age, but there's limited scope for improvement in that regard. The light bulb in that room could do with replacing to a natural colour one as it was bad for the eyes. Despite these aspects, the place holds significant potential and could become a gem in the area with some enhancements. I will definitely book again when next in the area.
