Guest Reviews
- Mandy (4/5): Dated, worn and stained. - Good location for the wedding we were attending. The carpets in the public areas and bedrooms were dirty and full of stains. The bedroom furniture was dented and dated. Bathroom grout black in places.
- Margaret (8/5): - Close to M5 for our onward journey. Warm and clean room. Nice restaurant with good food , Good breakfast. Great staff all very helpful. We had a small double my own fault as I didn't read the small print . I thought it was a small double room, but it was the actual double bed that was smaller than normal. So not much room to stretch out with two people.
- Richard (8/5): The Gables was a charming hotel and yes I would stay again! - Breakfast was very good. Lots of choice. N/A
- Sozer (8/5): -
- Marcia (8/5): Very enjoyable, helpful staff & standard if cleanliness very high - Extremely clean & well appointed
- Martha (9/5): -
- Cheryl (10/5): Absolutely fabulous clean friendly hotel - Friendly welcome , close to badminton horse trial This is the Third time we have stayed , the new restaurant is comfortable and the food was great , we ate every night from the menu and nothing disappointed us at all , the offers are good and very reasonably priced , the rooms are clean , quiet , and dog friendly , the king size bed was so comfortable , you can ask at reception for tea and coffee milk toilet rolls etc all restock you can ask for and take to your room when retiring like we did every night as the receptionist is there all the time , the rooms are not serviced as in other hotels , but I myself liked this as you was not disturbed and it’s more private plus having it as pet friendly room means your dog was not upset by comings and going of staff , we stayed for 6 days and did not have any problems with there services , the bar staff (ladies) were great and enjoyed a laugh and conversation , breakfast is plentiful and good price if staying few days , I can highly recommend this hotel and will look forward to coming back again Nothing to dislike
- Louise (5/5): Very helpful staff, clean, good location for what we needed - Location  Mattress … comfortable Disappointed with the coffee selection at breakfast, but understand the costs
- Anthony (8/5): Comfortable stay - Comfortable spacious room Very small portions in the Restaurant
- Catherine (8/5): Great stay! - Great location, very friendly staff, clean rooms. Restaurant was very good. Normal breakfast selections. Had 3 dinners in the restaurant which We're all really good. The salmon entree was delicious and steak was some of the best I've had Only complaint is that my shower /tub water seal for shower wasn't that good so water seeped on the floor.
- Julie (7/5): -
- Cameron (8/5): We enjoyed staying at this Hotel , however the bed was a definite low point. - Conveniently located, easy access to the motorway. Bed was really too small. Bathroom light quit working.
- Liza (10/5): Fab for our needs! - Location was perfect for our needs Not enough garden space for dogs to roam/potty, considering dog/pets are welcome.
- JACK (9/5): Great but would prefer downstairs room - N/A
- Maureen (4/5): Poor reception on arrival, no bedspread, tv not working -
- Fiona (10/5): -
- Liz (8/5): A good well-located hotel. - Room was bigger than expected as it was called a small double. Generous amounts of coffee and tea in the room. Good breakfast. There was no body wash in the container in the bathroom. The coffee at breakfast was lukewarm.
- Irza (10/5): -
- Amanda (8/5): Just what I needed. - The reception team were friendly and helpful. The location was perfect. The Marco restaurant and bar is lovely, the food was great! The atmosphere created at breakfast.
- David (8/5): -
- Phillip (10/5): 👍🏻 - Everyone & everything was just right
- Joanne (9/5): -
- Anne (7/5): - Room Didn’t top up the tea without asking
- Saffron (8/5): Perfect affordable base - Food was great N/a
- Julia (8/5): -
- Peter (3/5): Terrible never again want my money back - Location Had a function on 16th birthday party with live band and I wasn't told. No sleep until 12am then the clocks went forward. Horrible disaster of a stay. TELL GUESTS THERE WILL BE A PARTY. ridiculous. Never again I want a refund.
- John (10/5): Quality Rest and Relaxation - Very well presented hotel, offering comfort and quality.
- Stella (9/5): Friendly, convenient and great food. - Perfectly situated for a motorway stopover. Private car park. Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent restaurant on site. First floor bedroom was very hot at night.
- Sharon (8/5): Great place to stay to visit surrounding areas - Restaurant/bar was great, food was lovely. Room was a great size, bed was comfy, little noisy due to window not closing fully but didn’t ruin our stay. Nothing
- Claire (10/5): - The staff were very friendly and attentive
- Kristabelles (6/5): Not for us - Arrived on Thursday evening. Very helpful and friendly check in. Hotel clean and tidy outside and main entrance. Our room was very old fashioned with a 4 poster bed. It must have been years old! There was all glue marks across the top where there must have been some sort of pelmet years ago. Everything was so dated it was like a nursing home. Jacuzzi bath in en-suite didn’t work and shower pressure was awful. We had booked dinner at “Marcos “ but cancelled when restaurant staff couldn’t answer menu questions. Buffet breakfast was included. Thursday morning was ok but Friday was awful. They also squeeze everyone into one side of the room so felt like we dining with other guests. I asked for a tea pot but no members of staff could find one ( they were visible on the bar) We would not return here
- Kelly (5/5): Bad bed - I love the location as its so near the motorway. Everyone is so friendly. Been a few times. The room. I paid a little extra due to a special day. So, I had the queen four poster bed. This was meant to be a special night with my partner. The bed itself was awful. It was so uncomfortable. The noise of the bed was so bad. Every little movement, the wood frame sounded like it was going to break. I was woken at 1 am. as i was so uncomfortable.
- Jonathan (7/5): Good value room, friendly staff - Staff very friendly and helpful Cost of drinks at the bar. Rooms were too warm.
- David (8/5): -
- F2460APjoannat (10/5): Very Comfortable and good food. - Very comfortable room with a lovely bed for a two night stay. Excellent breakfast, very helpful and friendly staff. Also enjoyed a tasty well cooked and served evening meal.
- williamdY4611FK (2/5): Discount offered by manager after problem in the room not given and tried to charge me twice for meals! - Problem led to an offer of bill discount t that did not happen. Also tried to charge me twice for meals that were included in the DBB rate. Manger did not fulfill his promise.
- Andy (10/5): Good value and excellent service - Good location, comfortable beds and good restaurant. Staff were very friendly especially reception on checking in
- Hewer (10/5): -
- Mary (8/5): -
- LouiseLB (10/5): Pleasant stay - Lots of parking. Easy to find. Clean room with everything you need in it. Restaurant on site and an option for room service with a small fee and a good breakfast
- Island_Andrew (10/5): A good hotel in a great location. - It’s in a great location minutes from the M5 but in a rural setting and with plenty of free parking. We have stayed here before and it’s been recently redecorated so it’s all looking very smart inside. A friendly reception and our room was on the ground floor as I requested when booking as there’s no lift. We had a very smart room with a good shower, adjustable heating, great WiFi and plenty of storage for our four-night stay. Lots of power points for chargers too. Although the room faced the A38 it was quiet and we slept very well with just the occasional sound from the road. Breakfast was fine with a help yourself hot and cold buffet, although they need to sort out a way of keeping the plates hot. On weekends it seems that you are served at table. Food is available in the evening but we did not use this facility. Note also that your room is not serviced throughout your stay. A good comfortable hotel at a fair price, we enjoyed our stay.
- Richard (6/5): - Could do with AC very hot in room There was a party/wedding all i heard until midnight was boom boom boom boom boom boom
- Jacqui (2/5): Disappointing. Toilet did not work properly. Tap did not turn off properly. Restaurant, slow - Breakfast good. Room, average. Receptionist, good. Restaurant staff, poor The bathroom. The restaurant
- Debbie (6/5): Enjoyable - Pleased clean and comfortable, food and were good
- John (8/5): - The breakfast was good, although I thought it was included in my original booking, but it wasn't so I had to pay separately for it. I've stayed many times at The Gables, and my one disappointment was when the restaurant was taken over by Marco's which I'm afraid I do not rate at all and no longer eat there.
- Yvonne (6/5): -
- Sheelah (6/5): it was fine for what we wanted except for the bed - nice breakfast. nice meal in restaurant i asked for a soft bed but it felt quite firm so had to ask for more toppers to be put in.
- Alison (8/5): Would stay at the hotel again if ever travelling in that area . - Staff friendly manage to get early check in which was very helpful as we were going to a wedding . Good choice of breakfast in the morning. Room small but clean . Bed was small and pillows very soft .
- John (7/5): -
- Claire (8/5): Comfortable stay with friendly staff. - Breakfast was ok. Unfortunately coffee was cold twice, feel like portion of mushrooms given was too big and also might be worth mentioning to the customer that they need to make own toast if ordering hot food, to avoid food getting cold.
- 696sidneyd (4/5): New Year Celebrations - First impressions it looks ok ,but room was average and window was broken and cold air noise from outside. Service in the evening was ok apart bars were shut during the dinner Service. Breakfast in the morning was laughable as was running out food item continuous and had to keep asking for crockery etc . Staff seem more interested in standing around chatting rather clearing table and reviewing coffee / hot water containers etc. Unfortunately it doesn't give a very good impression of service.
- Stephen (7/5): - Nice room with large bed and good shower. Handy for visiting family in Charfield. Despite asking for a quiet room away from noise we were given a room (211) almost directly above reception area and on busy main A38 road. A room on the quieter side of the hotel would have been better.
- Lisa (10/5): Excellent place to stay - The hotel was clean, comfortable and well equipped, the staff were really friendly and helpful. It was convenient, it was less than 5 minutes off junction 14 of the M5. We would definitely stay there again. It is also dog friendly. Nothing
- Amanda (8/5): A friendly, well presented hotel with everything you could need to be comfortable - It looks very plush from the outside and it’s situated close to the M5 so it was ideal for breaking up a long northbound journey . Nicely presented /decorated. Looked and smelled lovely in the corridors ! Breakfast - cooked - was very very good. Staff were lovely. I’d stay again. The rooms are oddly scruffy in places - as in elements need to be updated. Not anywhere obvious to walk the dog. The dog charge is excessive compared to other hotels, and it’s a bit misleading about how much it’ll cost when you’ve booked through Booking.com.
- Andrew (4/5): Ok for one night - Near to family Poor signs, easy to miss. TV not working, not told when checking in,receptionist was unhelpful when told in the morning. The room was very hot when we arrived,but if we opened the window, there was a lot of car noise as our room was near the road. We have stayed here before & it was better last time.
- imogen (9/5): - Very happy No problems
- Gill (9/5): Thank you - Warm and welcoming Breakfast only one price and very expensive if you only want cereal and toast.
- David (10/5): -
- Nicky (8/5): -
- Kevin (8/5): -
- Bushby (8/5): -
- david (8/5): Staff very proffesional but corners cut show up in food offering - The "exceptional" breakfast seems to have slowly reduced its worth over the years. Had egg and smoked salmon option at a supplement. Eggs were served only lukewarm after a short period of placing the order. No seasoning in eggs . Basic coffee, brewed thin, etc .
- ryan (7/5): -
- Nigel (10/5): -
- Matthew (1/5): Nowhere near worth what we paid - Good location Bed was rock solid, shower kept running by itself and we booked at same time as other guests and charged considerably more
- John (3/5): No more than average - Breakfast average Location good No daily service of rooms Shower unit faulty Door difficult to shut without banging
- Nigel (4/5): - Breakfast was good Twin beds were narrow and very uncomfortable
- Hewer (7/5): -
- annemE7592DN (10/5): Great staff, great food, great room - great experience! - I had 2 nights here, arriving late on a Friday after a nightmare journey through floods/accidents etc. I had plans in Wotton for the weekend, and this was nice and close. I found the receptionists lovely - the chap on when I arrived had been advised of my delays (should have been there for half 3, arrived at gone 6!) and had asked the restaurant to hold my reservation, which was very much appreciated! My room (301) was advertised as a small double, but honestly it was a great size! Lots of space and storage, a fantastic bathroom with walk in (heated floor) rainfall shower, coffee maker (Dolce Gusto which does need instructions, and if you make a cappucino use BOTH pods!) plenty of heating and fan options, good towels, black out blinds and curtains - in all honesty it was brilliant - the mattress was a little firm for me, though. It was a nice quiet room too. I ate at the restaurant both nights, alone and with friends, having calamari, steak, prawns, pasta, salads and desserts, and all were good quality, fresh, hot (not the salads, lol!) and thoroughly enjoyed. The breakfasts were great too, hot, good quality - yay for decent sausages! - and there was a good selection of everything you could want. The staff were all good, particularly Kaitlyn in the restaurant, she's definitely an asset! My only issue is the signage as you arrive in the dark - it's hard to see, not sure if a bulb has gone on the sign? Overall value was great, and I'd recommend The Gables to anyone, and I will definitely be back.
- Marco Martinelli (9/5): - Accogliente, personale disponibile e gentile, letto comodo, colazione per standard europei cara ma buona e varia La doccia aveva sifone intasato
- Key Worker (10/5): -
- Brian (7/5): Still happy but could have been really happy! - A really good welcome. Given an upgraded room which was of a very good quality. The room was not cleaned as throughly as what we normally see in the rooms. Floor not hovered. Sinc not cleaned!
- Natalie (5/5): Does the job. - Convenient location to meet friends for a family friendly food and sleeps night. Plenty of parking. Dog friendly (friends brought their dogs). Service was very friendly. The rooms are very dated, to the point of feeling a quite shabby. The food in the restaurant was mediocre. The service, whilst very friendly, was haphazard. The majority of the drinks published in the menu weren’t available, including cocktails, beers, wines, and soft drinks.
- Sharon (10/5): - Very clean and comfortable
- stephens473 (10/5): 10 out of 10 - We were greeted by a very friendly receptionist who quickly acknowledged my rewards status .We had a beautiful room on the ground floor, a large comfy bed , a sitting area , large desk and chair all beautifully appointed. There were over 12 USB sockets so no problem plugging in our phones etc. A very well stocked amenities tray ,kettle ,cups etc. The shower room was state of the art with a heated mirror with digital clock , good quality toiletries and push button controls for the excellent shower. This was one of the cleanest hotels we have ever stayed in. Breakfast was amazing with all the usual pastries, cereals ,yogurts ,fruit and a very wide selection of cooked food including fried bread ,delicious. A faultless stay and we will stay again.
- Anthony (10/5): THANK YOU FOR A GREAT STOP OVER - GREAT VERY HAPPY
- Nikki (9/5): -
- Robert (9/5): We had a great stay - Very pleasant room, Great Breakfast The TV in the Bar would be better with no sound and subtitles, very annoying.
- Maureen (8/5): -
- Dianne (8/5): Pleasant hotel, would stay again if in the area. - Rooms very adequate. Breakfast very good. Hotel easy to locate. Gurgling noises in the bathroom from the drainage system of the wash basin or the bath when other rooms were obviously using the bathroom facilities.
- Alison (8/5): -
- Angie (8/5): -
- Robert (7/5): -
- Chris (8/5): Good place for short stay near Bristol - Convenient location just off motorway, easy to find. Free car parking and plenty of space. Comfy bed. Overall good value. Breakfast. - reasonable hot and cold selection but single price regardless of choice. Should also offer a lower price for those wanting continental only. Noise levels in hotel corridors. Paper thin walls. Bar pricey.
- Anthony (10/5): - GREAT TIME THANK YOU
- John (8/5): - Very convenient location just off the M5. We used the hotel as a stop over on our return North from Cornwall. Good food available in Marcos restaurant and a hearty breakfast in the morning.
- Darren (8/5): -
- Martina (10/5): -
- Sue (10/5): - The hotel was very clean the staff were very helpful and friendly the food was very nice we ate in the bar area it was very relaxed. If I had one negative it was thst the bed was a little hard it could have done with a mattress topper.
- Philip (10/5): -
- Chris (6/5): - Plenty of parking and easy to find, just off the motorway. Got a good rate for the night and bed v comfortable. Room of reasonable quality although ensuite could do with some refurbishment. Power shower 10/10. My main criticism is that it is a tad noisy, both from the road outside and from creaky floorboards in hallways. Pleasant bar area. Cannot comment in food as did not dine. Perfectly gone for a one night stay.
- Lesley (8/5): 1 night stay - Very dog friendly. Staff excellent.
- Jon (6/5): - Staff were pleasant and helpful, breakfast was better than expected and the bar area is quite nice. Comfortable enough bed but the bathroom was very dated & the shower-head would not stay in place. A septic tank issue during heavy rain caused a slight smell, but only in the conference area. Overall, its adequate for a 1 night stop-over.
- Blackie_X (8/5): Good, clean, comfortable, and reliable - This was my third visit to The Gables, and again I had a very enjoyable stay. All three visits were in order to visit the zoo; the first time being while the zoo was still in its historic location in the Clifden area. For both that and the new location, The Gables is quite convenient, being only a 20-minute drive away. There might be hotels that are more convenient, but some don't have any on-site parking - The Gables has plenty - and I was also happy to stick with the Best Western brand as I find them reliable and I had by now accumulated plenty of points and wanted to supplement them. For this visit, I chose to stay two nights, giving an uninterrupted day at the zoo, and not taking advantage of the other sites in the area. The staff are all very welcoming and friendly and helpful (I needed extra coffee for the machine in the room). The room was great, very clean & comfortable, and a nice bath. The only downside was some traffic noise: the hotel is on the main A38, and although the windows have double-glazing, it's not up to the task. I understand that there are plans to update this quite soon. Despite that, I found that the amount of traffic lessened as it got later, and I was able to get to sleep (although I did use earplugs the second night). When I did wake in the middle of the night, it was silent - the traffic had stopped. So, for me, this is worth noting but not enough to stop me coming back (obviously, as this is my third visit!). I did not include breakfast so I cannot comment on that, but I did choose to eat in the restaurant both evenings. There's nothing else nearby, you would have to drive out to find something. It's mostly pizza, which I didn't want, but there are "large plates" that include lasagne, and "small plates", from which I chose my main, and then dessert. The food was all good, if a little salty, and reasonably priced.
- Chris (4/5): - Where to start. Hotel is dated and needs deep cleaning to start. I doubt Marco has ever set foot in the restaurant, only half of the menu available and what i ordered, half of that had been microwaved from frozen. Staff were good but disappeared for long spells. Had the cheek to add a charge for a tip for themselves ,because after our meal there was no one to speak to, therefore charged to the room. In general the staff were helpful but id say the owners need to take a hard look at what they offer and Marco Pierre Whits needs to pay a visit and see what they are serving up. Will not be going again and will not be recommending this establishment to anyone. Book the Devere up the road for £20 extra and have a lovely stay with better rooms and food.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Good place to stay en route to Cornwall - Friendly and attentive staff. Nice room. Lovely restaurant and able to sit in bar area with our dog. Very convenient as close to the motorway. Only negative point is the lack of anywhere to walk the dog.
- ryan (5/5): - The staff where great We upgraded our room but the bed was so outdated and noisey it you couldn’t move without thinking it was going to fall apart on you.
- robert (8/5): Well used hotel and nice country retreat - Location and quality of rooms
- Clinton (8/5): - Nice staff nice little hotel
- Duncan (3/5): Disappointing. - Staff were friendly and addressed my problems well. Building fabric in a poor condition, rooms 225 and 224, the windows are softwood and rotting, not far off falling out. Room 225 was battered and the standard of repairs and works was poor. Restaurant was poor value for money.
