DGCC, General Manager at Best Western The Dartmouth Hotel Golf & Spa, responded to this review
Good morning, Thank you very much for leaving such positive feedback about your visit to The Dartmouth Hotel Golf and Spa. We are extremely glad to you hear that you had a great day with us and that you were made to feel welcome and comfortable in the Spa. We are lucky that we have good facilities that guests can enjoy and we are happy that you were able to enjoy them to the full. We hope that you came away feeling relaxed and rejuvenated after your deep tissue massage and chocolate brownie! We will pass your comments on about the calming music in the sauna and steam room to our Spa Manager, unfortunately, we do not think we would be able to have speakers in there due to the moisture in the air. It is definitely something we will look into for the future though. Thank you again for taking the time to give us such positive feedback, we hope to see you again soon for a second serving of brownie!

DGCC, General Manager at Best Western The Dartmouth Hotel Golf & Spa, responded to this review
Dear Santabarbara89, Thank you for taking the time to post your review on trip advisor and we are sorry to see you were disappointed with your stay. I am truly sorry there was an overbooking in the 3 bed lodge you had originally booked and that our reservations team did not contact you when this was immediately apparent, we don’t actually have 4 bed lodges. I am aware that you had spoken with our reservations manager in detail prior to your arrival and having discussed this with your husband accepted the family room offered including the offer and acceptance of complimentary breakfast for our error. The family room offered did have two smaller beds located within them for the youngsters within your family but we were not made aware that you were unhappy with the room offered during your stay. There was a wardrobe within the room which is an “open wardrobe” with hangers and hanging space for your convenience. The room is and was cleaned daily as commented by you, however, the housekeeping team does not move personal positions belongings/clothes of guests for obvious reasons. We are delighted that you had the opportunity to use and enjoy the spa facilities and again apologies for this overbooking. Kind Regards, Lydia Rootes Sales and Marketing Executive The Dartmouth Hotel Golf and Spa
