Best Western Walton Park Hotel

hotel location great but huge one negative - cleanliness. I could add many pictures of it but one info - please, if you say "you are providing extra cleaning becouse of covid" - at least clean mugs and kettle after last guest. Thank you. less

The hotel is situated in an amazing location on the cliffs above the Bristol Channel, there is lovely view of Clevedon pier from the bar, which can be enjoyed with a nice glass of vino 🍷after dark. The hotel is a little tied, but maintains the charm of a vintage hotel. less

We had an early supper here several weeks ago. The food was OK but not memorable. Staff pleasant Social distancing taken very seriously. I felt the whole building looked a bit tired and the eating area particularly so. The bill was quite high for a simple meal but this was due to a couple of by the glass glasses of wine. Possible I'm being a little harsh as this accursed plague makes it difficult for any public catering to be fun. Cannot comment on the hotel itself less

We booked this hotel just as booking was allowed again after lockdown and several weeks ahead of our stay. I fully expected an email about how the Covid 19 regulations would affect our stay before we went, but got nothing. We arrived at about 13.00hrs, on a Monday, and wanted lunch, before being able to check in at 15.00hrs, to be advised that there was no food and the bar would open at 17.00hrs. The receptionist advised us to got to the end of the terrace and turn left and we would find places to eat, but as it was Monday nothing was open except for one baker that had no tables. We made our way back onto the seafront and there were three cafes and a pub open. The hotel is in a fabulous location and is well served for car parking. At check in the rule was that masks be worn in all public area unless eating or drinking. The corridors at the hotel are 6foot wide plus and the Lounge was huge and could have self distanced 20 or more easily. Tea and coffee for your room was handed out at Reception in an envelope and we were advised that there would be no cleaning of rooms. We were due to stay four nights, so had I known I would have taken cleaning materials. The room was large, had a good size TV, looked fairly recently decorated and was the sea view we had paid extra for. The bathroom was decoratively tired and there were only two bottles of shower gel and two of shampoo and no spare loo rolls. The towels were, however, good. We had four evening meals there and only one came any where near being of an acceptable standard. My husband had had better fish and chips at a Wetherspoons, the chees on the jacket potatoes was tasteless and it was just as well that baked beans and tuna had also been ordered. The dish of the day of rolled plaice in a white wine sauce and vegetables was passable. Full English breakfast consisted of 1 rasher of bacon, 1 sausage, 1 egg (scrambled, fried or poached), half a tomato, 1 hash brown and baked beans, orange juice and tea or coffee. There were no cereals, only cereal bars (what was that about?) and a yoghurt if wished and NO MARMALADE ! less

We booked here for a three night stay just to get away for some rest and relaxation. Some might say this hotel is a bit dated but I think it's full of character. Since the COVID-19 pandemic started I can say this is the only place I have been where they are completely commited to following government guidelines. It came as a shock to my wife and I as in London we feel things are really relaxed but here was the exact opposite infact Clevedon on a whole followed the guidelines extremly well. The Walton Park Hotel is very clean, has the friendliest of staff and the food is fantastic. The views across the Severn Estuary are beautiful espeically at sunset. The surrounding area has many walking paths and the area seems to be a favourtie with cyclists as there were alot of them about. If you are looking for a place to get away for a long weekend I can highly recommend the Walton Park Hotel in Clevedon. less
