The Vineyard Hotel is known for its generous rooms, some featuring lovely artwork, and many guests appreciate the dog-friendly accommodations with provided beds, treats, and bowls. The spa is a highlight, often described as light and bright, with mixed sauna and steam facilities.

Service and Room Temperature Problems

peeling wallpaper dry pastries

I encountered problems with the room temperature. It was uncomfortably hot. Staff offered a fan, this did not solve the underlying problem. The room looked tired, with visible spills and peeling wallpaper. The service at dinner was not attentive. The waitress seemed disinterested when my husband mentioned his steak was too fatty. Breakfast was disappointing. Avocado on toast was mush, and pastries were dry.

dirty patio missing extractor fan

The food and drinks met my expectations. The wines especially were excellent.

The room's patio was not clean. Bird poop covered the floor. The bathroom lacked an extractor fan, a basic amenity I expect. These details significantly detracted from what should have been a flawless experience.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. My room included a coffee machine with plenty of coffee pods. The workspace in my room was fantastic (it helped me stay productive). Dinner was delicious, and the restaurant offered an elegant, peaceful setting.

During check-in, I was not informed about the additional service charge at the bar. I noticed it only when I received the final bill.
