Dartington Trust

Amazing estate however the hotel was a little disappointing. We were initially given room 37 , it's a little tired and the bathroom was dirty and flooded, the shower trap was disgusting and clogged with hair and dirt, it had never been cleaned. We were moved to a better room, but the bathrooms need updating and the carpets need cleaning. We had a table booked in the onsite pub the food was really good no complaints there, they serve great quality local ingredients and local ales. However the " snug" was freezing, they really need better heating. We will be returning, but will make sure when we book that we are given one of their better rooms. Overall an absolutely amazing venue, just needs a decent general manager to oversee a few issues.

Attended a course in the grounds at Dartington. Course was great, grounds were fantastic. Paid 6 for parking and the parking provider Total Parking Solutions i.e. the agent of the trust decided i was to have a fine from 2pm ish even though i had paid for parking from 9am when i arrived in the morning. Trust uninterested, TPS crooks and myself weighing up wether i have the capacity or the money to fight it. Shocker from the site and the crooks they employ to manage their car parks.

In an effort to minimise the time spent in the morose, gloomy hostel I sought refuge in the coffee shop. I was the only customer. After wondering what on earth was taking so long for my coffee to arrive, I discovered it had been sat on the counter for me to collect and was now cold. The girl serving had decided that staring into her phone was a more urgent task than delivering a drink to the only customer in the room.
