Mamlouk Palace Resort

"We were a party of 5 booked in for a meal. We arrived and was seated in the main dining area. Three of us ordered the teriyaki salmon, 1 the ploughman’s , and the other the chicken Caesar salad. The salad and ploughman’s were both good, but salmon meal was awful! It was so salty that we all left half of our meals. We did tell the waitress. On that evening I was Ill although the other two were ok. It’s two weeks on and my stomach is still not right! Im not sure if the salt was to cover not so good salmon or the rice was reheated. Be careful of what you order."

"Noisy room so loud in the bathroom it was vibrating the bath. Sounded like air con or extractor fan. Poor sleep. Shower either freezing or very hot Two of our party were vomiting after the evening meal. Strange smell in stairwell and corridors"

"What was clearly a grand old house for the wealthy is now simply an old house. I guess we should be blessed that it is still in use and not boarded up with Security signs on the fence. But as an example of a quaint old hotel / pub, it doesn't show England, or Woodhall, off at it's finest. The nicest thing about the whole place was the grand staircase up to the first floor. A sign of things long gone. A corridor of blandness leads to a room of concern. It was fairly dingy, small, a hugely lumpy bed with the only redeeming feature being a new carpet. Climbing into and out of the bathtub to gain a shower approaching 70 years of age, is not something you want to do for long. Breakfast area was nice and the girls working in there were really good. TV didn't work and when reporting it to the reception guy, I may as well have told the pub's cat. Nothing was done about it. Expensive, although I suspect Woodhall Spa generally, rides on the success of the golf course in terms of what they can charge. One to avoid I'm afraid unless they spend 10 million on it and return it to the grandness of the 19th century when it was built..."
