With 7 of us in the party, including two young children - we booked the Bulstone's Christmas package, staying a total of 5 nights. The owners, Judith and Kevin, could not do enough to ensure we had a memorable stay. The hotel is very homely and comfortable and Judith's cooking is both interesting and varied. The only criticsm, if you... more

My main motivation for posting a negative review is my fear that some family might book this for their main holiday of the year, spending loads of money (it's not cheap - £110 a night) only to be very disappointed. The outside of the building is very grubby and inside feels a bit tatty and unloved. We wanted somewhere child... more

On arrival the hotel does look run downand is a rated at two star qulaity, rooms are disapointing. Granny and I stood looking worriedly at each other in the car park whilst the men braved first encounter. What makes it so family friendly though is the baby monitoring, large play room and early childrens tea (and high tea for adults).... more

This is a wonderful hotel which in my opinion is ideal for families as it specialises in having families with children. This takes the presure off you worrying about your child crying and disrupting people who are also in the hotel as everyone else also has children. So you don't have to worry if the child is slightly noisy. The... more

As parents of two young children we were very relieved to find a hotel which didn't compromise on smoking. Some hotels we've stayed at seemed to allow the selfish and the ignorant to flout regulations which are aimed at protecting the health and environment of other guests. We were pleased to discover that this isn't one of them. The sea... more

my family and i enjoyed our stay at this hotel and couldn't fault it in any way. Kevin and Judith provide such a wonderful service. What other hotel do you stay at where you have the use of a kitchen with two microwaves and a fridge freezer to make your picnic for the next day. The Garden is lovely and... more

Repeat business tells its own story. We and our two sons have stayed several times. We commonly meet fellow guests who are on their second, third, fourth or more visit. We find Kevin and Judith are friendly and work hard to ensure their guests needs are met. Some of our (adult) evening meals have been of the highest quality -... more

We arrived in pouring rain, looking for somewhere to warm our hearts and entertain the kids on our anniversary weekend. As soon as we pulled into the car park with its cracked concrete, caravan on stilts and general reclamation site, our hearts sank. Reception was an automated phone which beckoned a nervous looking man dressed as a boy scout (the... more

Where to start... Channel 5, if you read this review this hotel needs to be in the next series of The Hotel Inspector! Ok, the hotel is in a village of Branscombe in Devon. They sell this as a feature, however, Branscombe is the longest village in England and this hotel is way out of the village itself. The roads... more

Management response from
BULSTONE, OWNER

Thankyou for the chance to reply to the review, we tried very hard to accomodate the families requirements during the 1 night stay with us. Cre4dit cards yes we do accept cards in payment but do ask if time for a deposit by post as I find these more manageable and it also allows to us to communicate with the...

As extremely satisfied customers of the Bulstone Hotel for many years, my family and I were amazed by some of the comments made in the Not Impressed review. The proprietors, Mr and Mrs Monaghan have always been very friendly, helpful and indeed generous both to us and all the other clients we have come into contact with over the 9... more
