Second stay shared with 2 wedding parties

We re booked this hotel for a second stay 1 week after our first visit as we were so pleased with the first stay.
BUT.... our second stay was very poor.
There were two weddings and other functions on and, despite being advised differently by reception, the wedding party were all over the hotel.
No bar....delay in accessing dining room, busy noisy breakfast.
Reception told us we could use the golf club bar a simple 2 minute walk away.
This walk was least 10 to 16 minutes across grass.....and it was raining torrentially.
The restaurant was ok as before, but loss of bar was annoying. As was the constant noise from the wedding party.

Hi Richard,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're genuinely sorry to hear that your second visit didn’t live up to the positive experience you had the first time.

We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to face unexpected disruptions due to the weddings and other events taking place. We sincerely apologise that we weren’t able to inform you of this in advance. We will review our communication processes and will be requesting that the hotel notify us of any upcoming events so we can better inform our guests and help them plan accordingly.

It’s great to hear that the restaurant continued to meet your expectations, and we truly hope we’ll have the opportunity to help you with a more peaceful and enjoyable break in the future.

Thank you again for your valuable feedback.

Kind Regards,
Lauren

Lovely Liverpool

Smooth rail journeys both ways (despite the Tube strike on the way there) ; very satisfied with the Novotel Paddington Village hotel which was in a good location. Excellent meals, both breakfast and dinner.
Easy getting around either on foot or via bus [my freedom pass gave me free travel]. I saw a lot in this City and everyone I encountered was very friendly.

Unsurpassed travel help

I was thrilled to bits with Great Little Breaks. They were real live human beings, who listened to what I wanted, came up with excellent solutions, quickly, and even saved me quite a bit of money. Like the Good Old Days of Real Travel Agents, and then some. Thank you so much. I've already been telling my friends about you!

Lovely hotel with friendly, helpful staff in beautiful Cotswold village. Dinner and breakfasts were excellent. The day at Blenheim was most enjoyable and made the break very good value.
