We had excellent customer service from reception upon arrival after a muddle up with our booking by Expedia. They sorted everything out for us on our behalf. In the restaurant, Ollie was very helpful, even though it was only his 5th day! He had a very pleasant manner and gave no indication that it was only his first week.

Loved our first stay at The Mole Resort. Staff were lovely throughout and the food was delicious! We'll definitely be back! Constructive criticism is that the Pavilion needs updating and there could be a lot more signs directing you to places.

Strange checkin process, reception is at the Hub not in the Hotel, I may have missed communication on this but a lot of walking about just to check in Car chargers need bettering, current type have no instructions and no staff (5 of them) knew how they worked or more importantly released the cable!

We and our dog had a nice visit to Highbullen. Annoyingly the room we had booked with a dog friendly filter was not in fact dog friendly and so we ended up in a different room type some walk from the main building. The room and food were good but there were relatively minor things that could be done to make the hotel much better - slightly less pumping music over breakfast, nicer changing rooms at the gym and spa, decent lighting for the walk at night between main house and our room, and some TLC of the snooker table.

4/10 Poor

Glynn

Disliked: Cleanliness
Having not stayed here since it became the Mole Resort (stupid name), we were very disappointed with how the hotel is now—an afterthought and clearly not a priority. This hotel used to be great, with great quality service, rooms, and food. However, this venue is now short-staffed in every department, food quality is average, and the rooms are not clean. The check-in was a joke as despite staying in the hotel, we had to walk around the complex to find the check at the bar at the Hub, which is poorly signposted and does not even mention hotel reception. In the main house, you have to walk down the station to the cellar bar each time you want a drink as no staff are around upstairs and join the large queue as again there is not enough staff. The restaurant service is very slow, and shorts and flip-flops are now okay for guests. The loft suite is now above the patio of the cellar bar and is very noisy, with people drinking outside. It was a very disappointing stay, and we will not stay again.
