Calcot Hotel

We are pleased to use the Calcot for Christmas and New Year. We have at least one lunch there as we approach the end of the year.
However the highlight is New Years Eve when we arrive at about 6.30pm and go to our pre-​booked bedroom, relax and nave a nice bath. We then get ready in our dinner suits and dresses and meet up in the bar where we are offered spritzers and canapes. Then we open our bar accounts (but be careful, we had some so-​and-​so put his drinks on our bill one year !) and start on the heavier stuff.
We booked our table when we booked the package so we are shown to it. It is festooned with balloons, poppers and other items. We have also booked our menu in advance and our choices of wine arrive on time. We set about our food and pull crackers and get into the mood. Soft music plays in the background. The meal is savoured fully and as we finish, the plates are taken away and we chat to people on neighbouring tables…
Then the disco starts and we are up, dancing the night way. Just before midnight our pre-​ordered champagne arrives and the countdown starts to a new year.
Ding Dong Hooray !!!
It is now the New Year and people kiss and or shake hands.
More dancing until we take the half empty bottle and our silly paper hats to our room and crash out.
We wake and go down to have a full english breakfast and get home for 10.30am and then start thinking of lunch !!
We met up with a number of people who, like us, have found it a nice way to start a new year… And it is not expensive… BOOK EARLY

I stayed in this hotel with my work and it is not an amazing hotel but then on the other hand it could be a lot worse. The rooms are well presented and have the basic extras that you tend to get i. e tea, coffee, basic kettle. The restaurant was expensive and a lot of the food seemed to be overpriced. However, make sure you try the steak’s, they really were of a good quality. Overall, i would definately say that this is a hotel for business trips.
