Ellington Lodge at the Concorde

Stayed at this hotel for one night and found it general OK, apart from the safe in the room didn't work and when queried with reception was told that non of the safes in the rooms worked!! . Also the Aircon didn't work also and with the vents on machine it was visible in need of service and very dirty. To sum up the hotel it was very tired and in need of updating generally.

Lovely stay at the Ellington Lodge, Room was very spacious and spotless and the bed was really comfortable. Room service was excellent, just ask at reception and they will arrange this for you. Staff were very friendly and helpful and breakfast in the atmospheric Moldy Fig Restaurant was gorgeous. We had a garden room with table and chairs just outside the French doors. This is a wonderful little hotel in a woodland setting, we recommend it to all our friends.

Myself and two colleagues stayed at Ellington Lodge after playing at the Concorde Club. The rooms and the venue generally were very comfortable indeed, at a very reasonable price. The high point for me was breakfast, Faith, who served us, was the epitome of friendly, knowledgeable, attentive professionalism. Individuals like Faith are a great asset to any organisation. We'll look forward to our next visit.

We booked a room here before a very early flight, part of the benefit being free parking. The room was perfectly adequate, clean and comfortable although we did find the three-quarter size bed a bit small. Part of the same operation is The Concorde Club, which we discovered is an amazing and legendary music venue. In fact they were gearing up for a big weekend of music the day we were there. The restaurant and bar is called The Moldy Fig. I had a lovely rib-eye steak and couldn't fault it. Inside the restaurant and bar are pictures of many very famous artists who have played there over the years.. from Alan Price to Stephan Grappelli. I noted that each piece of background music being played had been carefully chosen to reflect artists who have played there.. a really nice touch I also had the privilege of meeting the founder and owner of the whole shebang Mr Cole Mathieson. A charming and modest man. That certainly made my evening! We've decided that we will always be staying here before any early flights, but will book a garden room. Thanks to all the staff!

Stayed at this hotel for one night as part of a cruise parking deal, which included parking dinner bed and breakfast and taxi to and from the port. On arrival the receptionist Lisa was very friendly and informative. We had booked a standard room, but we were given a garden room as a upgrade, which was a lovely room and very clean. Dinner was disappointing the fish was soggy, and full of oil. The pork dish was awful,we did complain and they took off the price of the two drinks we purchased. Breakfast was excellent and delicious with a good choice of hot and cold food, and service was very good. We would definitely stay here again but maybe next time give the dinner a miss.

We booked a package deal, dinner bed & breakfast to see Snake Davis. Check in was friendly and prompt. We had room 3 on the ground floor, it was dated and smelt a bit musty, the net curtains could have done with a wash. However the bed and bedding was very clean as I checked it over thoroughly as I have bed bug phobia and felt at ease with the cleanliness. We popped into the mouldy fig for a sandwich, service was prompt and sandwich was of good quality. We ate in the Concorde club in the evening, the service was a bit slow but we wasn’t in a hurry. Food was reasonable and flavourful. Breakfast was served in the mouldy fig, not well organised at all, had to ask for bowls for fruit/cereal, not a good buffet selection of fruits. Had to put bread through the toaster twice to get it properly done. The cooked breakfast was very nice and well presented. Reception staff Lisa was very helpful. We would return as it’s a welcoming venue.
