Hiya Craig, I was watching 😂 it popped up as a Subscriber Recommendation. You're absolutely right about personal circumstances and experience- I don't drive so need to be close, I didn't have a great check-in experience and so on. I'd repeat that 'worst' doesn't mean 'bad', it simply means that in my experience, every other hotel I've stayed in at Heathrow was better than this one, which by default makes it the worst - until we have an international standard to measure hotels by. All we can do is all put our experience out there and hopefully people will add together the things that I've said, you've said, TripAdvisor, Google reviews etc... and form a rounded opinion. None of us individually can tick all of the boxes that matter to someone else. Love your work buddy and thanks for thinking of me 👍🏻

Hi Craig Thanks for taking the time to video review our accommodation. It sounds like you had a mixed experience at Belmore Court & Motel. It's great to hear that you found the staff friendly and welcoming and that the room had useful amenities like the kitchenette and a comfortable bed. However, it's unfortunate that there were several issues that affected your stay, such as noise, dampness, and cleaning concerns. From listening to your review, these are the main points: Pros: Friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable bed. Useful kitchenette with necessary amenities. Convenient location near Tesco and Asda. Cons: Noisy location due to traffic and thin walls. Damp issues and cleanliness concerns, including cobwebs and mold in the bathroom. Limited facilities: no bar or restaurant on-site. No plug sockets near the bed. Our town centre location may be traffic noise from time to time. Our Standard rooms are in the older building, and there may be an element of sound from other rooms. We have a 24-hour reception if this is excessive. We have rectified the room's dampness and spoken to housekeeping about the cobwebs. We are also reviewing the towles positioning. the limited facilities help us provide a better service with what we are good at. There are many bars and restaurants within walking distance. Once we refurb these rooms, we will add additional power sockets - you can never have too many. For future stays, I recommend contacting Belmore Court & Motel directly for any special requests or to discuss room options that might better meet your needs. Booking directly can sometimes provide the best rates and availability. Maybe try the Superior Rooms and our fab breakfast next time? Thanks again for the comments. Terry

It’s Newtownards meaning new town on high as the original ancient settlement was on Scrabo hill. In the Middle Ages the settlement shifted to around where the old cross stands. As I come from here I’ve never felt the need to stay at the Strangford Arms. I have always heard it was a good hotel. Surely a nice quiet hotel is what most visitors want ? They have to work with what they’ve got they can’t demolish the buildings around to give better views and the Ards shopping centre , the first in N.Ireland is there to stay ! The extension was built some time in the 1980’s , and yes is like most modern architecture…ugly. Come back anytime !,, 😂

I stayed there one night on a Trafalgar tour in 1996. I was so happy to be in Scotland that there was no negative comments from me. Though I did stay in better hotels during the tour. Loved the area and was thrilled to find the Eagle Stone on an early morning walk.
