DO NOT STAY HERE! - RUDE & IGNORANT
Booked Baldwin House for a stay over as we booked a family trip to West Midlands Safari Park with myself my wife, 4 year old and 6 month year old baby Having visited the park during the day and had dinner we headed to the hotel at approximately 10pm not knowing last check in was at 8pm as this wasn't made obvious - an easy oversight. I called the hotel when we got there as it looked closed and the phone was answered by the owner Dave with a very rude Yes!?. I ignored this, and asked why the hotel was closed and he began to rudely explain how the hotel in closes at 8pm and I am lucky he is even answering the phone! So I apologised profusely to which he said, Yes you should be! he then said you are lucky you have a baby with you and proceeded to disconnect the call! He then came down and opened the door and shouted at me saying "Where's the rest of them!" at the point I felt I had been disrespected enough and was ready to turn back or find another hotel, but had to think of my 6 month old. We then grabbed our things and came to the front desk where matters got worse! He saw my 2 children and said the rooms only booked for 1 child! and I explained I can show him the booking, he said "You can show me what you want, I don't care!". After 5 mins he realised that I was correct and the booking was for 2 children on his system. He then said I didn't book with Hotels.com and told me I booked with expedia! I said the booking comes across as Expedia but he called me a liar!

Response from Baldwin House on 8 Sept,2023
I wholly dispute this inaccurate, untruthful, and defamatory review. You arrived in the street at 22:06 and throughout the late check-in process you repeatedly advised me that the online travel agent site you used to make the booking (hotels.com) did not inform you that our property has limited check-in times, when in fact, it is stated twice during their booking process.We have limited check-in times for two main reasons:1)So as not to disturb our other guests (many of whom return time and time again) with the “clatter” of arrivals late at night, let alone the loud arguments that you were pursuing during check-in.2)Our room tariffs reflect the level of service, and so the availability of check-in staff – so you, the Guests benefit from lower tariffs than would be applied if we were to operate as a hotel with 24hr check-in/reception services.Had you contacted us prior to arrival to advise of a late check-in, with a valid reason, then like many of other guests, we can usually accommodate these. However, rolling up after hours, expecting the property to be unlocked and opened is unacceptable.When we realised that there was a risk of you not arriving during our check-in times, like all other cases, we tried to contact you directly. A call was placed to your mobile phone number at: 19:21 however the call was terminated by you prior to commencement.Had it not been for the fact you were travelling with children, then you are correct in assuming that you ran the risk of being denied entry to the property, this again is to ensure that our other guests are not disturbed.I do suggest that next time you travel with your young family that you take the time to read the terms, facilities and access arrangements for your chosen property which should help avoid the ugly scene that you created here at BALDWIN HOUSE last week, which did infact disturb some of my other guests and their enjoyment of their stay here.

Convenient location and a nice breakfast
I stayed for one night to judge at a nearby show. This is a period listed building with a lovely breakfast room, a friendly owner and a delightful Spaniel puppy. I had a standard single en suite room as I was on a tight budget. It was basic, but fine for me for one night. It had a good TV with plenty of choice of channels. There is a very welcome room fridge, so I was happy with that. There are nice places to eat within easy walking distance and it is close to the very picturesque canal basin. The breakfast was nice - £9.50 extra. Slight frustrations - parking is difficult on the street outside if there is a function in the nearby RBL Hall. However, I moved my car there in the morning to load up so not an issue. There is a free car park about 200m away. The power cord in the shower had broken, so no hot water as I could not reach the control, so could not shower. I explained this to the owner, and I do not think he knew about it, so I feel sure that he will have fixed it by now. The pine-slatted bed was a bit creaky, but actually very comfortable for me, so I had a good night's sleep.

Weekend in Stourport
Most welcoming and convivial. Room clean and comfortable with replenished refreshments each day - the upgrade to a bedroom with an en suite was a most unexpected bonus. Coming and going as one pleased made it feel very homely. Grateful thanks.

This place is tired
Very mixed- proprietor and his dog are lovely, but the bathroom in the family room is awful. Tiny outdated shower cubicle with leaks onto the floor, cracked old yellowing sealant and a tired wonky loo that flushed on third try. The main areas (bedroom floor etc) were perfectly clean but plenty of dusty corners/ under chairs/ door panel edges to notice and feel a bit ‘ugh’ about. Broken light shade. The food however was delicious. Overall not worth the 100 a night with breakfast on top.

Dave is a star!
Dave is very helpful and friendly, and "goes the extra mile". Baldwin House is a lovely Georgian building, and the view of the garden made a super breakfast even more enjoyable. We both fell in love with Dave's beautiful, well-behaved spaniel.....What a poppet!

Fantastic stay at the Baldwin House
Lovely stay from the start to finish. Dave was friendly, attentive and very helpful. The house of historical interest is well presented with two bars and restaurant and is located near to the town centre. The room was lovely, spacious and comfortable. The bed was extremely comfortable, nice work fest and rest area with a mini fridge and little microwave oven. The WIFI is super fast and reliable for work and pleasure. The bathroom was clean and spacious, unfortunately the spa function on the bath was not working (Dave advised me of this on arrival) but there was plenary of hot water for a bath or for the separate powerful rain shower. I will be looking forward to my next stay at The Baldwin Hose.

Lovely, quiet location
Dave contacted me prior to arriving and was so accommodating on arrival at the property. I made an error when booking and Dave was fine with this and altered my error immediately. We had the balcony room with a lovely 4 poster bed, it was lovely and clean and the road was a lot quieter than expected. Breakfast was made to order, fresh and hot when it arrived. Definitely be returning
