The hotel is at a great location, but that is the only thing of note to write about, the restaurant staff in the evening were poor, from ordering our starter to receiving it was over half hour and our main was an hour later, the food was cold, uncooked and unappetising, our sweet took over half hour to come and was cold, I think the staff were just not good enough, some youngsters who did not care. We will not be going back, our room was ok but there was stains on the bed, the bathroom had no radiator so stayed misted up with wet towels, toilet holder broken. All in all not our best night away, shame as we often go down to the area and would have used it on a number of occasions if it had been ok. Collapse

Overnight for a wedding
Stay Date: 06/2017, Paul D wrote this review.
Lovely building but the rooms were average at best and reminded me of a premier inn. The shower did not work very well and the room was very warm. Very noisy as all the room front doors slam shut and should have a safety catch.

This hotel is basically a full speed wedding production line, one finishes then next one is in, with random selections of brides drifting through the corridors. Unlike most hotels where private events take place in separate function rooms, strangely here ordinary guests are randomly shunted out to function areas to allow wedding guests exclusive use of the general lounge and bar. This leads to a rather unsettling feeling if you are there for longer than just a few hours for an in-and-out wedding as you have to look for posters telling you where you are supposed to be that day. The parts of the hotel used by wedding guests are beautifully air conditioned but once you venture further into the accommodation the rooms are like ovens in the hot weather. Generally, as a standard and non-wedding guest, a feeling of being treated as second class. Collapse

We stayed for a weekend break. The standard room would be fine for a single person and / or whilst away with work, but for leisure breaks, definitely take an upgraded option because standard rooms have double 4'6" beds and are ' compact' . Aka - pokey ..... The basic rooms have no air con (HOT in summer)- but fans were provided. The food in the restaurant during the evenings was hit and miss; some dishes or ingredients delicious, others ranging from mediocre to in one case - inedible. The breakfast buffet was average. The pool/ leisure suite ...on the hottest day of the year the hot air heating was on (air con may have been broken) , the whole place was very hot, and on one day mid heat wave - unusable - which was really disappointing. The hotel has a beautiful , characterful old wing, unfortunately, past reception and one of the bars, this wasn't visible.You could be anywhere- in a brick built extension . The hotel is popular with weddings - the noise wasn't noticeable once in our bedroom , but if you don't want to share your weekend away with a very loud function - or even two - in the case of our Saturday night - check which events are booked! The gardens are truly lovely, naturalistic planting, lots of trees and a pleasure to sit out and walk in. Popular with weddings and their guests too.....Be prepared to share and keep a discreet distance . (Albeit not asked to) The staff are genuinely conscientious, friendly, helpful and any request or issue raised- dealt with immediately and adeptly. But - I must admit to feeling sorry for them having to deal with multiple complaints from guests - had the hotel got its act together upfront - wouldn't have occurred. . Collapse

As so many others have said, once you leave the smarter (but dated) entrance area you are in a lengthy maze of corridors before reaching your room. Not enough receptionists on duty to deal with the numbers of people checking in, when they KNEW how many to expect all at roughly the same time for our wedding party. The bedroom was adequate as a place to spend the night, but disappointing: our "double" bed was two single divans pushed together; the shower in my son's room was totally inadequate (something other reviewers mention, so why has nothing been done by now to improve them?), only one hand towel and no face cloths; tea/coffee facilities not located well; hot and stuffy, no air conditioning and only one bedside light available. I have visited better Travel Lodges. The bar and waiting staff were excellent, though, acquiescing to our needs and wants quickly and efficiently and willing to go out of their way if necessary, and I complimented the maitre d' at breakfast to this effect. Breakfast was good, plenty of choice and plenty of good food. Hotel needs a re-vamp and an improved system for checking guests in and out. Collapse

Having recently stayed in a fellow De Vere hotel I was expecting the same great modern, fresh interior surrounded by classic and traditional grounds; the grounds were as stated, but unfortunately the interior was very very outdated. Initially finding the way to our room was a task in itself, and the overall hotel is set out in a confusing way. We reached our room and the radiator had leaked and soaked our floor, however we were quickly moved to another room where the maintenance worker apologised and we were offered robes. The room was very compact, and the dark orange and brown curtains (and matching bed throw) alongside the bulky wooden cladding on the walls made the room feel closed in; the tea and coffee facilities are strangely located inside the wardrobe. The bathroom was average however the odd Scandinavian style wooden cladding on the bath was wet for most of our stay and the outdated style shower couldn't be adjusted to my height. The pool was also difficult to locate, you can only enter using your room card, so I let my partner into the mens and took the card into the women's; having got changed I entered the pool straight through my changing rooms. Having been in the pool for 15 minutes with no sign of my boyfriend I went out to find him standing there waiting for me as the mens does not lead through to the pool. The breakfast at De Vere hotels is always very good, a vast range of cooked items, cold meats and cheese, cereals, breads, pastries, juices, fruit and yogurts. However, me and partner sat and ate breakfast for nearly 45 minutes and the tables beside were left uncleared with food all over them, there were at least 6 staff members walking around with trays who saw the mess but chose not to clear it even when I looked at them. Overall an average experience, and with a refurbishment could be a great establishment. Collapse
