This hotel is tired. The function rooms were nice, but everywhere else is dated. It's pretty cold too, not sure if there was a problem with the heating, but there was a tiny oil filled radiator in one of the big rooms. Which was like trying to heat the ocean with a hot water bottle! The food was OK, not very warm and quite plain. Drinks prices were generally reasonable. Make sure you're not in any of the rooms above the entrance, as this doubles as the smoking area, it was really noisy until 1am and the reception and staircase smelt of smoke. Everything was clean and the staff were all nice.

We were so excited for our luxury afternoon tea with champagne……………. (65 pound!!!) What a disappointment. Bar staff friendly but all guests had to shout them as they stand behind the door chatting. After shouting the lady she led us to our ‘sofa’ with a table cloth on the coffee table. Very disappointing, no1 else having afternoon tea. Just guests checking into the hotel. A dog on the next table, drunk guests very loud. Felt like we were in the middle of a waiting room…. Felt abit stupid. Champagne was ok- staff didn’t make it feel very special. Afternoon tea came, yes the food was nice. But we just felt uncomfortable on the sofa eating off a coffee table. No music, just background noise of people checking into the hotel. My partner asked for no pickle on the sandwiches which was ignored. I think it all was pre made as the sandwiches were a little hard on the edges. 6 cakes each, which was a lot! And only 4 small fingers of sandwich each, no other savoury. No offer of other drinks. We left and mentioned to the staff at reception that it was very poor. And he said sorry but there’s nothing he can do…… very rubbish services from main reception. I will defiantly not be returning as it was the worst afternoon tea I’ve had - and extremely over priced. It wasn’t even worth 20 pound!

We stayed at the Studley Hotel for two nights and found the hotel to be clean and comfortable. The cleaners we have to say provided a first class service and our room was immaculate when it was made up during our stay. The Orchid restaurant food was delicious and the service very good. We would have given more stars but for the check out experience whereby the receptionist told us she had been advised by the barman that “our friends had left the hotel and said we were to pay a £58.00 bar bill” ; we were absolutely astonished as we hadn’t had any friends staying with us at the hotel. After some discussion she agreed and we didn’t pay “our friends” £58.00 bar bill. However, the receptionist then produced two further bar bills for £19.50 and £10.50 which again was confusing as I always paid the bar bill immediately when I ordered drinks. However; I showed her the deductions on my bank statement account on my phone for the £19.50 but couldn’t find the £10.50 which I then paid her because we had intended to leave £10.00 tip for the room service cleaners who did a fantastic job. Hence the £10.50 we paid for the bar bill we didn’t recognise was this money we had for the cleaners tip. We tipped the Orchid restaurant staff £20 for very good service and we tipped the barman £5.00 which considering the barman’s comments to the reception staff giving us “our friend’s” bar bill we wondered whether we should have tipped the barman. Apart from the financial confusion above we found the hotel very good but a tip on future trips to keep all bar drink receipts. Special mention to the room cleaning staff and the Orchid restaurant staff.

Greeted with a friendly face and directed to reception. It’s a massive hotel old but clean and interesting. Our room 333 over looking the back of the hotel green lawn. The only thing I wasn’t keen on was the tea making facilities, which were polostrine cups like takeaway ones. Maybe from Covid, and the tea milk and sugar in a tied up bag, no tray. But later on we ordered sandwiches from the bar and he said that he could get them to our room if we wanted to rather than wait in the bar for them. That’s when I asked for a real cup and he said that he would send two up with our sandwiches. Nothing is to much trouble, I would and will be staying here again.

We got put in a very small double bedroom (standard double) but there was barely any room to move about, even the bathroom was tiny. I went and spoke to the manager who was lovely and upgraded us to the executive suite (honeymoon) no extra charge as it was my partners birthday. Absolutely amazing !!
