We had been meaning to stay here for quite some time as the hotel looked quite something and it’s in an area we love. The hotel itself is very nice. Nestled in delightful, picturesque grounds, gorgeous lake and roaming countryside it certainly lives up to its setting and billing. Check in was quick and hassle-free. The room was basic but clean and tidy with a small patio and car parking space right outside. The hotel, although quite large, very busy and popular with families and kids was surprisingly very quiet. We had a good nights sleep. We enjoyed the spa and swimming pool area. Again clean and quite modern. The pool is a little on the shallow side however if you fancy a proper swim. The restaurant/dining experience was however, sadly, an absolute disaster. It’s a big restaurant and in obviously letting in far too many diners at the same time, the waiting staff were clearly ill-equipped, ill-prepared and inexperienced to deal with demand. The waiting time for our food and drinks was atrocious. The food was average. The choice very limited. Our drinks were removed from our table twice and our desert simply failed to materialise. In fairness our complaints were handled immediately and very well by Sharon (restaurant manager) but there were far too many things that went wrong. Will we return? Yes to stay. No to eat.

We have stayed at this hotel on three occasions now (once with Shearings and twice independently. On arrival the receptionist was friendly and asked how our journey had been as weather was awful. We stayed in the modern block room 63 and were very happy with the room. The hotel is being refurbished and you can tell. The carpet fitters were there during our stay and the entrance to the block is clean and fresh. On arriving in the room we could only see one set of towels and we had a problem with our Tv but the receptionist came immediately to our room to help us. The second lot of towels were in the wardrobe. Our room was very clean and spacious. The only one thing more hangers would have been useful. We had evening meal in the restaurant. The food was very good. Myself and my husband had the ham hock terrine followed by blade of beef and myself had scampi. Food was hot and a good portion size. We both enjoyed our food. Staff were efficient and helpful. We had breakfast two mornings. It wasn’t buffet as we had had previously due to hotel being quiet but you could order hot food ie full English. There were fruit juices cereals yoghurt fruit continental meat and cheeses also alongside bread to make your own toast and pastries such as croissants and pain au chocolate. You get your own drinks from the two coffee machines which are easy to use. We had a drink in the bar both nights but the first night it was just us and another gentleman. It was slightly busier the next evening. The cleaner who serviced our room was also pleasant to us. We enjoyed our stay and would return. I know that some of the reviews on here are harsh but we had an enjoyable break. Mr and Mrs King

We came back again for three nights, accompanied by my two young children. We always have a great time, it is so safe for the children and fellow people staying and staff friendly. The children felt they had a lot of freedom in a welcoming environment. Nice and close to Stratford, a lovely place to explore. We stayed in the accessible room on the ground floor near reception. My only gripe is that the room was not what I would call properly clean on arrival. There was quite a bit of dust on fixtures and fittings and debris under beds etc. The bathroom could also do with a deep clean. Either the cleaners are not trained/doing a good enough job and/or they are not properly supervised. Also, I got totally confused by the signage in the kitchen about turning on the extraction fan above the hops when cooking, but it failed to point out that the hob would indeed NOT WORK without the fan on, which is a different message altogether... I turned on all the hobs and even told the person at reception they were not working, only to be told the fan needed to be turned on for them to work. It wasn't just me who was confused, the next person who entered the kitchen had the very same issue! We hope to be back soon.

The hotel is generally good and the staff are attentive, but we would suggest avoiding the restaurant.  The hotel doesn't warrant a 4* with areas showing wear and tear such as water-damaged wood, mouldy seal in the bathroom, broken window locks, etc.  Our room was not ready when we arrived, so we were given a drinks voucher. After being advised our room was ready, we arrived at the room to find the maid still cleaning the room. The room included basic tea and coffee facilities and toiletries.  The pool/spa is limited and has a cold pool, a steam room, a sauna, and a gym.  We had booked into the restaurant for an evening meal, but when we arrived there was a table complaining about the food. They had sent their food back to the kitchen twice, and the staff were suggesting they send it back again. They walked out of the restaurant. Based on this, we thought we would order something that was pretty safe, so we ordered a burger and a chicken. However, the meat tasted cheap and of poor quality. The restaurant is charging gastro prices, but the quality is nothing better than Wetherspoons or worse. Again, the puddings were basic, with a vegan coconut ice cream that had an odd texture to it and a sticky toffee pudding that was no better than a cheap microwave pud. In our opinion, the staff were inappropriately dressed, with one waitress having such a short skirt that every time she moved you got to see more than you wanted. The bar staff were assisting in the restaurant, and one barman was dressed in hip-style jeans, which kept falling down. Although all very attentive and polite, it seemed that the hotel as a whole had very limited staff, with everyone just mucking in.  The breakfast was not much better than our evening meal. We arrived at 9.30am to find the milk, pastries, hot water, etc. had run dry. There was a selection of hot food, but once again the meat tasted cheap. The main waitress was incredibly young and either didn't communicate or spoke so incredibly quietly that you could not hear what she said.  At check out, we were not asked how our stay had been, and we felt that everything was done to avoid such communication.

The room is clean and tidy, and the quality of the bedding is average and acceptable; the hotel only has shampoo and no conditioner, and the hair is not smooth when washed; the bed is very narrow, I forgot to measure it, it is estimated to be only 60cm wide; it is in the same parking lot courtyard There is a Waitrose supermarket, which is more expensive than TESCO; there are KFC and Burger King, but the prices are not cheap; the rooms are not as small as those in other British hotel chains, but there are few tables, racks, hooks, etc., and the boxes and cages can only be piled on the floor. There is no breakfast room, I don’t know how the breakfast is! The windows in our room did not close tightly and had cracks; the electric heater in the room was already working. After staying at Anne Hathaway's farmhouse, we stayed at Chatsworth House the next day (Chatsworth Manor is also the Darcy Manor where Pride and Prejudice was filmed)

Typical motor way hotel. Place needs an overhaul.. Most rooms have something wrong with them.. i.e heaters don't work, window seals non existent. But clean, spacious rooms.. and good staff, who do try and help. (were they can)

We stayed here as our car broke down on the way to our holiday. We were travelling with young children and a disabled person. The staff at this hotel couldn’t have been more helpful. The service was beyond outstanding. The children were upset and disappointed and they were fantastic with them. They really couldn’t do enough to help. Kasey was especially lovely. A credit to your company. The next time we are in the area we will absolutely stay here again! I should also note that the hotel was lovely and clean and we had plenty of space in our family room. The shower was great. Breakfast was a good selection and hot and delicious. The bar was open until 1am which was particularly useful for us given the circumstances! 🙈😂
