Grantley Hall

A fabulous stay in a fabulous hotel service levels were extremely high. Attention to detail is amazing. The hotel is in a beautiful grounds extremely well maintained. The surrounding area is also extremely beautiful ideal for walks in the grounds of the hotel or in the surrounding area?. Would definitely recommend a stay. We loved it.

We have travelled most of europe and stayed in some lovely hotels, sailed on some 70 cruises from royal Caribbean, celebrity, Cunard etc, and have never had such a welcoming experience, it just seemed as though every member of staff really wanted you to be at the hotel, it was so friendly and professional, from turning up at the gated entrance and being greeted by a lovely person who radioed through to the main hotel to announce our arrival, could not go it the room till 3pm so we were taken to the bar area given a lovely drink and amir talked us through the hotel. My wife had booked the spa for 2.30 so the rest of us stayed in the bar and had a drink till our room was texted through to tell us it was ready, our bags were already taken to the room by the concierge we were in a deluxe room and this was a beautiful room very large superb bed and bedding, and bathroom with heated floor bath and shower. My wife said it was the best spa experience she had ever received at any hotel or cruise and that is high praise from someone who has had many massages in many of the world’s top places. The hotel, the food and the people Ouze class and personality. It is by far the nicest classiest hotel we have ever stayed in. Special thanks to Kia in fletchers restaurant and paulo in the bar area, Tracey in the spa. The price of the hotel is expensive but totally justified with the quality of everything and the staff.

Many aspects of the stay were lovely, including the care for my wife's birthday and a room upgrade (thanks to Bon Vivante). However, we were disappointed that outside our bedroom window (room 13) there was a persistently loud air handling unit or generator that disturbed out sleep several times both nights, and when I raised it at reception, it was simple treated as a 'we'll have a look into it' rather than prioritising what was a real issue that left us upset. Secondly, we both had massages at the spa, and though they were nice, the whole experience was quite lacking in comparison to other spa hotels, where typically we would be offered a welcome drink, talked through our treatment, offered a post treatment drink and product recommendations or testers, lack of conditioner and products in the spa bathrooms, etc.. It wasn't really 'best spa in the UK' standard. This is of course in context of the very high standard cost, but when paying over £1k/day, one really does expect things to be near faultless and first class, and there are better spas in the UK (e.g. Ragdale Hall), and better value high class hotels that have spas (i.e. The Swan, Newby Bridge)

Our first visit to Grantley Hall - and what a find ! From being greeted at the entrance to our departure we had a lovely time. Staff are all excellent, clearly well trained and wanting to assist although not intrusive. The Hotel has beautiful grounds but I have to say our room - an executive room - was amazing. So lovely but with mod cons as well. A complimentary bottle of champagne was in our room on arrival - a lovely thought - and lots of extra treats as well . We enjoyed the Three Graces Spa in the afternoon - even took a dip in the brass monkey plunge tub - chilly ! Dinner at Eighty eight was excellent - only wish we had left room for dessert as they looked amazing. Breakfast was cooked fresh and one could ask for anything really. A great place to treat yourself - its not cheap, but then you do get what you pay for . We shall be returning next year.

Amazing as usual!

Travelling through Yorkshire in the old jag, thought we’d have a spot of afternoon tea. Grantley Hall was recommended to us by a good friend of mine. Well we were not disappointed, what a treat. Beautiful surroundings & such a exquisite tea room.
