From we were greeted at reception we were made to feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The Pool House and Spa was made extra special by the brilliant weather we had this weekend. ##### Ian Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gail 17 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A late booking as staying close by the night before. Perfect. Facilities are great, bonus having pool and outside hot tub and sauna. Staff went above and and very friendl. Highly recommend and will go again ##### Gail Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeffrey 29 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Sublime This was a wonderful experience, very friendly staff who were always ready to help, offering glasses of chilled water in the spacious and well-furnished public rooms and alcohol in the evenings. We stayed in the large Shakespeare room, often used as a Bridal Suite. The spa is great, with a good sized pool, a jacuzzi and unusual sauna. Really good breakfasts served in bedrooms and at the nearby sister-hotel Milsoms. The fine dining at the main restaurant on the nearby River Stour was sublime, with exquisite food, terrific service, a knowledgeable sommelier and wonderful ambience at tables outside under large parasols. Staff offer free shuttle service to and from both restaurants whenever required. A super weekend, we will return. ##### Jeffrey Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Christine 9 Jun 2025 Liked: Amenities There are so many elements that are great about this hotel - the large bathrooms, magazines and book in the rooms (so rare now), the Jo Loves products in the bathroom, the fresh milk in the fridge! B U T the place needs more staff, there was only one person who was front of house at any time - managing the bar, driving the shuttle to / from the restaurant. It shows - the carpets on the stairs were not hoovered and the place is a bit sadder for it. ##### Christine Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa 6 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Brilliant service, very good stay Fabulous service, couldn’t fault that. A few suggestions, for £27.50 pp I would expect breakfast to be cooked freshly, it was very lukewarm from the hot plates. A small point but the room key attachment being a silicon spoon made no sense or representation to the brand? The staircase carpet was quite dirty on arrival. You can see the building being a bit jaded in parts. The patio area on Tennyson was hugely uninspiringWe did have a very nice stay 4\* rather than 5\* which we had hoped for, sorry. Once again though the service was outstanding from reception to the spa to Milsoms. ##### Lisa Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alison 17 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A wonderful stay, lovely location and lovely staff ##### Alison Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mihaela 5 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wonderful place to relax ##### Mihaela Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennie 24 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Superb. ##### Jennie Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anna 19 Oct 2025 ##### Anna Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca 17 May 2025 ##### Rebecca Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James 19 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### James Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Simon 21 Jul 2024 ##### Simon Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 2 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### David Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marta 2 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Marta Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > -
