"The hotel was amazing. I especially liked NOT having an adjoining room, and the room was so quiet. Great that they had air conditioning too. All the supplies in the room were restocked every day. The sheets on the bed were of great quality, as were the towels. We had fresh water bottles every day plus there was a filtered water dispenser down the corridor."

10/10 Excellent
"I went to Limpley Stoke Hotel for my son's wedding. They arranged for it at the hotel about 14 weeks ago. The venue was excellent and the wedding, breakfast and evening party went flawlessly. The food was tasty, hot and plentiful. The bar and outside terrace was great, plenty of room to move around, everyone really enjoyed themselves. The bar itself had plenty to offer drnkwise and the bar staff were cheerful and professional. The rooms were spacious ,spotless and well stocked with tea/coffee etc. There were around 60 of us at the wedding and I thought it was an idea setting, just the right size although I'm sure larger parties would find it just as idea. Overall, it was a brilliant Hotel and venue. I would recommend Limpley Stoke Hotel to anyone as an idea spot and very reasonable priced ,the weather was great as well. Well done and thanks to everyone at the hotel. Tony Hughes."

8/10 Good
"The hotel is lovely, very attractive main entrance and lobby. Staff were all very helpful and friendly and overall it was very clean in the room and public areas. The spa facilities were really good, we loves the courtyard with the large hot tub. Only small grumbles about the room were the lack of curtains and no decaf coffee, the bed was super comfy and the bathroom was modern and clean. The bistro food and hot drinks are very overpriced for what they are, a salad with a very small amount of topping were £15 and a small cup of coffee was £5. Overall we had a fantastic stay and would go back."
