    We had a lovely stay as usual :)

    quicker service at the bar and at breakfast and maybe a slightly larger menu in Greys.

    We enjoyed our stay very much. We have stayed 5 times before and will return again. Service in the Bar was very slow in spite of the face that there was hardly anyone there !!. We stayed on a Tuesday night. In the end we trapped up to the bar to place our order (as we were at risk of missing our table slot for dinner if we wanted a pre dinner drink in the bar) as opposed to waiting for table service. We ate this time in Greys. The Menu was a bit limited. The Spatchcock Chicken was a little disappointing. But overall the meal was good. The wine list was a little pricey. We have thoroughly enjoyed the Michelin tasing menu in the past. Service was VERY slow at breakfast which was a little frustrating as we had made the effort to get up EXTRA early as we were on a tight schedule and had allowed PLENTY of time. We gave our order and nothing arrived - the waitress then came up to us and re confirmed our order - it seemed our order had NOT been processed : ( - however we did have a lovely stay - the hotel has lovely facilities - fortunately all the above has not put us off - the room is very comfortable and we will definitely be back. We still love Whatley Manor :)

    Not so obvious that reception can be found for unloading cases through a large automated door. Some items were unnecessarily expensive. Wine may well have been excellent, but a few less expensive bottles would be welcome. The charging fee for electric vehicles could have cheaper for overnight charging. The discretionary 10% add on to the bill should be made clearer at the time of booking.

    Staff in all areas were excellent, they went the extra mile to ensure you had a good stay. Room was large, spacious and well decorated. Food was well prepared and served on time with a smile. The pool and aqua sauna were a pleasure to use.

    Blinds opened themselves at 7.30am, maybe a programming issue on the lighting control system? Appart from that, perfect

    There is nothing not to like, it’s just a beautiful place. However, adding a 10% service charge onto our food and drink is absolutely fine for us but this hotel added 10% onto everything including your actual hotel booking, which I have never experienced at a hotel before, and it is simply not OK. That’s not a service in itself and should not be the case. It was discretionary and we did remove it, but it’s uncomfortable to be put in that position in the first place, which I guess is why they do it as most people either won’t notice or won’t want to ask for it to be removed.

    Beautiful in every way, with very attentive staff. Comfy bed, lovely view and very nice extras in the room. Gorgeous well equipped spa, however, the water could have been warmer in the hydro pool and the spa bar had ran out of most drinks. Deep tissue massage was amazing.

    Stairs carpet will soon need repair or replacement but that’s nothing really.

    The staff were amazing and so well trained. Hats off to whomever trains the staff. Best customer care we’ve had anywhere in the U.K. So attentive and welcoming. This is also true for waiting staff at The Dining Room. The facilities were lovely and the grounds are stunning. Hoping to be back soon!

    The room overlooking excellent gardens was great, we visited the gardens that when down to the river Avon and very natural. The breakfast was really good with individually prepared buffet selections and a great selection of a quality hot breakfast. The spa was one of the best we have attended.
