Room was clean and comfortable but TV wouldn't connect to the wifi - night staff tried to help and even reset the system, but it was still the same the next day. We were also rudely awoken early in the morning by 2 dogs in the room next door that had obviously been left while their owners had gone to breakfast. REALLY NOT good and not what you'd expect from this type of hotel. Breakfast was good but coffee wasn't great - partner had to send his cafetiere back as is tasted horrible. Building is very grand and generally the property and rooms are maintained to a high standard, it was just a shame we have a couple of things that impacted our stay and made us unlikely to return in the future

We stayed here on our Ruby Wedding Anniversary as we had our wedding reception here and this was the first time we had gone back in 40 years! Staff very attentive and had sprinkled red hearts on the bed and on our dining table with little lights.The food was delicious, lovely evening meal and very good breakfast in the morning. Over all a lovely nostalgic stay for us and we will definitely return.

Lovely hotel on the edge of campus. Lots of atmosphere, impeccably clean rooms, and very friendly staff. After a busy week in London, the beautiful surrounds, fresh air and peace of Wivenhoe House were just perfection. We had two rooms for our party of three, both in the modern part of the hotel and both excellent. We especially enjoyed the room with a balcony overlooking the grounds. The restaurant was excellent, enjoyed dinner there as well as breakfast each morning - all just great. We didn't have a vehicle during our stay but found it easy and reasonable to get an Uber into town and to and from the train station.

Wivenhoe House Hotel was nothing short of exceptional from start to finish. Set in beautiful parkland, the hotel perfectly blends historic charm with modern luxury, creating an atmosphere that feels both elegant and welcoming. From the moment I arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful. Every member of staff went out of their way to make me feel looked after, without ever being intrusive. Dinner in the restaurant was a real highlight. The menu was beautifully curated, showcasing seasonal ingredients and creative flair. Each course was expertly presented and full of flavour—clearly the work of a talented kitchen. The ambience in the dining room added to the experience, striking just the right balance between relaxed and refined. Breakfast the following morning was equally impressive. There was a generous selection to choose from, with both continental options and perfectly cooked hot dishes. Everything was fresh, high quality, and served with the same attentive care we experienced the night before. The room itself was spacious, comfortable, and impeccably clean, with lovely views of the surrounding grounds—making it very easy to unwind and enjoy the peaceful setting.
