Whately Hall

Staff was brilliant, food was excellent and room was clean, another great stay. Thank you.

Clean room, comfy beds, lovely place, nice staff

a fantastic price for 3 nights b & b. Reception was friendly & when she noticed I had a broken arm she switched my booking from the main house to the 1970 something annexe as there was lots to sta in main house. Initially. I was dissapointed when I got to the room so the receptionist gave me the key to the original room to see if I liked it more. To be honest there’s no difference apart from lead windows with secondary glazing. Bathrooms the same. So I kept the annexe room as the stairs were too difficult. To get to the lift you have to go outside then back in so that’s not ideal when it’s raining. But my room was by the lift so great location for my mobility. Bed was only a double and I quickly we shed if booked two singles as we’re used to a king size -it was too small. It was comfortable . Room has everything you need , tea coffee etc. They have toiletries on the wall in the shower & by the sink but the one in the shower was broken. The sink tap was hanging off. The soap dispenser & mirror needed a clean. There was a desk with a hard chair but no single lounger chair like advertised. Could have done with that. Room 116 had terrible banging when the heating or water system was on in the building. At night it was hard to sleep as it was so noisy. I didn’t complain as I didn’t want the hassle of switching rooms. Staff were fabulous. This is a 300 year old building undergoing renovations. I could also hear the work on the Monday 9-5

Staff were very attentive, food was excellent and our room was great except the squeaky floors but in a very old house you expect that. Our bed was extremely comfortable and clean, we also got an upgrade so that was very nice. The only issue was ( and it’s not very nice to talk about) that there wasn’t a toilet brush in our bathroom and even though I asked for one it never arrived, this was our only issue but it did spoil it a bit for us.

Rooms had been renovated but if staying in the garden view part- it’s not part of the main mansion. Our garden view overlooked the car park- but the room was nice. Due to the ongoing works you would need to go outside to a separate building. Receptionist very friendly as were the bar staff. Only thing is they close the bar a little early which is a shame. The Horton bar did open for the rugby but smelled of sewage. The location is perfect, ample parking at the back.

Room lovely but very noisy with workmen in the common parts. Stairs blocked off and access was only by an old lift, signs not clear and was confusing how to get to my room. Not provided with door code for the main door from the car park and so was stuck outside.

Nice to stay

Staff welcoming, professional and helpful, the main areas are lovely and relaxing, had pizza one evening and was very good, dining areas nice, and breakfast was alright, buffet style and enough options. Sadly the room had extensive previous water damage to the ceiling, 2 single beds put together which had mattresses at different levels made for an interesting king size bed, no mattress or pillow protectors on the bed either. A shame really as with a few tweaks would be a lovely room. Would stay again but probably request one of the rooms that has already undergone renovation.

The room smelt like damp, I thought it was a newly renovated room in the main house as shown when I was booking. The room was cold as the radiators were off. The damp around the windows was shocking The bed was comfortable but disappointed with the room in general

Amazing hotel. Dan and all the team were so helpful and eager to make our stay perfect. Lounge area so relaxing. Room was lovely with comfy beds and a modern bathroom with a great shower. Cleanliness was excellent. Breakfast was tasty and plentiful. Brilliant bar. Didn't want to leave.

Very nice hotel, clean and personell very welcoming

The room was comfortable. But unfortunately the radiator was making loud noises that woke me up all through the night. It started around 1am and continued until 4 am meaning I got very little sleep. There was no phone or any means to call to reception, which was a long walk away. The hotel refunded me 50% of my booking cost, which I appreciated but I would have preferred 100% refund and would not have left an unsatisfactory review had they refunded me.

The room immaculate, the staff exceptional, the car park accessible, rooms we had access to were clean and tidy. The furniture lovely with plenty of cushions, and food very good.

The room was excellent condition spotless very clean and suspiciously large with good size bathroom and the staffs were very friendly and helpful overall we enjoyed staying at this hotel and the rates were very reasonable

Cleanliness throughout the hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff. Pleasant room. A lot of history Good dinner and breakfast
