I'll start with the bad things: .
Now that we are done with that, everything else was brilliant. Breakfast is rich, the Brasserie has a lot of options, most of them are good, some of them are small and a bit pricy. The atmosphere is of true nobility and the staff definitely play their role in it. The halls and the exterior are well maintained and you feel as if you are in the 18th century. Would recommend and most likely will come back
Very clean and great staff. The breakfast was lovely. Nice to find out that the meat from the brasserie is all halal, which meant I had a steak on our second night. Also the ravioli dish was wonderful too. Loved the food.
The spa facilities are fantastic and not busy. Other guests were perfectly pleasant, didn't experience any issues considering we were the only non-white couple there and my wife dresses modestly. We spent an afternoon there across the various rooms. A few hours relaxing in the spa garden was the perfect way to pass an afternoon on a warm day.
Only a couple of minor niggles - I called the reception a couple of times and nobody answered.
We were there during the heatwave and found that the AC is set so it won't go below 19 so we had to close all the blinds in the room the entire time and found that they were effectively acting as radiators with the heat. We asked for a fan to be bought up and my wife had to ask a second time in regards to that before they provided one.
Also as someone that absolutely loves coffee I was really disappointed with the coffee here. I don't think it's that difficult to improve but I get the feeling all the coffee comes from automated machines rather than someone making it by hand. It could be improved very easily by getting fresher beans and some training for staff.
Lovely stay overall and would go back here or to another hotel from the same chain with no reservations.
I've stayed in many hotels across the UK over the past 50 years, and I can honestly say that Fawsley Hall Hotel & Spa is the finest I've ever experienced.
If you can find fault with this place, I'd genuinely be amazed.
From the moment you arrive, it's clear that every detail has been carefully considered. The grounds are immaculately maintained, the views are beautiful, and the historic character of the hall radiates through every room. It has a warmth and elegance that's very difficult to put into words.
The bedrooms are exceptionally comfortable. The beds and pillows provide one of the best night's sleep I've had in years, the showers have excellent water pressure, and every part of the accommodation feels luxurious without ever feeling pretentious.
The spa is equally impressive. It's spacious, beautifully designed and wonderfully relaxing. Every member of staff is welcoming, attentive and clearly passionate about creating an exceptional experience.
I also stepped well outside my comfort zone and booked a one-hour deep tissue full-body massage. I'd always avoided massages because I was worried someone might aggravate existing problems with my back or legs. I couldn't have been more wrong. The therapist was outstanding. I walked in with stiffness and discomfort, and walked out standing straighter than I had in months. It was genuinely one of the most beneficial treatments I've ever had, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
What really sets Fawsley Hall apart, thoug
