The most stunning building. Rooms are a bit tired as are the halls etc, but it was very clean. Very efficient and friendly check in. The food in the bar was excellent.

Hotel is a little tired with stained carpets throughout however it is very reasonable priced so can put up with stains! Bathrooms very nice as I would guess they have been refurbished. Staff nice and friendly.

Whately Hall hotel

Stay was pleasant reception man was friendly was a bit disappointed I didn’t get a bath in my en suite when I asked at reception lady on the computer was a bit annoyed she said I’ve already done the schedule but the room they showed me was on the list for renovation so stuck with the original room shower pressure was poor and there where definitely pigeons nesting in the roof space in the hall outside my room number 60 the breakfast was very nice and lots of variety over all a nice stay and listening to st Mary’s church bells Sunday morning was a lovely experience

Lovely stay at this hotel. Spacious room.
Michael, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room had recently been refurbished, so bed and bathroom were both very new and inside the room was clean and fresh. I have stayed here before and, despite there now being new bathroom fittings, the water pressure is so low that it is difficult to have a shower. Although Thames Water are responsible for the mains pressure, the hotel should consider addressing this issue (pups or header tank). The corridors connecting to the main hotel building and breakfast room are tired, but I assume these are part of an ongoing refurbishment. Reasonable price for the quality of room and breakfast.

Run down but comfortable

Really comfy bed and nice toiletries provided. Breakfast was ok. But was a bit run down and grubby. Carpet was pretty grim in the room and toilet bowl needed a bleach! Tea and coffee provided was quite cheap. Compared to competitors at that price like the premier inn it felt a bit like I overpaid. Id say the photos outlining what looked a bit luxurious was a bit misleading. No phone in room to contact reception. But all in all fine. You get what you pay for.

Lovely character hotel in great location.

A lovely hotel full of character. Our room was clean, had a new bathroom and overlooked the beautiful garden too which was a bonus. Breakfast was a perfect spread of cooked food and continental. Staff were all very friendly. Location is perfect, right in the town centre and an added bonus of free parking! Loved my stay.
Joanne, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location, close to all amenities. Plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. Many other interesting places only a small drive away. Hotel itself is nearly 400 years old, the whole building has plenty of interesting features. Room was large, clean and very comfortable overlookingthe lovely gardens. Tea, coffe and biscuits were provided.

General

Nice place stayed before Breakfast 8£ on hotels.com www but no times so waited until I checked in then they charged me £10 ! Also they had recently refurbished the room but the tv didn’t work reported it long walk back to reception as there are no phones in the rooms it took 30 mins for someone to come fit it - good result There was a “prom” night on so lots of noise in the green space till late Access to the carpark is tight not that they can do much about it but I’m sure if you’ve a big or wide car it won’t fit
David, 1-night trip

Service could be improved

The hotel is a little dated and clearly needs more work doing. I waited a long time for someone to come to the reception desk for check in and felt the service could have been a lot better.
