Beautiful hotel from the outside in a lovely setting and convenient for a day in London from Woking train station. We also went to Hampton Court Palace. The food was of a high standard but we were disappointed with the room, it was boring and drab. We have stayed in other hotels with much more of a wow factor.

Nice hotel within easy commuting distance of Woking, hence reason for the stay. Hotel is clean and ambient. Staff on reception not overly helpful. Waiting staff at breakfast very good and friendly. Overall average, particularly given the cost.

Mixed review for hotrl and restaurant

Disappointing. No wifi. Receptionist on arrival not competent. Delicious food but very slow service. Noisy in the morning due to building work right above us - we were not warned. Initially billed for a bottle of wine but fortunately the staff corrected it.

Staff were extremely helpful and accommodating for an earlier check in. The rooms were a lovely size and the bed really comfortable. The only downside for me was the dining chairs for breakfast (which were the style used for weddings) and are on the small side and some were slightly wobbly. Will dray herr again.

Sadly disappointing

We booked 3 Lodge rooms but only 1 of us stayed in the Lodge - 2 colleagues had rooms in the main building. All rooms where very hot and one of the bathrooms had a razor still left in from the previous occupant. All in all not a great experience.

Disappoint food at dinner and breakfast

Check in process was one of the best experiences of any hotel. The service from the restaurant staff and bar staff is friendly. The food needs improvement. The chicken in both of our dinners was tough despite having different meals. Breakfast isn't up to par, it lacks value for money, and appears that cheap ingredients are used. You'd expect a country hotel to do better by offering great food, overall, i rate the food 6/10. Better to book room only, and eat elsewhere.

Downgrade!!

I booked and paid for at the point of booking a suite! When I got here they told me the suite wasn’t available and only a deluxe twin. A room with two single beds just pushed together. There was no offer of a refund or any compensation for paying for a more expensive room then receiving this. I was told that it was due to a leak in the room. Yet there was a wedding at the hotel and they were given the room I had booked and paid for. No honesty and no compensation for the money I had paid.

This is a beautiful traditional country hotel set in lovely grounds. The staff are attentive without being overbearing. The room was clean and comfortable with a lovely view of the gardens. We had an afternoon tea which was fantastic, and the two breakfasts we had were delicious. All in all a lovely couple of nights stay, we would definitely recommend a stay here.
