Brandon Hall Hotel and Spa

Appearance in the dining room and especially at breakfast was very stark and lacked any warmth in the way of table settings. Tables without any tablecloths, no amenities even to the point of sugar or milk not on the tables. I stay at many hotels around the world and while I can appreciate buffets allow for less "wait staff" to serve at tables, it is more personable if a member of the wait staff could at least offer/serve coffee or tea at the table to a guest rather than self-service from a machine. Lounge/bar service personnel not friendly. Improving personal service in all public areas goes a long way to adding to the enjoyment and guest satisfaction.

Lovely hotel friendly staff great breakfast pool a bit cold to enjoy a nice swim would stay again

Arriving at 8.30 on a blustery December winters night we parked in the overflow car park and splashed through the puddles to the entrance. The drive in had been impressive & well illuminated with lights either side of the long driveway. We checked in without issue and asked about eating in the restaurant & were told we had about 15 minutes order so we hurried to our room. A fast freshen up and we headed back down to eat, choosing to order at the bar as this felt a little less formal. Asking for the menu I was shocked at the prices with starters sitting between £10-£15 and main course typically around £30, this resulted in our evening meal for 2 approaching the price of our accommodation! The room itself had a very large bed which we discovered were just 2 beds pushed together as I descended into the gap in the middle as they drifted apart in the middle of the night - far from ideal! The bathroom had basic cheap toiletries for one person thrown on the side and there was only one set of towels - luckily we found another set in the wardrobe. The grouting in the bathroom was fairly grubby and you could easily see the areas frequented by guests. The TV in the room was probably one of the first generation flat screen models and at least a decade old and lacked most channels and didn't even have a TV guide so definitely no smart features. Breakfast was good and checkout was easy. Overall OK value for money but the rooms were not as you would expect from such a grand setti

Went to a wedding not 4 star at all wedding reception room was freezing and limited drinks and they cost the earth

Nice

Really nice stay, comfortable warm and cosy rooms. Good amenities in room. Spa and pool clean. Decent breakfast. Perfect for a quick get away surrounded by greenery in the woodlands.

I only stayed the night and didn't get to try the spa or pool facilities. The room was great value for money - large and comfortable - I enjoyed the breakfast and the staff were very courteous. It's a grand hotel that feels like it has seen better days (hence the 4*), but is still perfectly lovely. I would be very happy to return.

Could've had more amenities for the price paid i.e., tea facilities in the room and smart TV options but otherwise cant complain

Very comfy but room was boiling and the window latch was broken! Thankfully there was a fan! Really lovely stay. Would stay again!

This was a business stay, simply an over-night stop between two days of local work, so a comfortable and quiet place to rest was all that was required. Advance reports from locals had the place as 'pleasant but a bit tired'. Although the outside of the building was looking a little in need, the inside seemed more than adequate and the room itself was clean and comfortable with easily-controlled temperature and black-out curtains (required because one of the security lights on the spa building shone straight at my window). Bar some noise around midnight (other guests who didn't seem to grasp that their voices and door-banging might carry to neighbouring rooms) I slept well. I ate in the restaurant.The prices were a little high for the venue, I though, but the food was good. Had I known how decent were the servings of side-dishes (plenty of 'Asian kale'), I might have been tempted to simply have had three side dishes as a decently-priced and filling meal! Breakfast was decent. Not the greatest choice for the money, but perfectly adequate.
