Bishopstrow Hotel & Spa

What a jewel of a spot! The hotel and grounds are peaceful are gorgeous. Super friendly and helpful staff. Dinner was great and excellent service. Thanks to all at Bishopstrow House!

Stayed here as a stopover on the way home from London. It's a beautifully appointed hotel, so much so that I don't think we noticed so much as a worn carpet or a patch of grubby paintwork. Excellent service from everyone we spoke to. Had a very tasty meal in the lounge bar. Lovely jacuzzi. Room spotless, and very comfortable. We'll happily go back.

A very pleasant stay at this hotel. All of the staff were eager to ensure we had a good stay and nothing was too much trouble. Room was a good size and beds very comfortable. Pools, indoor and outdoor were of a good size plus indoor and outdoor Jacuzzis. Reasonable size steam room and sauna. No complaints at all but a few observations. The stairs from the loft area to the first floor are steep and quite narrow. Lighting was not good and together with a dark carpet made it quite difficult to see the stair treads. There was a good size wet shower area in our room plus a bath. When hair conditioner was used in the shower area the floor tiles became quite slippery. Consideration might be given to providing some kind of grab handle. Dinner in the restaurant was very good especially the lamb shoulder with a delicious sauce. We would have eaten there every night but for the quite restrictive items on the menu. Whilst I understand the need to avoid food wastage with only a fish course and soup changing each day, we felt the menu was quite repetitive. The number of main course items could stay the same with perhaps a bigger rotation of items on offer. overall, we really enjoyed thios break.

Great overnight stay. Good food, nice people and a lovely room

Everything was perfect. Hotel staff and spa staff very professional, helpful and eager to please. Will be back for sure!

We spent a night at the The Bishopstrow Hotel & Spa which we thoroughly enjoyed. Our room/suite in the Courtyard was lovely, spacious and with its own small garden and private hot-tub. The standard of décor was excellent, and the room and bathroom very clean and well maintained. A few quirks worth noting; no in-room safe or minibar; and no air-conditioning, although a fan was provided (we stayed in the hottest August in the UK on record and didn’t need to use the fan so not sure the lack of air-conditioning is a major issue). The hotel is an old country house so lots of interesting features and rooms. The Spa is part of the hotel and worth a mention. There is a very well-equipped gym – best equipment I’ve seen in any hotel – and heated indoor and outdoor pools, and hot-tub. The grounds are fine, without being spectacular and there are plenty of loungers if the weather is good and you want to sunbathe. There are also a steam room and sauna, and one of the most epic shower rooms I’ve come across – loved the ‘tropical storm’ shower setting. There is a full range of treatments and my partner had a very good massage. We ate in the restaurant after cocktails on the terrace. The food was good although I’d not rate it as ‘haute-cuisine’ dining. The staff were very helpful. All-in-all we had a great time and it is a good place for a relaxing short break, especially given its proximity to Longleat and Stourhead.

Booked a suite which was sizeable, but decor was a tired, sofa in lounge could do with a good clean and plastic milk is simply not a good thing at anytime. Looking on to the delivery area which means lorries park outside your window from early morning, so a long lie in is not on the cards. Lucky it has two pools for an early dip then, unfortunately the Outside Pool area was full of coffee cups from the night before and the pool itself full of leaves. With the number of staff wandering around from early morning you would expect the pool to be clean. Can’t fault the food in the restaurant or the service, which was as you would expect. The suite we were in certainly needs a step change to justify the £350 night price. Overlooked at the rear and to the front you feel on show unless you pull all the curtains and sit in the dark.

Loft room was unbearably hot. Even with window open all night, the room didn’t fall below 28c. Get a mobile AC unit!! Staff were patchy - some looked like they did not want to be there. Not at the level one would expect of a 4 star hotel.

Nice little hotel with beautiful grounds, it is the most dog friendly hotel we have ever stayed at. We were upgraded to a lovely loft room with a large lawn outside the door. The staff were friendly and helpful. The The spa had a nice sauna and steam room area, we liked the shower with the refreshing mist setting for after the sauna. We had dinner in the restaurant which was pricey but very nice. We look forward to returning.

Fantastic hotel with brilliant facilities and the staff were amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. Room very comfortable with everything we might need. Cleaning staff very helpful and pleasant. Overall a great stay and we will be going back again.
