De Vere Wokefield Estate

Excellent Excellent Excellent Friendly staff right from Reception, Restaurant, and Bar. I will stay again and again and again

Great hospitality and staff! Marsha went above and beyond her duties to ensure my daughter who lost her toy was happy!

All staff were particularly friendly and helpful (Drew on reception in particular needs a pat on the back). As a real ale drinker I would have liked the option of something to drink apart from all the eurofizz lager. All facilities were great. One of the top places we have stayed in the UK. Couldn't fault anything. As our son lives nearby I am sure we will back!

First of all can I just say, the staff in this hotel are probably the nicest, and most respectful I have came across. We where given a complimentary late check out from Ellie at reception as we where not leaving till later on at night on day of departure so thank you. We also got upgraded to a suite in the mansion house just because, we didn’t ask the staff just done everything to make our stay unforgettable. The pool was lovely, clean and well maintained. Changing areas were lovely. The surroundings are just blissful. You could walk for hours on end around the estate and not get bored of the gorgeous sights and calming atmosphere. Benedict’s bar is nice for food, only thing I could suggest is possibly adjusting prices on the items in this bar as it can be quite spenny for smaller portions but still lovely food. As this estate is located well off the main road you cannot hear anything from cars passing, even with rooms next door you cannot hear other people or TVs on in rooms etc. The hotel was busy with a lot of conferences going on and I always felt the noise level was at a respectful level. The most peaceful trip I’ve had away in a long time. There is so much available on sight for food and drink. The breakfast was lovely. Buffet style. Hot food plus fresh fruit and pastries with a wide selection of juices and lovely coffees. Staff in the dining areas also are so pleasant and lovely. Really can’t complain. I also love the addition of the vending machine in the main reception area. It offers things like nurofen, phone chargers, earphones, playing cards and I think this makes up for a lack of a shop nearby. Hairdryer in room is great. Amazing penhaligons toiletries in the suite. Coffee and tea making facilities. Aircon in room along with heating. Bed is very comfy I wish there was maybe extra pillows in the room.

If you are celiac, do not come here. They cannot cater for you.

It all looks grand and check-in was very smooth. The room was freezing upon entry and the only light you can switch on is in the doorway or bathroom. The old lamps which have been replaced by standard 3 pin as opposed to old 5a round pin can NOT be switched on by the switches which are still there. The heating provided by small wall mounted electrical heaters, which when the power is off, are off! The heating in the entire building seems to be the same and all were turned off. I was pleasantly surprised by breakfast which is excellent with a superb selection of fruits, overnight oats plus full English if that’s what your heart desires. Unfortunately eating in the bar was not the same pleasure. The burger can best be described as “dull”!! The meat was grey, the chips tasted like they had been cooked 1st around 3 days ago and reheated, not even refried. Overall very disappointing. Oh and despite putting a do not enter sign on my door, the cleaner went in and emptied my bin but did nothing else!

First the good. The staff especially Raj on reception, really helpful and friendly. Rachel in the View restaurant as above. Lovely pool, big well stocked bar and plenty of parking. Lovely room but no bottled water. Both evening meals were good. The bad Whats happened to the breakfast, the worst bacon ive tasted in a hotel. It was cheap undercooked streaky bacon, just awful. The potatoes were cold both mornings and no fried eggs because of some woke nonsense about not doing fried food .

Fantastic facilities, swimming pool and sauna were great and the view over the golf course from my room was just beautiful. Ellie in reception was most helpful. Thank you Ellie & the teanm

Stayed here for a black tie dinner and dance, lovely ambience with very efficient waiting and catering staff. Very helpful and professional reception staff. ( who were there at 2am when we eventually retired!)Nice quiet rooms finished to a high standard and all in beautiful surroundings.

Rachel and the team in the View Restaurant were great. They were attentive and the food they served was tasty and enjoyed by all. Would recommend the laid back atmosphere and freshly cooked food.
