"Beauty and elegance"

10.0

What a special and delightful find on Luxury Escapes. From checking in to checking out was seamless and welcoming. The venue was delightful, comfortable, spotless and the location exceptional. We were left a welcome gift and although we didn’t take advantage of the complimentary port in the library during our stay we were very impressed with the inclusion. Would definitely recommend and return.

"Just wow!! What a treat!"

10.0

Our stay with Ange, Donie and the team was magical. We felt so welcome and spoiled. The value for money was outstanding. The service, cocktails and the food were magnificent. The library and port was a wee treat and lovely way to end the evening. The facilities were beautiful. We are definitely making this an annual treat. We will be back for dinner and cocktails between stays. We highly recommend the Dine, Dream, Delight | One Night Package. Thanks so much team.

"Five‑Star Service at a Charming Napier Gem."

10.0

Our stay at The County Hotel was absolutely exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed and cared for, something that is becoming increasingly rare, and all the more special because of it. A heartfelt thank you goes especially to Angela, whose warmth, professionalism, and effortless hospitality set the tone for our entire visit. She went above and beyond in so many thoughtful ways, and her genuine kindness made us feel more like treasured guests than visitors passing through. Donie also deserves a special mention for his friendly manner and attentive service, which added to the sense of ease and comfort throughout our stay. We also had a fantastic dining experience at Churchill’s Lounge Bar & Restaurant. The atmosphere was elegant yet welcoming, and the menu was beautifully crafted, refined, seasonal, and clearly designed with care. Every dish was delicious, and the service matched the standard of the food: attentive, warm, and genuinely thoughtful. It was the perfect way to end our evenings, and a real highlight of our stay. The hotel itself is full of character and charm, beautifully maintained, and perfectly located but it’s the people who truly make it shine. Thanks to Angela and Donie, our time here was memorable for all the right reasons. We left feeling refreshed, appreciated, and already looking forward to returning. Highly recommended.

"Amazing Art Deco Hotel with old fashioned great service."

10.0

This is such a beautiful hotel. We booked 2 rooms for a 2 night stay at the end of April and had the best experience ever. The hotel rooms were absolutely beautiful. We were welcomed by the lovely Angela who showed us up to our room. We enjoyed 2 delicious breakfasts and a scrumptious dinner and have not stopped raving about our experience. Our friends and us also enjoyed a game of cards in the library with a glass of port. A special mention to Charlie who was an absolute gem. If you want an amazing place to stay in Napier this is the place to be.
