"Fantastic Hotel"

10.0

This Hotel is a gem to stay at. A real Art Deco feel with absolutely wonderful staff. I can honestly say, out of the hundreds of hotels I have stayed in World Wide, the staff here with friendliest and best I have ever experienced. There on a Luxury Escapes package and this was a bargain. Churchills restaurant was a perfect way to finish each night with great meals and impeccable service. We will return.

The room was nice and clean but the bathroom is fully tiled with no heat so it was freezing. This would be fine in summer but definitely not in winter

"Winter Art Deco Brunch"

10.0

I recently attended the Wine Street Restaurant’s Winter Art Deco Brunch. It was a delightful experience. We were warmly greeted by Angela and Natasha who looked after us attentively. The setting was beautiful, and the food was delicious and generous. It was a lovely experience. I often dine at the restaurant and Chef Richie’s food is up with the best in Hawke’s Bay.

On the 28 June 2025, the County Hotel hosted my husband's surprise special birthday party. It was a great success the Wine Street Restaurant was sparkling with outstanding service and amazing food crafted by their talented chef. Our guests all had high praise and lovely comments on the quality of the whole dining experience. Nothing was too much trouble for Ange when planning this occasion. A very memorable evening thanks to the team of the County Hotel. Highly recommend, if you are looking for a place to celebrate or looking for a great place to dine. Thank you so much
