Nutfield Priory Hotel & Spa

Fantastic hotel with charm and character. It's a beautiful building and has nice communal lounges and seating areas for pre-dinner drinks. We loved our Standard Double room on the 3rd floor up in the attic. It was quirky, quiet and had a nice view from the rooftop out towards the countryside. The breakfast was really good, freshly made to order and tasty. The Dinner was beautifully presented and cooked.

The Spa is very disappointing and does not match the style and sophistication of the manor house. The Spa has all the standard facilities - steam room, sauna, jacuzzi and pool - but it doesn't match the high quality of the hotel. It's more of a local's pool & gym.

The property is beautiful, with a charming gothic style throughout the building. Both the room and the restaurant were very nice and well presented. Overall, the hotel has a great atmosphere and a lot of potential.

Unfortunately, a few details affected our stay. It was not mentioned anywhere that the SPA is not located inside the hotel but in a separate building about a 3-minute walk away. One month before arrival I had requested a dinner reservation at the hotel restaurant and asked to add a small candle on the dessert to celebrate my friend’s birthday. When we arrived, the reservation was not in the system, so it had to be made again on the spot. I repeated the request about the candle, but I was told they usually don’t have any and that they could instead write my friend’s name on the plate, which I accepted — however, this was forgotten as well. During dinner I ordered a glass of wine that was also forgotten, and I had to ask for it again, even though the restaurant was not busy. At check-in, the receptionist did apologise, but she did not seem genuinely concerned about what had happened, which was disappointing. Overall, these small issues affected the experience, especially considering the level of the hotel and the expectations that come with it.

Fabulous location. V comfy beds. Excellent staff esp Alfie

Spa was in a separate building a fair walk away for someone like me with mobility issues. Breakfast could have been better for the money

Beautiful and spacious!

Not obvious where everything is located and not explained all during check in.

Spacious with character and very friendly staff

Limited options for a country walk
