Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offered a unique experience with its topiary heart mini mazes view, despite some limitations in room upkeep. Service was accommodating, although a bit underwhelming for residents. Being situated by the river Avon and natural surroundings, it's a peaceful location ideal for a getaway, despite dining flaws in some dishes. The facilities were satisfactory and priced above average.
My stay at the hotel was mixed. The rooms were very clean and beautifully presented, overlooking excellent gardens, which was lovely. However, the room was small and looked tired. The pricing for the stay and breakfast seemed high for the overall experience.
I had a very comfortable stay at Whatley Manor with lovely views over the gardens, though the dining experience could use more variety for vegetarian guests. The service was excellent, with smiling and attentive staff always ready to help. The location was fantastic, nestled in generously planted gardens, perfect for peace and quiet. Overall, a wonderful experience with a few areas that could be improved.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positive and negative experiences. The rooms, though not as spacious as I had hoped, were overall comfortable with good facilities. The location was ideal for a peaceful getaway, but the dining options, especially the pricey taster menu, left something to be desired.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The service was amazingly attentive, but the dining was somewhat disappointing. The location was very good, but the food did not meet my expectations as a vegetarian.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of comfort and disappointment. The rooms were lovely, tastefully decorated, and the beds were sublimely comfortable. However, the room looked tired and small, not meeting my expectations considering the high price I paid for the stay and breakfast.
