From the outside it looks amazing however the room itself is not the best. We had a heated towel rack that leaked water all over the floor and soaked the carpets. The sink in the bathroom had a huge crack running through it. For nearly £250 a night I expected more. The spa and wellness suite was fantastic however.

Very welcoming friendly staff. The hotel was very beautiful and to a nice standard. The only thing is some of the soa facilities like the outside jacuzzi, are in need of repair as dirty walls and broken or shabby furnishings. The changing rooms didn’t have straighteners which was surprising! So if these things were improved upon the guests would rate the hotel much higher. !

It was terrible. It room was wonderful but then I ordered same services. It took them 5 selected rings to answer the phone. I ordered a the burger and cheese plater. It came and it was cheese cake. The and chips were cold. Then i rang back to change it to a cheese plater. After 1/2 and hour later the phone rang and was a woman who is room service. It took an hour to my cheese plater. Then the the fallowing morning I didn’t have bath towels !!! So I went with no shower. I went down for breakfast. It was a queue at the breakfast by the door. The waiters doesn’t seem nice and was run off their feet. It took them half a hour to the coffee. It came from the waiter a cup no saucer and changed it with my cup. And it didn’t have milk. it ordered the egg Benedict. It was disgusting.

We booked a room at this hotel as we were looking forward to using the spa facilities. Check in took a very long time but we were able to use the spa before check in. The spa had good facilities but it was very dated and needed some TLC. For instance the door to the outside pool was falling apart, tiles in the pool were coming off and in general it needed to be modernised. The majority of the rooms are in a new build wing next to the historic rooms, which we were not expecting. The room was dated and needed work doing to it. The bath was chipped, marks on all walls and dated furniture. Breakfast was good and value for money. However again the room needed repairs. The gardens are beautiful and there are a range of facilities to use outside of the room. In summary, we had a good stay but the hotel could be modernised and repaired.

A domino effect of poor management. The resort lists 'air conditioning ', but our room's air conditioner was broken. The window would only open 3 inches and if the heavy draperies were closed, no air would circulate. Reception asked repairman to come to our room. When we returned, 3 hrs later, air still broken and a fan had been placed in our room. It was still uncomfortably warm. Reception's only choice was to offer a room with no hot water, and continue to go back and forth. The option to sleep in one room and bathe in the other. Said second room was in a separate bldg, up a lift, down 1 and 1/2 stairs. Many consequences....facing drizzle, forgetting meds in the other room, both of us having to shower around same time. On second day our keys did not work for the distant room. Twice! Breakfast was also a big disappointment, but compared to room fiasco, it pales. Bottom line: if a hotel lists having air conditioning, it should only rent out those rooms with air conditioning.

Beautiful site however it is in need of a serious upgrade. Grounds are impressive and it’s well situated. Drawing room is lovely for tea however there is a huge TV by one of the windows blocking the view, very out of place. Staff are very pleasant but the operation seems a little disorganised. Vellore restaurant is not good, staff are doing their best but the food was not fresh and fell well below expectation with the price tag example, curry was £30 , rice was not fresh and the curry lacked depth of flavour (possibly from a jar). Spa has a variety of options (steam, sauna, outdoor jacuzzi). Massage was excellent. Signs up for hotel guests to bring towels from their rooms, gives it a cheaper feel. Investing in new/bigger towels and gowns would improve the experience.

This hotel needs a serious overhaul. The decor and facilities felt like I was back in the early 90s (but not in cool retro way). They even had a dataport for dial-up modems in the hotel rooms. Parking was bad and had to squeeze in the last spot in the car park. The staff were very polite but needed training in regard to if something went wrong. For example my wife and I had ordered a sandwich from the restaurant and 20 mins after ordering the waiter came out and said they didn't have one of the dishes then I quickly ordered another option. 15 minutes later one dish came out then we waited 40 minutes for the second to come out. When I pointed this out the waiter just said sorry. Considering the price of hotel and star rating I would expect staff to offer a free drink or something to compensate for the horrific delays. The room was poorly cleaned and actually had a pubic hair on the wall and an empty biscuit wrapper in a draw. No mini-bar drinks option with an empty fridge. The door had a massive crack in it and overnight there were very loud bangs coming from the plumbing system. Overall we were very disappointed and we did mention to staff and they simply said we're sorry for that with nothing offered. Next time I see any of these resorts will avoid booking and also tell my social network never to book these places. Highly avoid if possible.
