“I found this Warwickshire hotel to be a practical choice, especially for golfers, with its on-site course and pro. The staff's attentiveness appears to set the tone, and the ample breakfast seems a smart start to the day. Its location strikes a nice balance, offering both a tranquil setting and proximity to local attractions.”

Wonderful Wedding Experience!

excellent coordinatorperfect flowthoughtful gesturesdated decor

My wedding was at this hotel in February, and it was so great! The wedding coordinator Zoe and her colleague Ian were excellent. They ensured everything flowed perfectly. I appreciate Zoe's help with my dress during photos on the golf course. Ian kept us hydrated and informed throughout the day, very thoughtful.

The room decor felt quite dated and could benefit from a refresh.

An Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

posh foyerold showercheap fish

The foyer had a posh appearance, a detail I noted upon arrival.

My room felt very dated. The bathroom featured an old shower that dribbled more than sprayed (quite annoying). I also found the fish in the fish and chips to be overcooked and of cheap quality.

Solid Stay

basic amenitiescomfortable bedgood selectionfire door

The room had all basic amenities. A kettle was there. a TV. I found the bed comfortable enough for a good night rest. The bar was nice with a good selection of drinks available. The lobby was clean, and staff were very visible and ready to help.

The corridor fire doors requires soft closing mechanism. The fire door was banging constantly on the door frame. This caused an disturbed night sleep, that impacted the next day.
