Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Simonstone Hall enjoys a wonderful location with stunning views, especially from the rooms and breakfast area. Guests often praise the delicious food, with some even suggesting the kitchen deserves Michelin Guide recognition. The building is beautifully decorated, though some guests have found the dinner menu's burger options out of sync with the hotel's overall quality and pricing.

the location was fantastic and the views were quite beautiful.

The dinner menu seemed to contain too many burgers. I really did not expect that. the piped music also became overly repetitive, and it bordered on plain annoyance. i probably will not return.

The location is amazing. The building has a beautiful decor. It was kept in a period way. The menu choices seemed fantastic. I had dinner that was beautiful. Breakfast the following morning was also first rate..

The bedroom felt far too hot. I couldn't fully open the window because of a peacock trying to get in. The terrace needs a daily wash. Peacock poo was all over chairs and table.
