Afternoon Tea (with sparkling wine) as a Birthday gift from friends. Faultless professional service from all staff that also managed to be friendly and welcoming. The Tea was excellent, the hotel wonderful and a short walk around the exquisite gardens a real treat. We left totally relaxed and would certainly recommend a visit to anyone.

“Loved our stay”

We absolutely loved our stay at the Whatley Manor. The whole experience was more than expected. The atmosphere and service is something very special. The food was excellent as well and spa was very relaxing after a long day. We would have loved to stay longer.

“Beautiful hotel for a relaxing weekend”

We truly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful property. From the moment of arrival till the very departure the team did everything to make us feel very welcome and special. Spa was very relaxing, dinner delicious, room super comfortable and gardens beautiful. We definitely will be back

“A beautiful house with luscious gardens with a very peaceful atmosphere.”

We very much enjoyed our stay at Whatley Manor. The atmosphere and the setting are very pleasant to the eye. We booked a superior room in the main house and were surprised with an upgrading to a junior suite. The room was extremely large with all the amenities you can expect. The coffee and tea facilities were not as good as in other hotels which we stayed at but I expect if you asked for it, it would have been provided. The bathroom although very much on the smaller side was quite modern and had a super shower and floor heating. Greys restaurant: We ate twice at Greys restaurant which is also the breakfast room. The breakfast buffet has a very small choice which is rather unusual for a hotel of this category but you would have probably acquired what you wanted if you asked for it. Hot breakfast was served on cook to order basis. The dinner menu choice was somewhat on the smaller scale. The food was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. The service although very friendly was sometimes rather slow especially on the terrace. We didn’t try the spa and the pool is really only for dipping. We didn’t try the Dining room since we found the price rather high. There are no other eating alternatives within walking distance, you’ll have to take the car. (Approximately 5 minutes drive is the ‘Cat and Custard’ which offers quite good food) As to the hotel’s location: Although the hotel is on quite a large piece of land there are no walking paths off the road. The road from the hotel which leads to several walks has no pavements and there is a fair amount of traffic so it’s extremely dangerous to venture along the road. To put it shortly not really good for walks. You’ll have to take the car. We did miss something, the turndown service in the room. A five star hotel normally provides this service. I most certainly would recommend a stay at Whatley Manor. It’s a beautiful place to stay at and has a personal touch.
