Very pleasant
(107688283)

staff were very polite and very helpful. after a long journey the early occupation of room was very much appreciated, also the location of room 216 close to the central lift was ideal for my disabled husband.

in the private breakfast room the toaster was "on the blink". Bread had to be put into it three or four times to become "toast" and this caused quite a backlog.

A very pleasurable experience - excellent value for money - and delivered everything it professed to. The tranquil environment was its greatest "plus"

Excellent peaceful venue with close access to London - a peaceful haven to return to!

Don't really have any - would definitely stay again.

Nice rooms, restaurant was excellent and staff were very friendly and chatty

No mini bar in the room and the film buying function didn't work on the tv which we would have paid for to watch

large room, good security, adequate facilities. Buffet breakfast was good.

Staff were totally indifferent. We are still waiting for the extra pillows that were requested at 21.00.

Although the hotel was of a good standard the general ability of the staff and attaitude was not in keeping with the hotel.
To be served tea with the tea bag still in the cup and biscuits thrown in afterwards in plastic shrink wraps was a bit more like a Litte Chef!

Clean, comfortable and quiet surroundings.

Some re decoration could be in order.

The hotel was adequate for a one night stay although if I was staying longer I would have asked to change my room to one with more natural light and a window looking onto the grounds
(99291469)

It was a nice location

The room that I was in didn't have enough natural daylight

were not able to check into room until nearly 4pm, despite being told over the phone we could check in at 1pm. Only one member of staff working on the bar despite there being two wedding parties arriving, and several other staff standing around looking bored.
However, the wedding we attended was well managed.

The breakfast service was poor. No tables set or cleared, coffee and tea cold, had to wait ages for cooked breakfast.

The standard of bedrooms was good as was the food and grounds and facilities impressive.
(3304902821)

Lovely location, high standard of decoration in room

Little things let the overall impression down, poor quality of flower beds outside impressive entrance was a diappointing first impression, bath shower was not as sparkingly clean as we would have expected. No glasses and no complimentary water.

The room was good although did not have a small fridge and it was hot so could not get a cold water in the middle of the night Loved the leisure facilities i.e. swimming pool

As mentioned above as it was so hot would have welcomed a small fridge in the room.

Overall our stay was unsatisfactory with both the room and general facilities falling below our expectations. The hotel appears to be targeted at business users attending one off conferences and seminars rather than regular leisure users who might want to book repeat stays.
(2980346)

Attractive grounds and setting

Room facilities - we were staying in a superior grade room but it did not provide basic facilities including tea/coffee making facilities, water/mini-bar/shoe cleaning accessories etc. Also service was very poor, although we were attending a function, the bar had to be opened on request, no bar/waiting staff seemed to be available and the draught pumps were not connected leading to lengthy delays when ordering drinks. Staff also had little knowledge of the surrounding area and were unable to recommend local bars or restaurants to visit.

In general, we enjoyed our stay at Manor of Groves even though it was only a one night leisure break. We would like to come back to the hotel and take in a longer stay and use the facilities particularly golf.

Nice decor, comfortable, clean

It would be nice to have some background music which is relaxing when having a drink at the bar or a meal in the restaurant.

Generally a very enjoyable stay. We had lunch there and the food was well cooked and sufficient for our needs but there were too few vegetables in the main course. Also the hotel generally would be rather expensive for us for anything other than a one-night, bed-breakfast stay. However, breakfast was excellent and we could have as much as we wanted.

Bedroom, bed and en-suite large and comfortable

Very warm in the hotel generally, not enough air movement. It was a hot day and there were no fans.

Sarah on reception was excellent - went above and beyond.

The pay tv didn't work.I ordered preserves with my breakfast and when they didn't arrive I contacted reception - by the time I left the hotel, they still had not arrived.
