A pleasant overnight stay. Wish I'd had time to enjoy the hotel more. (107543813)

positive comments Friendly, helpful staff. Delicious breakfast. Good, strong shower. Building full of character in delightful grounds.
negative comments Shower curtain clingy (in spite of the magnets sewn into the corners)! Expensive taxi into town (ever thought of a subsidised shuttle?).

Heather from Northampton, GB (Solo leisure traveller) 15 May 2008

The approach via rhodadenron lined avenues was picturesque and relaxing. The staff were efficient and helpful yet not intrusive. The standard of accommodation (even in a single room) was excellent - so often you are put into a cupboard or made to feel a nuisance occupying a double room on single occupancy but I had a large room with a single bed in it with plenty of desk and wardrobe space, together with chair, coffee table and well stocked hospitality tray. Having an iron and ironing board in the wardrobe was an excellent touch. The restaurant meal, whilst expensive, was of a very high quality. I could not comment on the breakfast as I was fasting prior to an unpleasant hospital procedure but I am assured by other guests that it would have been excellent! The fitness studio and swimming pool looked as if they were good too but, once again, my hospital procedure precluded me from taking advantage of these facilities. (97840906)

positive comments Chilworth Manor is a stylish hotel, and appearances outside were matched by those inside.
negative comments Nothing, I will definitely be booking to stay there again.

It would have been helpful had we of had more information on local places to eat, we felt the evening meal menu was rather expensive. The leasure centre was very well equiped,we enjoyed being able to swim, however I would strongly recommend that people wear goggles as the water caused me to a lot of trouble with my eyes. (97481644)

positive comments We thought the bar/lounge was in a lovely setting, the dinning room was extremely well managed by the manager and her staff, Reception staff were very helpful and polite.
negative comments the down fall was having to climb several flights of stairs to get to our room, next time would ask for a lower floor if poss.

There was a wedding party and couple of Birthday parties over the weekend, and they used the main lounge as the meeting place and with 60/70 people in this area it was loud, not good for hotel guests. Enjoyed The Club. (swimming pool) (97593528)

negative comments The double bed was on the small size.

positive comments The building was old and imposing, but the facilities modern and very clean. Fresh flannel every day. Tea and coffee replenished every day. Staff always there when you wanted someone - but not 'in your face' very relaxed feeling. Things done quickly.

positive comments The rooms were nice with lovely views
negative comments The bathroom was unheated and the bar area was directly opposite the entrance and was rather draughty when eating meals. The first night I ate in the restaurant at a reasonable time but on the 2nd night I could not get booked until 8pm too late for me to eat so I ate in the bar, on asking what a seafood mezzaluna was noone seemed to know!

Excellent hotel and grounds. The restaurant served good food but it was not really to our taste. (97231037)

positive comments Spacious, clean and warm.
negative comments We would have preferred a duvet instead of blankets.
Good
Anthony from Horsham, GB (Mature couple) 02 October 2007

Overall, a pleasant but expensive stay - the bar would not accept cash after a certain time so that we had to cover the costs of visitors who were willing to pay their own rounds. The final bill for one night, therefore, was much more than we had planned. I would nonetheless recommend the hotel but warn friends to take account of likely further costs. Staff very friendly and helpful throughout. (97133153)

positive comments A quiet, relaxed experience, both inside and outside the hotel
negative comments Room a bit small for the price which was comparatively high. It was not helped by the mirror light in the bathroom not working (discovered too late for us to contact Reception) nor the radio channels on the TV system working

A fantastic building inside and out, the reception area/bar is stunning. Very helpfull staff and really good food. The grounds of the hotel are joined to a conservation area so there is loads to see outside. Also if anyone is staying with kids there are two skateparks just up the road. (97281816)

I would use this hotel again as it is having a pool and gym added to the facilities. (97443894)

positive comments Check in was quick and the lady was helpful in booking us a cab to get to the church. Breakfast was a good selection and service was quick, however they were busy and we don't need to hear the manager bein quite so disrespectful to his staff. It's pressured providing customer service however we don't need to see the staff looking stressed.
negative comments Check out took too long, only one person on reception and the queue was 5 deep.

Beautiful setting and surroundings. Old part of hotel had character, but I am told the new part is similar to a travel lodge. Didn't have a chance to use any of the many facilities due to the period of my stay. Breakfast was good. Only downside is that for the price, there should be free wireless hotspots. You aren't told that connection is chargeable on the website. (97637400)

Sue from Hemel Hempstead, GB (Solo leisure traveller) 27 June 2007

This is a very comfortable, friendly hotel with above average standards and superb grounds. As a lone visitor on this occasion, I did not feel uncomfortable to make use of the excellent lounge and restaurant due to the helpful, considerate staff. Although this hotel caters for many weddings at weekends every effort is made by the staff not to disrupt other guests during the day or evening. A hotel I will certainly use again. (99551276)
