Having enjoyed our previous stay in 2006, I was looking forward to our return visit - we find it very convenient for trips to London football stadia. Having read some of the recent reviews on here though, I was beginning to think we'd made a mistake. But it was just a lovely as I remembered - the grounds and the... More

A huge sprawl of a hotel with rooms that range from sumptious luxury to good average. The staff are usually excellent, proud to be part of such a good place. The rooms are all comfortable and well appointed, clean and modern. I've stayed there a dozen or more times over the years and never been unhappy with anything, although once... More

For my friends 40th B'Day we went for a Spa Day, this inc use of the facilities, buffet lunch and a massage for £100. I was a little put out as they said that they couldn't just do the regular spa day for me, that is only £50 not inc the massage, but could do the more expensive one. But... More

The hotel and spa is a wonderful location for a vacation. We had a wonderful three nights there. My wife had many great therapeutic treatments and she loved the indoor pool. Our junior suite was fabulous. Lots of room, a lovely bathroom with shower and bath as well as scenic views over the countryside. The food was so good in... More

We stayed at Sopwell House whilst attending a family wedding here. The reception was well organised and the food offered was of excellent quality, the main course was hot and the meat was tender and tasty. The staff during the function were polite and unobtrusive, just as you would expect. The grounds are beautiful and we spent the early afternoon... More

I stayed here with my husband and our son for a friend's wedding in May. We booked a junior suite with a four poster bed and were quite disappointed. Not that it was "bad", there was just nothing "wow" about our room or the hotel whatsoever. We can, in fact, not believe that it's a four star hotel as we've... More

Stayed here for two nights in May 2012. Sopwell House is very well presented and initially created a good impression on arrival but was let down a little by poor customer service from the eastern european lady on reception who failed to manage a smile or give us any basic information. I will say though that the other staff on... More

We arrived on the Wednesday evening and enjoyed a beautiful dinner in the Brasserie restaurant, overlooking the floodlit gardens to the rear of the hotel, where we later enjoyed a beautiful relaxing stroll....
