A wonderful stay at a lovely hotel. Exceptional food - especially the choc/praline soufflé. The spa is so relaxing, intimate. I loved the outside pool area - it was snowing outside which was different. We were upgraded on arrival (nice!). Exceptional staff - attentive, and knowledgeable about the food. I wish they had firmer pillows, the ones in the room... More

My husband took me to Whatley Manor hotel & spa for a special birthday treat. From the moment we arrived we were taken aback at the beauty of the hotel and grounds. The hotel was originally built as a hunting lodge in 1920 but looks much older than this. The grounds are spectacular too, even in the winter. We really... More

I took my partner to the restaurant for a special birthday. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome and our every need was addressed. Beautiful rooms which help make the occasion - big log fires in the lounges and they have the decor just right. The highlight has to be the food. Very seasonal (lots... More

We spent a very special weekend at Whatley Manor where every aspect of the hotel and service surpassed our expectations. Our room was huge, I'd give anything for a walk in wardrobe like that! Service throughout was attentive but unintrusive, the spa was a delightful surprise and the grounds are lovely. And the restaurant...simply brilliant. I have reviewed that separately,... More

My husband and I visited Whatley Manor for two nights over new year. It was a good decision. It is a very grand place and was beautifully decorated for Christmas. Our car was emptied and whisked away to be parked. The reception greeting was very warm. Our room (a suite) was lovely, if a little hot! But we could open... More

I do not stay at places like this but it was our first anniversary and so we decided to splash out on a couple of nights, with dinner and a couple fo spa treatments. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left the service was phenomenal. The spa and rooms are very beautiful and luxurious. The food was... More

We went for Christmas Day and had the set menu, it was ok, but nothing special. Although arguably obligatory, the smoked salmon, followed by fois gras, followed by turkey was pretty standard and we didn't leave WOWed. The setting is stunning, really, but the interior felt rather tacky. The restaurant felt like half canteen half swiss alpine restaurant. Not particularly... More

I recently stayed at Whatley Manor and was disappointed. The staff, it must be said, were friendly and helpful. However, the accommodation and food was grossly over priced given the standard of similarly priced peers. The grounds themselves are pretty but the building is in need of decoration - whilst it is old, the interior now looks tired. The internet... More

My Husband took me here for a surprise being the second time we've stayed at Whatley Manor. We had a larger room than previously which had a separate lounge area which was gorgeous with big comfy sofa and chair and selection of magazines. The bed was so comfy and there were radiators which were easily adjusted so the room temperature... More
