Summary: The reception staff were amazing - I cannot praise them enough - the hotel staff were excellent throughout !
David Sep 2, 2025 08:09:19 PM
Summary: Honestly conflicted on my stay as based on the location of the room and the being the root cause of my dissatisfaction, it was okay. Initial booking was no issue and received the usual comms prior to arriving along with an “offer” to upgrade to a room in the “Manor House” which I went for. The room was on the top floor (3rd) at the end of the corridor and initial everything was okay. Some dropped popcorn on the stairwell but nothing untoward. The room allocated was however down the Restaurant end of the manor and the smell of the vents from the kitchen meant it was impossible to have the window open while the kitchen was open due to the smell of cooking fats venting - combined with the area at the bottom of the stairwell being used to store dirty plates from service - again leading to a strong odour up the staircase to the rooms. Finally this morning I noticed some rather unclean bedding as I pulled my covers back, not what I was expecting at all! I avoided breakfast…. Finally on the stairs on the way out… the popcorn from the previous evening….

Summary: We had a lovely family stay at De Vere Wokefield Estate. From the moment we checked in, Alex and Taz were very welcoming. The room was comfortable and the overall atmosphere of the hotel was very relaxing. The breakfast was excellent with a wide variety of fresh options – definitely one of the highlights of our stay. Another highlight was the swimming pool, which our daughter absolutely loved and didn’t want to leave! Overall, it was a really enjoyable stay for our family and we’d be happy to return again.

Summary: The stay wasn’t good. The hotel double booked both my bookings with another family. They took around 30mins to sort it out. The room itself isn’t worth the price I paid for it. No water given. The room needs a proper clean before handed over. There is a lack of lights in the room. The hotel has a horrible layout with confusing corridors. The bathroom is nice.

Summary: Room did not have any hot water when I returned at night. When front desk were notified, the man was incredibly rude. Hot water was unable to be fixed at the time (only once we were leaving) and they could not provide an alternative room. Hotel was otherwise nice however these two things ruined the stay.

Summary: Lovely, setting and beautiful grounds, when we arrived, we had lunch in the bar. The food was pretty basic and we had to have a few items rectified. The room is very tired and be aware they do not have air conditioning. I appreciate it’s not listed when booking a hotel of this size and statue you would expect it to be a given and wouldn’t think to check. Bearing in mine a temperature was around 20°. The room itself felt like it was about 35. It desperately needs air-conditioning.

Summary: Out dated rooms for century we live in owners have neglected and putting profit before hospitality service and care not to mention safety and welfare of residents Will be reporting this to local authority for lack of health and safety measures to protect young children on site
Mark Jul 20, 2025 05:31:59 PM
Summary: Lovely hotel and room, check in was a bit confusing as we weren’t sure which building Reception was in-ended up having to get back into the car with all our luggage and driving to the lodge which was some distance from the Reception we’d gone to-there are two. Bathroom looked lovely initially, however when used the toilet flush need Amazonian strength and the shower didn’t drain it could also have done with a bit of Mould and mildew remover.

Summary: Fantastic Friendly Staff Good Quality Breakfast Hot Room Dirty Large Dressing Table Not prepared Maybe Due to Late arrival so wasn’t very clean. Bedroom was fine starting to date all black wood Interior newer refurbished wing would probably have been a better choice. Nice bathroom but shower water pressure was poor in my opinion.
Susan Jul 15, 2025 07:38:01 PM
Summary: Loved the ambience of The Avenue and the food and drinks facilities were exceptional. Staff were very competent and friendly.
