Just felt i should write a review to say 'wow'. We have just returned from a 2 night stay and nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. The meals we had in the bar were excellent. We moved to the 'Orchard' which was an amazing, spacious relaxing room. Thank you to all of you. One final point,... More

Although my review is poor based on the room it would be unfair to not mention the excellent service I had from the staff at Abbey house. They were polite and attentive and room service was very prompt and was of a decent standard. They also have free wifi which had a decent strength. This hotel was built by Edward... More

We spent 2 nights at the Abbey House in December. The beautiful building looks impressive - but to get in it is necessary to walk through the groups of people outside smoking. There are large 'ash trays' at either side of the front door that were not emptied in the 3 days we stayed there. The bedroom was spacious but... More

Thank you for your recent comments regarding your stay at Abbey House, I was disappointed you only thought your stay an average one..... .... The outdoor ashtrays are indeed something we are aware of. While we do have designated smoking areas, the front entrance is still a congregation point for smokers and the pillars for cigarette ends are necessary to... More

I spent one night here as part of a family wedding party. The waiting, bar and reception staff were all excellent. The wedding arrangements themselves were well done and the food at the wedding reception was excellently presented and cooked. The public rooms are superb and the grounds stunning. So why an average rating? What prevents this hotel from maximising... More

We booked this hotel and paid half the normal rate for a two night bed and breakfast stay and we were not disappointed! From the moment you come up the drive it’s a beautiful building within lovely grounds. When you go through the front door there was a fire blazing and the receptionist and member of staff who showed us... More

We got this hotel for £60 per room B&B and it was exceptional value. Lovely hotel designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and with a modern wing attached. There are some interesting books about his architecture in Reception. The room was very comfortable and clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Excellent full English breakfast.
