Stayed here twice now, and havent been dissatisfied in any way. Breakfast is fantastic, well cooked and flavoursome. Room was large and well decorated, also very clean, and staff polite and helpful. Well worth a visit.

The grounds are perfect for a long walk on the morning after!! Being so close to the Airport this made a superb meeting up... More

We booked a Classic Room through a Groupon deal and although it wasn't a big room and the window was too high up to have a view from it was OK for the price. The bed was comfy, the TV was good, the bathroom was good - although the lighting was a bit on the dull side. As it was... More

We have just had a wonderful weekend at Down Hall Country House Hotel celebrating our Silver Wedding Anniversary. The building itself is quite stunning and set in beautiful well maintained grounds. We ate both nights in the Grill Room Restaurant which has to be booked in advance. The menu was fantastic and the food delicious. The service was excellent and... More

We had a Wowcher voucher for a discounted room and had a pleasant stay. The room was comfy, if a bit small, but clean with a good shower. We had a meal in the grill restaurant and was more than impressed with the quality of the food. My wife is vegetarian and is usually unimpressed with most offerings when we... More

My husband and I attended a friends wedding at the hotel. As we arrived, the impressive drive up to the hotel didn't leave us disappointed. Check in was easy and the staff were courteous. I asked if the pool was open ( 2 weeks previously there had been an unfortunate incident) but no it wasn't. The hotel website didn't state... More

Stayed at Downs Hall House using a Living Social voucher, it’s a great venue, very impressive driving up to it, the reception staff were efficient and told us all about the hotel. The room we were given was of a good size, well equipped, the bathroom wasn’t as clean as you’d expect from a hotel of this standard. The disappointment... More

I recently stayed in the hotel. My main concern is this. We had a cot for a 1 year old. There was a cold hard sheet and a bath towel for a blanket, luckily I carry our own. The point....
