We have just returned from our Anniversary weekend at Simonstone Hall and won't be returning. The little things that were wrong just seemed to mount up from the moment we arrived and left us disapointed and £500 pounds poorer. 1. The entrance to the hotel takes you past a huge extracter fan blowing out smelly old fat. 2. Our bedroom... more

We went to a wedding at Simonstone Hall in August, and stayed for three nights. The wedding was beautiful, and the staff were obviously experienced in helping to make it a great occasion. Not a place for extremely large wedding parties, but great for the one we went to. As for the hotel as a hotel: the setting in the... more

We stayed here for our anniversary as it is close to where we live and we fancied treating ourselves without having to travel too far. The location is fabulous and the hotel has fantastic views. We had one of the 4 poster rooms which was spacious and attractively furnished. The bathroom could probably have done with updating but the shower... more

Great hotel in amazing location, staff very friendly especially Nick in the bar. Room exceptionally clean and had everything you need for a lovely stay. Food well above average and the chef even comes out to say hello and to make sure all okay, which was rather nice. The only downside was being charged a service charge for breakfast, it... more

Just returned from the hotel and had a very disappointing stay. The problem is the hotel website is brilliant and oversells the place. Positives - great location, impressive property from the outside, mostly helpful staff, great website. Negatives - dated decor, freezing bedroom (although a heater was quickly provided when we complained), average food, staff not always available, way overpriced... more

My husband and I chose Simonstone Hall as a break away for my birthday and were a little concerned after reading some of the reviews, however our stay could not have been better! When we arrived we were greeted warmly by staff and shown the hotel before being taken to our room. Our room was traditional for this type of... more

We stayed here at the recommendation of friends who have been on numerous occasions and as it was celebrating their birthday we wanted to "push the boat out". As we were a large party we negotiated a discounted price and that is the hotels saving grace. Our room was a Superior room with a small lounge with fireplace (didnt work)... more

I've never really bothered with these things before - but like the last reviewer felt we must also defend this wonderful place! We also stayed on a quiet night midweek in December - and couldn't have wished for a better place to stay. The welcome was more than warm and friendly (the manager checked us in too) and nothing was... more

Our experience of Simonstone Hall couldn't have been more different to the previous reviewers'. We decided to book our wedding at Simonstone Hall on a dark, wet Saturday in January this year. We found the hotel on the internet and, having not found another venue which met our requirements (and high standards) in a 70 mile radius of our home,... more
