“Bit old fashioned, your average UK wedding hotel...”

Stayed here in Feb whilst attending a wedding in the area. The reception was actually in the hotel. The room we stayed in was pretty big, and the bathroom was too. Guess we had a family room as included a double bed and a set of bunk beds. The light in the rooms is pretty good and they back out on to the golf course. All pretty standard but clean and quiet. Overall the hotel does have a bit of a strange smell and it was pretty cold throughout (OK it was a very very cold day in Devon but all the same the heating did not appear to be on in most places). The room where the reception was held was good, lots of space, nice areas, bar and dance floor. Overall, an OK place to stay for a wedding but wouldn't rush back for another reason.

“Not at all what we expected...”

This was a last minute get away over Easter weekend. Never been to Plymouth so thought it might be nice. This hotel seemed good value for money and relatively close to Plymouth itself, but with a countryside feel to it.

Food and service in the brasserie/bar area were fairly good, if a bit pricey and not very varied. The atmosphere, however, was dreadful though. It felt like eating in a social centre or the entertainment hut at a campsite. Very draughty, uncomfortable chairs, kids running riot with pool cues. Not what we expected - perhaps the term 'brasserie' was a little over egging the pudding. Canteen would have been better.

The room was okay, apart from a whole chest of drawers collapsing when opened and a door hanging off the built in wardrobe. Can't help us for thinking Fawlty Towers.

Breakfast was a farce. Basically too busy, food was cold and on our last day there rain poured through the conservatory air vents - when we reported it to recpetion we were given no apology or help at all. Reception staff were, quite frankly, rubbish.

All in all, very pretty site, lovely golf course grounds. Hotel isn't worth the money, even if you get a deal!

“Review from an Elfordleigh Bride..”

Elfordleigh Hotel

14 Oct 2006
3/3 found this review helpful

I felt the need to write a review on this site as I know that many brides check out tripadvisor before booking their reception venues..
We were married last month (Sep 06) and our reception was held in the Elite Suite at the Elfordleigh.
I cannot speak any more highly of the staff at this hotel - in particular the Wedding Coordinator, Julie and Function Manager Chris.
The organisation and professionalism during the wedding planning and on the day only proved that this hotel has the art of wedding functions perfected to a tea..
Nothing was too much trouble and the service received on the day was first class (particularly as we had bad weather and the hotel had to rearrange a few things last minute).
Its fair to say that some parts of the hotel are in need of a bit of modernisation although the Honeymoon Suite was really lovely with superb views and a four poster bed..

We had the most wonderful wedding day and we didn’t even get to make the most of the beautiful views and patio because of the weather, but it really didn’t matter..
This hotel understands the importance of getting it right on the day and I would 100% recommend them to other couples considering getting married there!

“Lovely”

Elfordleigh Hotel

25 Jul 2006

It's a lovely place and we shall definitely go back, maybe taking the golf clubs next time. Helpful staff, big rooms and nice firm beds. Small gripes: there was a function every night which produced a bit of noise till past midnight; the brasserie food was a bit stodgy and this put us off trying the more expensive restaurant. But it's a beautiful place and they make you feel very welcome. Great pool and sauna etc too.
