This was my third stay at the Wallett's Court and the few pounds extra are worth paying to stay in such historic surroundings, with a tatsefully converted set of old buildings, each room with a different character. This naturally means that each room is different but they are all clean and well equipped. So much better than staying in a monotonous, identical room in any of the multinational business hotels who charge similar rates. The restaurant is superb as can be witnessed from the number of midweek evenings when it is full, even though it is out of town. The guest facilities are good, too - the resistance pool, sauna and steam room are all free to guests and had I a tennis partner with me I would have made use of those courts with the lovely backdrop of open fields. Just one gripe - wireless broadband costs next to nothing to provide, so why do so many hotels demand an extortionate daily rate?

We stayed at the hotel for just one night on 13th April 2008. Having read the reviews we thought we were on to a winner.

Stayed in the Stables and found the room dingy and dull. Bathroom had no curtain or blind at the window which is unfortunate with a ground floor room. The bed was uncomfortable and the bathroom was very basic.

We raised our concerns on checkout and response was there none!

On a good note the breakfast was excellent.

Rather over priced with a starchy atmosphere.

My boyfriend and I went to Walletts Court for a night away in February. We wanted somewhere beautiful and luxurious with a spa and found Walletts Court on laterooms.com. The hotel was FANTASTIC - our room was gorgeous - we had a suite (which was bigger than my whole flat) and the bathroom was to die for. Everywhere was spotless (not just our room but the whole hotel).

We checked in and spent the afternoon in the spa - we were the only 2 people in there which was lovely. The pool was great and not too cold, the jacuzzi was good and the steam room was nice. The whole spa area was spotless.

Later that evening we borrowed a DVD (free of charge) and chilled out in our room watching it on our flatscreen tv!!

Despite being in a converted barn our room was lovely and warm, and we were able to turn the heating up/down as we wanted.

Before we checked out my boyfriend popped to the gym (had all the basics, nice and modern etc) and then we had the full English breakfast in the hotel's conservatory. Delicious! Proper bacon, proper sausages and a good selection of cereals, fruit, juice, tea, coffee etc.

Walletts Court is definitely worth a visit if you are looking for a little bit of luxury and want to relax. We will be returning in the summer to take advantage of the fab outdoor space there (was too cold in Feb!!).

I've just read the last review and found myself thinking 'Did I write that' - I agreed with every word. We've stayed there for over 10 years and it's totally lost it - despite the promise of the website. The room was ok but everything else was so DISAPPONTING. The food used to be amazing and the service impeccable - this time we had to ask for our canapés, sat where we struggled to get attention and asked if we wanted coffee before we'd been shown the dessert list. The food on the plate didn't redeem either - the steak was very very average and the veg selection, well just boring, underwhelming and not even well cooked. As for the spa facilities, we did try and stay positive but they turned out to dreary, tired and chilly - we huddled under the hand dryer in the ladies changing room to try and keep warm after our swim! Any of the brilliant service that was always there has gone - when we asked about a feedback form, the sharp retort was “have you got a problem?" Well yes, we had loads of gripes and that unsmiling response made them into one big problem. So if you remember the Wallett's Court that had courteous waiters serving stunning, memorable tasting food, my advice is don't book a stay - you'll regret what it does to your memories.
