Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I booked this venue for my 70th birthday to celebrate with family. We had 2 x family rooms + 2 x deluxe rooms, dinner bed & breakfast. A party of 8 adults & 4 children. The rooms were beautifully decorated, roomy & clean. The food was really tasty & well cooked and the chef was very accommodating with the 4 children. The staff were friendly & helpful without exception. There is also easy parking on site. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Chose this hotel for a birthday treat and went for the Dinner Bed and Breakfast deal. This was a second visit but 10 years apart. The hotel did not disappoint. A lovely hotel in a surprisingly wooded location so close to the City Centre. A special mention has to go to the chef for the excellent food. Everything we had was top quality and beautifully presented. All the staff were very friendly and attentive. Would happily recommend this hotel and the DBB price was amazing value - Thank you and hopefully see you again

I have stayed for a few days at this lovely boutique hotel. The staff throughout the hotel were very professional, friendly and extremely helpful. They always greeting and smiling. The breakfasts were amazing. The location of the hotel is great. The room was very spacious and well equipped with all essentials and fantastic view. I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel. Will be back to this place soon..!

disappointing party night, we love going on Sunday lunch the food is very good , but cant say the same for the Christmas party meal , the Turkey was dry ,and the gravy way to salty completely took over the meal , the Christmas pudding was like school dinners desert , for £45.00 per head it was very disappointing there was nothing quality about it, all four of us felt it was a real let-down we had booked rooms for overnight, they was very small but clean and comfortable with lovely views over the gardens , but again disappointed with the Breakfast , again very poor quality produce , lastly why no Christmas trimmings in the dinning room Christmas party night in a plain room no atmosphere could have been any night !!!!

Room and bathroom clean and comfortable, although TV oddly positioned. Peacefully situated and I can understand why weddings are popular here, it has beautiful grounds and setting in general. We stayed twice breaking a journey with an overnight each way. When we arrived the second time, there was no-one on reception. We walked through - no one in the bar or restaurant, honestly I don't know how the place hasn't been robbed - it was desolate. After 10 minutes wandering about and waiting, we decided to ring to see if anyone answered the phone. It was at that point that someone showed up and asked if we'd been waiting long. Woodlands used to be famous for its food and I have had a very good supper there in the past, however breakfast was one of the poorest I've had in a

We found this hotel due to a very bad experience at the Britannia Leeds and Bradford Hotel and Spa and were absolutely flawed by this place As soon as you walked into the building it looked very professional, very clean and smelt fab The gent on the desk was so kind and even rang us prior to our arrival to see if we wanted a food reservation The room was bliss - i just wished we could stay longer - it was a large room with a very large comfortable bed It was an absolute pleasure staying here and the staff were excellent Definately will go back!

Would be difficult to find a better venue for a wedding reception. The staff throughout the day were friendly & efficient. The food was very good, well presented, cooked & served well. Rooms were of a high standard & the gardens were lovely for the photos. Breakfast was very good as were the staff serving it.

Just got back from our daughters wedding and want to review while my memory was still fresh - a fantastic hotel, immaculate with a very welcoming atmosphere, don't park under the conker trees continue further round to the front of the building. Check in was easy and there is a lift for people who have difficulty with stairs. Our room was comfortable, warm and well equipped, the large double bed promised a good night sleep. Had we been stopping more than one night we might have opted for a superior room. Plenty of places to sit and relax and bar prices were not exorbitant - I've never known such helpful staff nothing was too much trouble - the wedding arrangements all provided were faultless - the food was good and nourishing - no long queues at the bar - lovely breakfast with

If you’re looking for a wedding venue, Woodlands is the place! We booked during lockdown after several phone calls and email conversations and I knew from the beginning that the organisation and staff was going to be fantastic. Abbigail was our wedding coordinator and I can’t thank her enough. She is so friendly, professional and settled any worries/questions I had. The venue and grounds are beautiful and it allowed us to have an intimate wedding where our guests were all in one place and couldn’t get lost. From checking in, everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Our day ran so smoothly thanks to Charlotte, Abbigail and Marc. Thank you for the best day, it was everything we wished for!
