    Two night stay at Elvertham hotel in Aug/Sept

    We stayed 2 nights and milk, biscuits and tea bags were not replenished 2nd morning. No answer from housekeeping or reception on telephone. No tooth mugs in bathroom and room would have benefited from a good clean. Carpet needed hoovering and a lot of dust on table lamp Bathroom basin seemed clogged as water ran away slowly and toilet seat was loose. A rug under the bed needed new carpet tape as I kept tripping over it. Electric fan cable didnt reach a plug, luckily we had an extension lead with us. Room just needed a bit of tlc otherwise it was a lovely room.

    Lovely hotel with a history in very good location. Beautiful extensive grounds with lovely gardens. Very good breakfast with plenty of choice. Our room in stables was on ground floor so very accessible. Room had TV, tea making facilities, a bottle of still water safe, fridge, iron and hairdryer, aircon and a floor standing fan which we needed as room got a lot of sun so could be very warm. Very large superking bed with comfortable mattress and clean sheets and duvet.

    Sad it doesn’t have a gym and pool and the double bed in our room was tiny! Hardly wide enough for 2 adults!

    Beautiful building in lovely grounds. The interior of the main house is stunning. Absolutely delicious breakfast buffet - one of the best cooked breakfasts I’ve had.

    Let down by evening meal where 2 of the 3 meat dishes became unavailable, averagely cooked and slow to arrive. Clearly a hiccup somewhere but compensated for by generous discount immediately offered and without quibble

    Fabulous property - like being in a national trust or historic home property with beautifully coordinated furnishings, beautifully cared for and grounds to die for.

    What a great place. The hotel has an incredible amount of character, but it was the friendly and helpful staff that made our stay so enjoyable. Take time to wander round the grounds and read the history, well worth the effort!

    Staff were wonderful although a couple certainly lacked experience nothing that a little customer service training couldn't resolve. The room decor specifically the bathrooms seem tired even though they appear to have had a revamp in recent years. .

    Location is great is good surroundings. Food was also really good.

    Everything, it's a beautiful building set in amazing grounds. The room was clean and comfortable. We were half board, food and service outstanding. We also did the 5k circular walk before breakfast a great way to start the day. Lots of wildlife to see. I love walking around an old house, how lucky were we that we could stay in one! I bought the guide book explaining the history of The Elvetham, I found it fascinating. Thank you for a great stay. We will be back!!

    Nothing really. The conservatory was a little warm but we were having a heatwave.

    Very quiet and peaceful. Being on ground floor with aircon during hot spell was a boon. Bed was very comfortable and facilities very good. My husband and I have disabilities and the staff were very helpful and pleasant. Fantastic choice at breakfast in a very pleasant conservatory. Grounds are beautiful and well maintained. We can understand why it is a popular choice for events. Loved the booklet detailing the hotel's history too. We managed to get a disabled parking spot in the car park despite there only being two.

    The only downside I found was that the fans in the room were very dusty and there was not enough milk in the room to make more than 2 drinks. Also possibly 2 bottles of water put in the fridge for our stay would have been thoughtful as 2 people were staying in the room.

    The grounds were spectacular, we had a wonderful stroll around after dinner. The hotel was very clean, the staff were attentive and the room we stayed in was phenomenal. I came here for my birthday and I had an amazing night away and we have already recommended this hotel to our family.

    The add-Ons are a tad irritating mainly for meals but also room upgrades. Service at the bar (food) was pretty slow; and the main restaurant is a bit particular about pre-booking. Turned up at the main restaurant when it looked quiet and was informed they couldn’t accommodate us. Oddly enough around 15 tables were empty at that point and stayed like that till closing. The restaurant’s loss. They seem to have strict rules. If you want to dine there it would seem to be best to prebook as recommended by staff on check-in (Sam) who are friendly and helpful

    The head gardener has to take a lot of credit, and those working for them. The gardens which are very varied are outstanding. The main building is a gem and also exceptionally well and tastefully maintained. Even if your taste in late Victorian architecture is not there you will still marvel at this gem. The rooms in the adjoining stables are very comfortable and well appointed if you chose not to stay in the main building. The members of staff are helpful and polite. Stayed 2 nights and would have happily stayed there for at least two more.
