    Plumbing could be modernised. Dinner too expensive.

    Breakfast good, although bacon and sausage had been cooked for some time. Scrambled eggs very good. Dinner very expensive - we went to local pub. Spa was excellent, especially swimming pool and Club Room.

    We had the valentines menu for the evening meal. Everything was nice but on reflection we would have liked more veg (maybe some potatoes as well) with the main dish.

    The staff were very friendly and the spa facilities were very good.

    Just an hour from London, Hartwell House is a hidden gem. The hotel boasts a perfect location with expansive grounds for leisurely strolls and breathtaking scenery. Once home to King Louis XVIII, it is steeped in historic charm and elegance. We had a lovely experience, particularly enjoying breakfast served by the very friendly staff member, Sonar. Every room is impressive, adorned with beautiful paintings and thoughtfully decorated. As soon as you step inside, it feels as though time has paused, making you want to relax by the cozy fireplaces scattered throughout the hotel. While I had some initial concerns after reading reviews about renovations, I was pleasantly surprised. The rooms are spacious, and for a place with such historical significance, the hotel is in excellent condition.

    The most incredible experience from arrival to departure. I had a great tour of the hotel and a little history lesson regarding the historical figures who lived in the hotel ( I think the gentleman's name was Jacob, thank you!!). My room was stunning with a wonderful view of the grounds. The hotel decor is beautiful and very Bridgertonesque but also very comfortable with great spots where you can just chill and read a book. The bar is incredible, very cosy and British - definitely recommend. Spa was super chilled, not many people around. It was a warm day so I grabbed a sun lounger to soak up the rays on the patio. I also had an incredible frozen facial where the facialist treats your skin with - 200 degree blasts of air, I WAS GLOWING for days. Food is very traditional with everyone dressed well for dinner, I don't mind dining alone but did feel more conscious than I would normally, maybe because it was so formal but the food was beautiful!! On my last day I did a lovely walk in the grounds before taking a quick taxi and jumping on a train back to the big smoke, Thanks to everyone for my wonderful stay.

    The shower over the bath, we are sure the room on booking.com stated a walk in shower, stand to be corrected. It was not great. No fridge in the room for the amount we paid, very poor.

    Old world charm, comfortable rooms, staff interactions were fantastic, well done. The dinner and breakfast service were great.

    This hotel is amazing. We loved it. The staff are really great. The food was excellent. The service amazing. I would say that this is the best experience I have had staying in a hotel. We used the spa, and my partner had a treatment and came out saying how great it was.
