    No fridge in the room. There was a locked interconnecting door to next door’s room and their TV was very noisy until midnight. On arrival, no one at reception told me the time of breakfast, or where I had to go. I wasn’t given the phone number for reception, or told of any wifi code. There was no information in the room of such either. I was given my room key in the modern building, but stayed in the mansion, very poor communication but friendly staff.

    The selection of drinks and biscuits in the room was amazing. The room was clean and the view was stunning.

    The food in the restaurant/bar is average at best. I’d describe it had Wetherspoons esque but double the price. They can do better. Revitalise the menu, give people value for money rather taking advantage of a captive audience

    Not the historic building shown on the booking.com website(!) it was very much the modern annex, but that still had good facilities.

    Comfortable bed and room. Reasonable breakfast, could have had more vegetarian options though

    Breakfast was served in The Pantry not the restaurant. It was very busy, noisy & over-crowded. The coffee machines were not serviced for milk frequently enough so lots of waiting around in a queue for hot drinks & the hot food was running out more frequently than the staff could keep up. I stay regularly & this was unusual.

    Easily accessible from M4. Large, clean airy reception area. Comfortable room. Delightful staff, always helpful & cheerful.

    The bathroom lacked some storage space for toiletries. The shampoo dispensers were difficult to manage. Temperature of shower water difficult to control. The leisure facilities were out of order so unable to use.

    Breakfast was ok.coffee machine unreliable.

    The only issue we had with our ground floor room was that it was described as being a room with a view , which you can see the golf course however, the room did open up into the car park . I assumed you would face somewhere a bit more private. As a result we had the curtains pulled the majority of the time for privacy. The doors also had a big gap at the top, this was because on of the double doors didn’t actually close properly, however with the other door closed and locked it was fine. Could make the room very cold in winter though. Breakfast was nice, however a little unorganised we weren’t told where we were allowed to sit, and so didn’t know where to go, we couldn’t find any plates and had to ask to get some. The selection of food was great though and even for children there was frubes, baby bels, yoghurts, cheese and lots of kids choices .

    We have previously stayed in the mansion house at the DeVere, and it was fantastic hence why we came back. This thought we chose a room in Wokefield place as it was ground floor with patio doors and described as having a view . This room was separate to mansion house. Beautifully decorated, room was clean and well set up, lovely surprise in our room when we arrived being the guest of the day, so we had some biscuits and chocolate as a gift. Welcoming staff, we requested via booking.com to have a late check out which the property noted down and allowed us to have with no problem. In the reception area there is a kids table with free arts and crafts and free cereal bars. They have a pantry where you can purchase drinks, snacks , chargers and lots of other items . You can rent umbrellas in the door way via contactless card payment . .

    There isn’t much to do for kids besides a small playground and you’ll need a car if you stay at this hotel and plan to go out. The family rooms are away from the main building.

    This is a nice hotel for conference, seminars, weddings and if you are into golf. Rooms and ground were clean. Breakfast was ok if you like English breakfast but nothing special. Staff was accommodating.

    Dinner service was not up to standard. I waited 50 minutes for my food and when it finally arrived the main course came out before the starter. When I complained I was not offered anything other than a sulky apology. I did press this and was eventually not charged for one of my drinks. Not really the standard I'd expect from this hotel.

    Easy arrival process and ease of booking.

    It was all perfect apart from the fact that there was a large conference, which meant on the first day it was very busy, noisy and messy. Not the fault of staff, who tried their best to accommodate our needs.

    Good Location, close to all the attractions we wanted to visit, yet set amongst large grounds with a grand mansion house.
