7.4/10

Our stay for a birthday celebration was memorable for the beautiful rooms and relaxing spa experience. However, we were let down by the dining service and issues with our breakfast. While the spa was definitely a highlight, the overall dining experience fell short and impacted our enjoyment significantly.

Rooms

The room was stunning and beautifully appointed, making it a lovely retreat. However, it didn't quite match what I expected from a superior room as per the website.

I had a wonderful mini break at the hotel, especially enjoying the fantastic upgrade to the Manor House. The food was superb, featuring freshly cooked breakfasts and delightful dinner options. Although my experience was mainly positive, the service at breakfast on my last visit wasn't as organized as I expected, which detracted from an otherwise luxurious stay.

I really enjoyed my anniversary stay, but there were a few hiccups that kept it from being perfect. The spa was excellent and offered a lovely atmosphere, and most of the staff were friendly and attentive. However, the noise from the wedding party was a bit overwhelming, and the dining experience could use some improvement. Overall, there's potential for a truly special retreat.

I had a lovely afternoon tea at Stanley House, enjoying a tranquil countryside setting with fantastic food and attentive staff. However, my experience with the thermal spa was less impressive, marred by service issues during the meal that diminished what could have been a relaxing day. The spa ambiance is beautiful, but it was disappointing not to have easy access as a hotel guest. The parking was a breeze, and I appreciated no slopes to navigate. Overall, there's great potential here, but some aspects need improvement.

My stay at Stanley House was truly remarkable, with highlights being the tranquil spa and attentive dining experiences. The staff went above and beyond, making us feel incredibly special. The only downside was the mix of old and modern decor in some areas, which might not appeal to everyone. Overall, I can't wait to return for another relaxing retreat.
