We were staying Down Hall Hotel, as our daughter was getting married at another venue in August 2023. The Breakfast was very good and tasty. The Bed was good, albeit I needed to remake the bed as the sheets were not fitted correctly, also it would have been nicer, certainly more comfortable at night, if the duvet was of lighter/summer duvet weight, as my partner and I found the duvet to make us overheat.
We stayed in executive room 403 on the first floor which we found to be spacious and had a pleasant view from the window overlooking the gardens and fountain. The gardens and the grounds looked lovely, but we were not there long enough to enjoy them. The building is very grand and beautiful. The staff were pleasant and helpful.
We did book and try the 'Eden' Spa (I am not sure if this Spa is part of the hotel, but it was located around the side (West wing, I think), and to be truthful, we were both disappointed by this facility and in hindsight thought it was a waste of money. Having said that, my daughter who had a hot stone massage treatment, thought the experience was lovely and worthwhile, albeit rather costly.
If asked if I would stay there again, honestly, I don’t know.
