An Enjoyable and Comfortable Stay

Down Hall was a truely beautiful hotel, very elegant and picturesque, the grounds were amazing, the hotel room was very spacious maybe the ventilation could be a litte better, but I was provided with a Fan so this aspect was addressed. Staff were very helpful throuhout my stay, and I was provided with everything I needed.

Nice hotel but shame the

A word of warning, this hotel has no air-con and is VERY hot - my room was 36c, the windows opened about 10cm and they couldn't switch my room or move me anywhere, should've researched it myself more. Staff wouldn't do anything to rectify the issue other than provide more fans. Think if you stayed in a chain hotel you'd be at least given some kind of compensation, it doesn't have to be much but a gesture brings the situation under control. Nothing was offered.

Hi the soa was amazing rhe staff make you fill so relaxed. They are so friendly and helpful nothing to much. The hotel staff are so nice helpful and friendly. But the suite i booked for one night did not meet expectations. Considering the room was £386 for the night it had broken old furniture that looked very old and full of dust. Would no expect that in such a high class suit. The balcony railings where full off cobwebs where not been cleaned in a very long time. Not up to the standard it should be at all its was shocking to see in such a expensive suit. But the bathroom was amazing very clean and done to a very high speck

Perfect birthday treat

Our stay was for my partner’s birthday I made a special request in the booking that there were red&white roses in the room when we got there. And there they were in a beautiful room with a little birthday cake it was a perfect couple of days. Food was delicious in the garden room and everyone was so nice and friendly and helpful

Excellent Service

Unfortunately the lifts were not working and as I am not able to climb too many stairs so was not able to access my room, there were no suitable rooms available on the ground floor but the manager kindly upgraded us to a first floor room and assisted us with our luggage this was extremely good service so would not hesitate to book this hotel again

What an excellent stay! I must say this place exceeded our expectations. On the surface it looks like one of those comfortable but dull sort of beige country house hotels and we thought it would be grand but it was super. There was actually some joy and edge in the refurbishment so there are some really nice decorative touches. The colour in our room was a deep clay colour and some nice fabrics and furnishings in the bar area too. The food in the bar was fabulous and again far better than expected. Nice friendly staff even though all were teenagers they were sweet and helpful - good to see some holiday jobs! Gardens look gorgeous although we didn’t have time for a walk as we were in the spa. Spa was quite nice too. Not too busy or overbooked. Overall would stay here again.
