Okay I didn’t stay. Just saw these two fantastic ladies on Four In Bed and wanted to offer support. 
The other folks were all lovely as well but I felt Jane in particular was fantastic and had a fantastic sense of humour, a shame Harold didn’t take it the same way. Harold was a lovely guy so I can’t hate on him.

If I’m ever in the area I’ll definitely stay. Two fantastic ladies. (After saying all this I hope they’re still there).

Great ladies

A big thank you to everyone at Stoneleigh we had a wonderful Afternoon Tea, the staff are wonderful & polite, the food was delicious & fresh and is simply the best afternoon tea we have ever had. Highly recommended and we will be going back for sure.

Afternoon Tea

We booked this to attend a nearby 60th. I’ve stayed in many hotels with work and leisure and never pre-paid in full for a night that was refundable! Odd but ultimately not an issue.

The check-in lady was extremely polite to the point of being OTT. I was presented with paperwork to sign, but which was already signed. The lady decided to just cross out the signature, initial it herself and then ask me to sign. It wasn’t even mine. And when I pointed this out, the correct paperwork was found with some comment about the “system” not working. Again, all sorted.

I’d booked the Daffodil room partly as I felt the rates for other rooms were too high for a place without any parking facilities or full bar and restaurant facilities. 
It’s not the property’s fault it hasn’t its own parking, but it is an issue, and would help if the website had details. I’d hunted reviews to find out the position.

And that bedroom isn’t practical. My husband is 6’3 and feet overhung the small double bed considerably. He kept banging his head on the low (beautiful) en-suite doorway. 
It was just far too cramped for two people to be comfortable in when trying to get dressed.

And we nearly tripped over a box of cleaning products placed near the access door to our bedroom door, which required us to move the box to be able to open. Thankfully we didn’t trip or injure ourselves or this rating would have been the lowest.

And if you need to promptly check out to move a car by 9am from the free spots, you may get clamped as breakfast is exceptionally slow.

Like many places in the sector, the hotel is recruiting, but with only six rooms to cater for, a 50 minute wait is unacceptable. 

We had to sit in the small bar, as the actual dining room isn’t big enough. We had to move chairs to have ones of a height that could reach the table. 

After several minutes, I sought out the staff. 
Breakfast itself when it came was delicious but the table was too small to fit everything, so felt cramped.

Also, after a few minutes, my husband  was asked to repeat our order for only two people and still received the wrong toast. Thankfully, we weren’t rushing but the delay let the lovely food down. 

Chloe was pleasant enough but given our comments about not bothering with the correct toast due to the existing wait, an apology at least was merited.

I’d only stay again in a much larger room, but at those prices with limited facilities and slow breakfast, would be more likely to try somewhere else.
All things that could be addressed which would do justice to what is a beautiful property.
As with another review, this isn’t accessible at all. 
The spiral staircase could be a challenge for some.

Served a purpose and would recommend with some improvements

We held a family event here yesterday for approximately 45 people. The food (which was all home made at the venue) was outstanding. The staff are excellent and we were lucky enough to have good weather so were able to take advantage of the lovely walled garden and decking area. Two of our party booked a room for the night and they were very impressed with their stay . Great Staff,Great Food, Great Accommodation.

Absolutely Amazing

Where can I start?
From the moment I booked our 2 night stay the service was second to none, friendly, attentive and put me at ease with lots of great information.
Upon arrival we were greeted with warmth and true friendliness, the moment we pulled up outside the hotel we were truly impressed with the quality of the building. Once inside the quality and tastefulness of the decor is stunning , attention to detail I every way is exceptional, not often my wife goes somewhere and wants to buy it all for our own home, fabulous.
We stayed in the peony room which was spacious, homely and spotlessly clean, amenities and refreshments were all of very high quality, the bed was very comfortable , linen of very high quality, most definitely on a par with the 5 star hotels we have stayed in around Europe.
The service and staff were also of a 5 star standard which is clearly part of the owners (Jane) approach to customer experience, literally nothing was too much trouble or even not already thought about, quite incredible in a small boutique hotel. 
Breakfast matched the expectations of such a professional and customer focused establishment, food quality was exceptional , my wife is vegan and that was clearly not an issue as she had options that she was very happy with, again 5 star service.
All in all we feel we have found a real gem here and will become regular visitors, in a world of hustle and bustle this place is a rare oasis of calm and care . If you like the finer things in life at very reasonable prices then this hotel is a must try.

Absolutely excellent getaway, 5 star in every way

Jane and the Stoneleigh House team recently hosted an evening celebration for us.  From the first meeting to the last moments of the 'do' Jane and her team were to notch - they couldn't have worked harder or been more lovely. 

The food, drinks service and venue are absolutely perfect for a celebration - the garden is stunning and the inside is fabulous for a 'private house party' type vibe.  

We also had a very comfortable overnight stay and have been for drinks and afternoon tea at other times too.  Its a real asset to the town - if you haven't been, go and explore it!

Amazing customer care and service

Friendly staff, good food, comfortable rooms  and a real personal touch made our stay a real highlight of a trip to see the British Grand Prix.  Sometimes a hotel is just a place to put one’s head down.  This was so much more. Highly recommended.

I travelled to the UK to watch the British Grand Prix with my teenage sons.  We had two rooms at the top of the house which afforded us a degree of privacy.  The rooms were beautiful and had a lovely individual feel to them.  

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, the service was spot on.  The boutique nature of the hotel lends itself to an intimacy that is very comforting.  I have no doubt that we did not represent the typical guests of the hotel but that did not deter the staff from delivering an exceptional service.  

I would have no hesitation in booking again.

Friendly service and great food.

Lovely little hotel in the heart of Buckingham. Rooms were clean and tidy and very comfortable.
Breakfast was outstanding and the staff could not do more for you.
Only down side parking can be a bit difficult in the town.

Great Beautiful Little Hotel

We booked two rooms as we were attending a wedding nearby. Loved the decor very different, stayed in Peony which was gorgeous, comfy bed, loads of space, massive bathroom! Family stayed in Wisteria which could be converted into twins, again lovely room, nice decor, only had bath with shower over which was difficult to get in and out of, especially if older, bathroom floor very slippy too, maybe some larger bath mats would have solved this. 
We were able to have drinks in the bar until 8pm before we ate in town, which was nice, although I don't think this is normally open, think we had been advised it closed at 7! 
Parking is an issue as outside on the street was full and you can only park there after 5 and then it would need moving, however we were able to park in the courtyard which we really appreciated!
Breakfast- this was the only thing that let it down, the actual breakfast quality was great, no complaints there. The main issue was the service and timing. The menu is fine lots to choose from but it isn't clear that you need to order everything individually, the first day we just ordered the cooked breakfast thinking the fruit, yogurt, pastries, toast would be served while we waited, this isn't the case, so we waited 25 mins with nothing to eat. After the cooked breakfast we asked for croissants, fruit, the waitress literally brought out a bowl of berries and a croissant each. The next morning we asked what the pastries were as the menu says pastries and croissants, but we were told it's just a croissant, we decided to just get the cooked breakfast and instead of a croissant and fruit ask for pancakes with maple syrup (this was an option on the menu) we made it clear it was just one portion to share. The waitress checked in the kitchen and told us we could but it would be charged! I found this a little pedantic given we weren't having any pastries etc! We didn't bother. Service is slow we had to ask for everything such as toast, more drinks, sauces etc. like I said when it does arrive it's very nice!

Quirky place, nice decor

I enjoyed our one night stay here on a Monday night in April.  Our room was Peony - comfortable bed and linen, plenty of towels.  Bathroom was huge and amazing.  Walk in double shower and separate free standing deep bath which was utter luxury.  
Our welcome was personal and professional.  And Helpful Let us know of local restaurants to walk to.  We chose a nearby Indian Dipalee which was very good.
Breakfast was fabulous.  Full English or smashed avocado and poached eggs or pancakes with generous amount of berries or bacon: between us, our group tried them all and we loved them all.  
Parking is free after 5 before 9 right outside but only 1 hour between those hours which was all we needed.  Apparently can park nearby for longer. 
This was a lovely night away.
