Stayed in the hotel for the 90s rave night. It wasn’t a rave it was just a disco. 

Waited 20 mins for somebody to come to reception so we could check in 

Only one toilet roll given in the room

Coffee was stone cold in the morning and we had to wait nearly 40 mins for breakfast

Won’t be returning

Absolutely Beautiful hotel, stunning  restaurant and delicious food, friendly and attentive staff who went above and beyond to make us comfortable, nothing was to much, highly recommend and we will definitely be back, keep up the good work guys

Stunning and delicious

Went for my friends 60th lunch time , A lot of money spent big group of us , did not feel staff , went the extra mile  food was ok ,
Went again afternoon tea , with friends over 20 of us , presentation was poor , each had a plant with sandwiches no extra trimmings then cakes on slate boards which looked a bit better, if 2 went for afternoon tea would be on a cake stand and made to look lovely felt let down !

Lovely place , but felt let down , as we were a big group, and not looked after as i thought we should have been !

When it's a steak night, you need to serve great steak. Sadly three out of four of ours were overdone and dry. To their credit they re-cooked the steaks, a little rare the second time around but far better. They gave us some discount for the delay and we passed on desserts.

Could do better.

Our wedding was 8 months ago. My partner was happy that there would be ‘local ales on tap’ for him and his real ale drinking guests. He even asked Marie and the Bar Manager if he could request a specific ale. He was told that he could and the Bar Manager would accommodate. Come the day of our wedding we were told there was NO REAL ALE  on the premises, neither what my partner had requested or any other ale on tap despite this being promised in the wedding brochure. This was a HUGE disappointment to my partner and his guests. We don’t know the reason for this, whether the wedding guests the day before drank all the beer or someone failed to order, but we were led to believe fault lay at the door of the Bar Manager who was not on duty that day. Staff went out to buy bottles of beer but that did not compensate for the lack of real ale at all. (We were also pulled away from our guests when we were asked to hand back the key to the honeymoon suite which came as part of our package. We had to convince someone at the other end of a phone, via a staff member, that this was the case. We managed it eventually).
The food was lovely as were the staff and the surroundings. However, 8 months after the wedding I am still plagued by my partner’s disappointment that he didn’t have the wedding he wanted and my memories of our wedding day are tarnished by this. I try not to think about it at all, but hope this review will lay some ghosts to rest.

Unhappy memories of wedding day

We decided to have our wedding in the dining room at The Stanwick Hotel in August 2023 and it was everything and more that we imagined. We are an older couple wanting a more intimate wedding with under 20 people for the wedding ceremony and breakfast followed by a few extra guests in the evening for drinks and nibbles. Marie was very helpful and accommodating, allowing us to plan our day our way but taking care of the finer details along the way.

The whole house is beautiful and did not require too much decoration. We decided on some carefully placed flowers. We stayed overnight in the balcony room overlooking the courtyard garden. It was really pretty room. Light and airy with a big comfy bed. 

On the day and throughout the evening staff were always to hand ensuring things ran smoothly which meant could relax and not worry about a thing ! The hotel provided 2 bride and groom thrones for the ceremony and wedding breakfast which was a lovely touch.  The  Afternoon Tea was nicely presented and tasty. We also had many complements about the evening buffet spread. 

The Stanwick hotel ensured we had a very special wedding day that we will both never forget. I would like to send a BIG thank you to all the staff who helped on the day as well as Marie who put us at ease before the ceremony. I would recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a place to hold their wedding big or small. The hotel the grounds/gardens and rooms in the hotel are beautiful and the staff are especially accommodating.


Our Wedding Day 2023

The food was very good and the staff were excellent but the stay was unfortunately ruined by the people in the adjoining rooms being VERY inconsiderate, shouting and yelling and constantly moving something scraping it along the floor. The room was supposedly a "Deluxe" room but it was certainly not worth the premium price charged, there was a puddle on the floor of the ensuite from a leaking radiator which was a slip hazard, the main door lock did not work properly and the room was lit up by an overly bright indicator lamp on an emergency light.
We eventually packed up and left at 1:30 in the morning having been unable to get any sleep.
The owners need to improve the sound proofing between the rooms.

Very dissapointed, not worth the cost.

Visited Stanwick Hotel for a wedding, beautiful venue with a warm and friendly atmosphere. Everyone from the bar and waiter staff through to Marie the manager on the day were all friendly and happy to help at any moment.  Amazing food and canapés and very well stocked and affordable bar.  The rooms were very comfy and very reasonably priced. Will definitely visit and stay again. 

Amazing venue and Staff

Just had our wedding here over the weekend and I can honestly say we had the best experience ever.

We stayed the night before and with us 16 other guests where we had dinner in the restaurant. Food was amazing and service was great too. They had a lot to deal with and they managed it so well. Everyone left feeling full and satisfied. Thanks to Gemma the waitress who served us! 

We set up the evening before and the staff were so kind even when we were running around like headless chickens. They were calm and accommodating. 

The wedding day itself run so smoothly and Marie was so attentive double checking everything with our wedding schedule we had planned on our previous meetings. Sophie who coordinated in the afternoon was great too. 

There were a few tiny niggles and last minute changes that we needed but it was all amended discreetly.

Again the food was amazing. The canapés, wedding breakfast and evening food. Everyone we spoke to enjoyed their dishes and the evening food was demolished! 

We were directed when needed to where we had to be and the room changes were swift.

The grounds were incredibly well kept and beautiful and everyone who stayed said their rooms were lovely. Some were admittedly bigger than others but that cannot be helped. 

We were so lucky to have an outdoor ceremony and have the outdoor bar open. All the bar staff were so friendly (Mariam especially) and Philip is so lovely with his great outfit choices too! 

We would also like to the DJ and florist included in the package as they listened to everything we wanted and were the icing on the cake. DJ John and Rockabilly Rose.   

The only slight comment we would suggest is that emails are replied to quicker as we had to chase at times and it gave us a bit of anxiety. However we know that wedding season can be hectic and had no reflection on the day itself. 

If you are thinking of getting married here or even having an overnight stay or a meal please don’t hesitate to come to this quirky beautiful venue! 

August wedding

We needed a nice restaurant to have a special birthday celebration dinner.  I contacted the Stanwick Hotel and asked about arranging a set menu for our guests.  Mandy was so helpful in arranging a specific menu to accommodate all my fussy relative’s requirements and kept it within our budget.

The food was absolutely delicious.  I couldn’t fault a single dish and all guests commented on how much they enjoyed theirs.  

The staff were friendly and incredibly helpful.  I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a nice dinner and will be going back.

My only very tiny negative would be that, as we were sat in the conservatory part of the restaurant and another group had a table, it can get very loud.
