Horwood House Hotel

The room was in the old Stables and was very comfortable

I had the fish and chips from the 'bar' menu, The chips were ok, the peas were trying too hard to be something special, the curry sauce was about the consistency of a thin soup and the fish, which appeared to be from frozen, was tasteless and was dripping in grease.

Stayed a few times, much preferred the room location this time near the Stables for a 3 day stay. Pool and leisure facilities always welcome. The grounds and gardens are nice for a stroll. Breakfast has good choices.

Easy to get lost round the hotel corridors, restaurant can get pricy and busy so need to prebook.

Bâtiments magnifiques, décoration très jolies. Nourriture très bonne. Jardins absolument incroyable. Piscine et salle de sport très agréables. Stationnement très facile. Pour un séjour calme, éviter le week-end

Très grand établissement qui accueille plusieurs réceptions en même temps ainsi que les personnes qui séjournent à l’hôtel. Nous sommes venus nous reposer et même si l’hôtel est calme, cela fait beaucoup de monde, d’agitation et le restaurant et le petit déjeuner sont donc des moments avec beaucoup de bruits en raison du grand nombre de personnes présentes. Par ailleurs notre chambre était au bout de l’hôtel. Nous avions des valises lourdes que nous avons dû porter dans les escaliers ce n’était pas agréable. Une fois le week-end passé l’hôtel s’est vidé et c’était très agréable

Great location - impressive first impression. The drive towards the building set a great expectation, the reception area was really nice & staff too. However after that room was a let down - zero 'country estate' more Travelodge. One real negative was the door which somehow had no sound insulation whatsoever, so we got a disturbed night. It was if there was no door in place, and the bed was pretty close. For dinner we ordered 2 rump steaks, 1 was only partly edible due to a thick line of gristle all the way through it. Our guy (very friendly) took off the 10% service charge. He shared it was the 2nd one that evening like that. As we rarely get away, I chose not to make a big fuss about it as I didnt want to spoil our 1 night away, but that's disappointing. In the afternoon, the tranquil looking spa pool was anything but - the spa lady explaining "by the way, 4 to 6 is kiddy Splash time". Breakfast was good. It could easily be so much better without changing a lot.

Noise, cost, dinner. Spa too busy.
