Worplesdon Place Hotel

I really enjoyed the hospitality, particularly how I was treated by a staff named Derick that I met when I checked in at night. I enjoyed the place so much that I had to book again and come back 2 days later. Luckily, I found Derick again, and he is such a warm fellow. I think he is a great guy and an exceptional fellow, glad to have experienced his service.

Nothing really, it was great. My new home whenever I visit the United Kingdom.

Lovely room Nice bar area.

Very slow breakfast service. Food prices seemed high so we choose to eat elsewhere.

This was a return stay as last year was great, was not disappointed on our return

Nothing

The design of the suite itself was lovely — modern, spacious, and thoughtfully laid out. The large windows offered a beautiful view of the lake, which was one of the highlights of the stay and made the room feel calm and inviting. The shower was powerful with consistently hot water, and the room was spotlessly clean. In terms of presentation and cleanliness, we genuinely couldn’t fault it. A few members of staff were also very professional and helpful, and their manner was appreciated. Gorgeous smelling products made available for guests to use in the rooms.

The reception booth is located inside the main pub, and because it was so busy, we struggled to hear the staff member checking us in. It would have made far more sense for reception to be placed in the quieter lobby area leading up to the rooms. We were also asked to pay a £30 deposit “in case we ran off with the TV.” I’ve never had to do this in any hotel I’ve stayed in, and it felt unnecessary and excessive. Breakfast was tasty, but at £13.50 it was overpriced. It was the smallest full breakfast I’ve ever been served — a large bowl of baked beans dominating the plate, while the sausage and bacon were tiny, and the mushroom was diced so finely it barely resembled a portion. It didn’t feel like value for money. The bed was uncomfortable, and I woke up with backache. It was clearly two single beds pushed together rather than a proper double. The honesty bar was overpriced, and I strongly suspect the £30 deposit was actually to cover bar use rather than any concern about the TV. For a suite, the complimentary tea and coffee selection was minimal, and a couple of biscuits would have been a simple, reasonable touch considering the room price. As we were gathering our things to leave, we received a knock on the door at one minute to 11am — . It felt like we were being hurried out. My husband explained to the housekeeper that the knock wasn’t necessary as we were already aware of the checkout time. The housekeeper became argumentative, which left us feeling pressured and uncomfortable
