The hotel is situated in the Wokefield, not the mansion, surrounded by beautiful countryside. The rooms in a separate building were spacious and nice, though the bathroom heating couldn't be turned off. The service offered was extremely helpful, although lacking in team coordination and training. The location seemed stunning, and the staff were very helpful despite Storm Dennis limiting outdoor exploration. The dining experience was a bit expensive and canteen-style, with some service delays. Overall, the hotel presents a mix of positives and negatives in various aspects.

The hotel had stunning grounds but the room was smaller than expected, suitable for families with children. Service varied with some rude staff but others like the guest relations manager, Bevan Hardcastle, were fantastic. The location was remote, making me feel disconnected, although the English countryside was nice. The dining experience had some issues with cold food and long waits for coffee. Facilities were average.

My stay at the hotel was truly exceptional. The rooms were without a doubt second to none - absolutely incredible. They were very basic but typical of a conference hotel. The size was very good, comfortable, nicely decorated, and exceptionally clean. However, there was an issue with the unexpected £50 charge for extras that we didn't authorize, explained as a pre-authorization but felt more like a payment.

The check-in process took about 20 minutes, but once we were attended to, the staff were very efficient, friendly, and dealt with my requests immediately. I cannot praise them enough; they were a credit to the company.

Location

7.0

The location seemed stunning, although we couldn't fully explore due to Storm Dennis. Despite this, I could see the potential for a great experience in better weather conditions. The surrounding land could be maximized better as some areas looked a bit grubby and in need of updating.

Dining

5.0

The dining experience was a bit of a letdown. While the staff were pleasant, there were issues with basic operations like managing tea/coffee machines, leading to queues for drinks. The chaos during busy times was noticeable with dirty tables, lack of cutlery, plates, and food shortages - it was a total shambles.

Facilities

7.0

The facilities were good overall but could benefit from some improvements in the dining area to enhance the overall experience.

I stayed in a room right above the hotel's main entrance, which unfortunately did not have air conditioning, making it uncomfortably hot. The room was located in a separate building that was a 10-minute walk from the nearest reception. It was not as expected, being small, damp, with stains, and in need of renovation.

Despite being dominated by the golf course, the location seemed stunning. Unfortunately, we couldn't fully explore due to Storm Dennis, but it would be great to return in better weather for the full experience.

The dining experience was a real disappointment. Although the Japanese dishes were good, there was no organization in the timing of our bookings, resulting in a 15 to 20 deep queue.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. While the rooms were outdated and in need of refurbishment, the car training center and conference facilities added some practicality. However, the breakfast experience was disorganized and the food was just warm, not hot, which was a downside.
