Ardencote Manor Hotel, Country Club & Spa  

I did not like having to wait in line for 10 minutes for a cold brekfast half of it wos missing and cold I will not return it's a shame it's a lovely place

I staid there on a business trip, as I to go to the National Motorcycle Museum for a trade show. the room where i was (# 38) was over looking the outdoor swimming pool so i cannot complain; the room was also quite large. the rate was £85/night which is expensive but if you think that it inlcuded breakfast & wifi connection, it's not too bad. You do not have to struggle to park your car. the hotel is also very near to Warwick & stratfford/avon or Coventry so if you fancy a dinner outside it is doable (15 min drive). staff at reception gave me directions to go to the NMM through A roads, thus avoid the ever stuck good old M42 @ B'mingham & it took me 45 minutes at rush hour. Breakfast was ok ; nothing special; did not dinne in the restaurant so cannot comment; did not try the facilities (in door swimming pool or Jacuzi) either. so in short, it is a nice place just 20 minutes drive after J 15 on M 40; good value for money (for business travelers) owing to the above, knowing that hotels near Birmingham airport are usually quickly fully booked & also pricey

We liked the location, rooms, service and the magic the place feels

no reception for indoor pool on hotel side so not sure what you should go do etc

We had a fantastic time at Ardencote. The weather was beautiful so we were able to make the most of the outdoor leisure facilities - tennis, outdoor spa pool and the outdoor pool. The hotel was luxurious and the staff were friendly and helpful. The countryside location and the hotel's lovely grounds were ideal for a relaxing weekend away. Can't wait to go back.

My friend had her wedding reception there and the food and room were very good,

My main complaint is that I booked a double room and stayed in room 123, It had a queen size bed. This was unsuitable for a couple staying the night and meant that I did not sleep well. When I mentioned this to the receptionist she answered that it did not affect the price. If I bought a double bed and a 4' wide bed arrived, I would obviously have cause for complaint.On reflection I wish I had complained when shown to ther room but was keen to re-join the wedding party, and had I realised what an adverse effect it would have on my night's sleep I would have definately complained at the time, it affected my enjoyment of the following day.I Am considering complaining to Trading Standards as this room mis- represented the facts and request a reply in response to this complaint. It is on the basis of this complaint that I could not currently recommend the hotel.

The surroundings

The staff attitude, menu for room service, over all very poor value for money

Friendly staff, attractive surroundings and comfortable accomodation. Also, very good value for money.

The side of the bath was hanging off.

Service was excellent in the Spa and the Hotel. The location is beautiful.

The hotel is in a nice country setting and is a relaxing place to stay.

The Lodge restaurant was very disappointing, the food was very bland.

The staff were exceptionally polite, friendly and accommodating

The evening meal menu was restrictive and would have been good to have daily specials as if you ate in the restaurant two nights running you were faced with the same menu

We really enjoyed using the pool and the hot tub.

The hotel is advertised as having wifi, however we now know that this is not the case we had very limited service throughout our stay. I called reception to enquire about this and they said perhaps it was the location of the room.we later found that we could not get connected anywhere on the grounds!! We felt that wifi reception should not be advertised if the service is not there. We have stayed here a few times in the past and ordered taxis to the town centre and back. This time the price of the taxis has doubled we must have spent nearly £80 in 2 days. Before the hotel used to have a firm but it seems like they use another expensive service. This has made us question if we will go again!!!!!

A quality place to stay, with great facilities backed up by well trained staff.
