De Vere Hotel Oulton Hall  

Another Devere Hotel that delivers what it promises. We loved this hotel, from start to finish. Firstly the staff were all pleasant, friendly and happy to assist. The hotel has a real crazy layout which I did get lost a few times, but nevertheless did not spoil my enjoyment and just adds to the character of the bulding. The room was a fair size, clean and we loved the toweling robes. Some may say the rooms need a makeover, but I thought it was just fine and dandy and met our expectations in terms of clenliness, comfort and a great shower. Free wifi is a great bonus too. Breakfast was a pleasant experience, you help yourself to whatever you like from the hot and cold buffets with just about everything you could want for a hearty start to the day. We booked the hotel through booking.com and received a favourable discounted room rate which included breakfast. The onsite leisure centre meets all requirements and the staff were pleasant.

Their was a problem with the sauna on the day of my visit, however the charming deputy manager (James McDevitt) resolved the situation to my complete satisfaction in a very professional manner.

From the moment of check in it was obvious this would be enjoyable

The location . It is very quiet even though hotel busy. Choice of things to do in and around the hotel. It retains some of the old charm.

Cost of A La carte rather expensive in Hotel.

Beautiful hotel in lovely grounds. Staff very helpful and friendly. Amanda, the reception manager was great and ensured that our stay met (and actually exceeded) our expectations. Overall, a fantastic stay!

Friendly staff,good food.

Smallish bedrooms compared with other De Vere Hotel ie (Slayley Hall)

Enjoyed all aspects of hotel which made our stay relaxing and very pleasent.

Dining room lighting was a little dark. Could have done with being a bit brighter.

Very relaxed atmosphere, with some very nice touches in the room.

We were left to wander in the dark looking for the restaurant in the golf club. A few more lights and signs would have been good, or an escort from the hotel would have been preferable.

This is a good place geographically to meet our friends.The golf course is not bad 'though could be improved at this time of year. The deal we got at £80 b and b was better than the Hotel's price.The rooms are O.K. and the breakfast excellent.

The cost of eating is ,in our opinion too high and even if we stayed for dinner (which we didn't ) and paid the high prices we would also have been paying much too much for drinks. Car parking outside the Hotel is very restricted.

Good location, great building

Had to wait 70mins for my meal to arrive via room service, then part of the order was wrong.

Very impressive building, lots of quiet seating, very relaxed atmosphere. Choice of restaurant, one less formal, with practical food available as well as finer dining. Breakfast was well done, lots of variety and a few cooked-to-order specials as well. Staff were friendly, always offering a greeting, very attentive in the restaurant. I didn't use the sports facilities but they looked quite good. I'm not a golfer but it would have been nice to explore the countryside had the weather been better.. Room was very quiet, very little noise or disturbance.

Tv in the room was very dated, reasonable choice of channels but I had to stand in front of the set to get the remote to work. First night one restaurant was closed, the other only booking after 9pm so I opted for room service, not the sort of quality one might expect of a four star hotel....

Beautiful building with lovely grounds. Breakfast was very good.

Corridors were too warm and bathroom needs a makeover.

Good location , very relaxing, breakfast excellent.

Very cold in lounge area main door open, had to move to another room to be comfortable. Let down in a small way by people not always doing whet they are paid to do, eg .No tea or coffee in room only discovered at 6.30am. Evening meal braised steak had to be returned.
