Stoke By Nayland Hotel, Golf & Spa  

I liked the windows that could be opened completely. Yhis allowed my son to hit iron shots through the open window and onto the green. Great practice while dressed only in his y fronts the spa was good as were the sherbert lemons dold in the hotel shop called Pippin. Other than that all pretty standard. The food was bland. The scrambled egg served for breakfast was appaling and Paul Trainee had about as much idea of service as Gordon Brown had about economics. I had to remind myself that we were in essexsuffolk so what did I expect!

I have stayed before so thought i would stay again..very disapointed food was not nice and portions too small for price. Will not stay again. Previous stay much better when best western. Upset to be embarased by staff in restaraunt informing me i had spent my limit on credit card when i wasnt on system and to be told that i had not booked on arrival. Very disapointed and embarasing.

Lovely friendly atmosphere, excellent pool and sauna/steam room . Log fire in the bar was a nice touch . Attentive staff, especially the night barman on Saturday 22nd who put up with us late party goers at 2am with enthusiam :)

Its location.

Reception staff professional but impersonal. Rooms a bit bland in decor.Not sure what made the room 'superior', certainly not the lack of a fridge. Finish and fittings implied a 'just to budget' approach.

Although we are not golfers, we were made to feel very welcome by the staff.

Large room, comfortable, elaxing.

Breakfast too expensive and dinner is too stylish - would like to choose traditional English meals no just restaurant style. I have been on the road for a month now and just enjoy a basic meal.

This was our second stay at the Stoke By Nayland Hotel and once again we were not dissapointed. Staff, facilities and food all excellent. A comfortable place to stay for a special occasion without feeling that the hotel is " too posh " to relax. Well worth the money.

Very poor mobile reception caused a problem when my husband needed to receive an important business call.

I liked the huge bed.Very peaceful, very quiet.The gym/spa facilities looked excellent, but my stay was too short to enjoy them.

It felt much further in to the country side (from the a12) than it looked on the map. It was a narrow winding road/lane. Pitch black at night. Worth the effort if you were staying longer than 1 night. I also didn't like the fact that upon arrival, payment details were taken from my card including an extra £25, over-and-above the room rate, 'just-in-case' I might use/want something extra. This is despite completing a registration form on which I had stated I didn't require anything but the room.

great place to get away from it all,spa facilities were good, and the 2 golf courses looked good too. all staff were very friendly and helpful......a family run hotel.....and it showed, lots of attention to detail.

I thought the spa facilities were very good, and enjoyed the treatment I had on the last day of my stay.

I found the evening menu overpriced and rather mediocre in terms of quality. My steak was over cooked, and my partner's meal was not particularly special. If this were a stand alone restaurant, I would not dine there again.

I was there for a wedding & had the best day I have ever had at the wedding .... the location & staff were fantastic

Excellent welcome, reception staff friendly and informative. Great swimming pool and golf course.
