Whittlebury Hall and Spa  

I only chose whittlebury because of location, my first choice was fully booked. It was close to where I needed to be. The bar with all the nice framed motor racing prints was the only redeeming feature in the hotel, some very interesting pictures but no nuts or crisps for sale. Nonsense in a hotel for reps.

Personally it was far to big and impersonal. Its perfect for golf folk and conferences but it lacks style,character and charm. The walk from the car-park took too long.The reception rooms are vast in scale despite being full of furniture and the walk to my room took ages and I would advise anyone not able to walk much to ask for a room near reception. The hairdryer didnt work, and the batteries to the remote needed replacing.There was plenty of breakfast but it didn't actually taste of anything. The pool was a disapointment, much too shallow, the celing too high and the decor is unsophisticated and charmless.I Felt I was being accomodated rather like a battery chicken, essentially nonething wrong but not much right either.

The leisure facilities are amazing. A range of spa and pampering second to none. Beautiful and well maintained. Great service.

Expensive.

The hotel is only a stone's throw from Silverstone GP Circuit. The spa facilities were reasonably good but severely overcrowded. The overall value of our stay was quite good, using one of the online deals through booking.com, but if I had paid the full rate then I would have felt the hotel was severely overpriced.

The hotel were unable to tell me whether our room would be available as a twin or not over the phone, prior to booking. However, based on the statement on their website, I took a chance on turning up, then waved a printout of their own website info and my booking request at them on arrival, making it clear that they should have taken the trouble to contact me if they couldn't fulfil this. The duty manager miraculously found that they could actually accommodate, rather than give us a refund. Make sure you look for a good deal when booking because Whittlebury Hall definitely isn't up to the standard of a Seaham Hall or other top spa hotels. The hotel will also tell you that certain packages aren't available when you try to book then offer you the exact same treatments, outside of the package you wanted, at an inflated price when you arrive. The rooms are also quite dated.

Superb aesthetics, very upmarket, with superb facilities. Country Manor style, the whole setting very picturesque.

Check in time not til 3pm which was a bit of an inconvenience and also strange as check out time was 11am. Also, drinks were a tad on the expensive side.

The food was superb. The staff were all very friendly and went above and beyond to please us.

There was not a suitable place for me to apply my make up.

The hotel was clean and friendly and the food was very nice.

The hotels decor was slightly dated. It felt freshly decorated but the style was very late 80's/ early 90's. I prefer more modern decor.
