Breakfast was a little sparse. Wouldn't let us check in remotely earlier than set time. We had a wedding to attend

Matthew, United Kingdom

Brasserie menu was good, as was the food. Very long wait for breakfast and when it arrived the one small piece of bacon was hard to the point of being inedible. It had clealy beed cooked and left under a lamp, or the like, to keep warm.

An Inside Look at The Wood Norton

The Wood Norton was built in 1897 by exiled French Royalty and was the host of Royal Wedding in 1907 between the Duc D'Orleans sister Princess Louise and and Prince Charles of Bourbon. The chapel at Wood Norton was too small for the wedding and another chapel was erected on the lawn. This had not been consecrated so at the last minute the civil wedding had to be held in a corrugated hut down Avon Street, Evesham. The main ceremony was then held at Wood Norton. In 1939 the BBC bought the site so it could relocate its operations away from London in the event of hostilities. A dozen studios were quickly erected and by 1940 Wood Norton was one of the largest broadcasting centres in Europe with an average output of 1,300 programmes a week. It was home of the BBC’s Monitoring Service until 1943, when monitoring moved to Reading. The move was made to release space so Wood Norton could become the BBC’s main broadcasting centre should London have to be evacuated. In 1940 a fire destroyed the top story of the Hall. It is unknown what started the fire but it was thought to be sunlight shining through a skylight that ignited insulation packing in the roof

“Great buildings and gardens but poorly managed staff...haven't been on the Cust Service Course!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉Off hand welcome, staff "attitude" somewhat flakey...continuously having to ask for staples such as salt and pepper, side plate......complete lack of initiative. Restaurant table booked, when we arrived, no table available at booked time........suggested we "go to the bar!" no apology, no "let me sort it with the bar staff!" Bar staff clearly "lost" at having to deal with food rather than drinks.....
눇Location and buildings, gardens are lovely

눉Wasn't keen on the separate buildings, especially in rainy weather. The car parking is a little inconvenient, but I don't believe there is much they could do about that. Also during our three days there was a wedding party every day, which may not be to everyone's taste.
눇The meals were very good. They obviously have an excellent chef.

눉The receptioniste was not friendly at all. The first room dark and dated. We had to go through all kinds of doors with our luggage without a lift. After my complaines we got a room in the mail building, with lift, and had to pay 20,00 pounds extra. In the bathroom the valves from the shower were not sealed in the wall.
눇The view from our second room. The first room was dark and not cosy, it was in the building behind het headbuilding.

눉Terrible value for money, reception staff refused to call us a taxi so we had to pay for a roaming call on our mobile. Service was slow and unattententive. Paid £220 for a deluxe room which didn't match up to the photos, bathroom needed upgrading and toilet wasn't even attached to the wall properly
눇Comfy pillows and duvet, nice view from the room

눉The only tiny thing and this was a first at ANY property that I've stayed in was that there was no fresh bread offered at the breakfast buffet. Nice sliced bread was supplied on request which was sufficient, but as I say.... a bit odd.
눇Wonderful property and staff. Rooms clean and comfy. Gardens are superbly kept and are a credit to the gardeners. Worth every penny.

눉The Wood Norton primarily markets itself as a wedding venue and for three of the four nights we stayed there were wedding parties in the hotel. If not part of a wedding party you might want to ask for rooms 301 to 309 or 401 to 409 if you are in the Pear Tree Mews annex as these are away from the Orangery where the wedding events are held. It can get a bit noisy in the rooms nearest to the Orangery. Parking was also little difficult on the nights there were weddings on.
눇Very welcoming and helpful staff. Comfortable and clean accommodation in very pleasant surroundings. Good breakfasts with several choices.
