    More teabags and milk needed in the room

    The breakfast was excellent - I judge a hotel by how they cook scrambled eggs and yours were first rate. The main house is beautiful - it felt a bit like stepping back in time to a country house weekend.

    The only thing that didn’t work great for us was that the mattress was very soft. It gave us back ache, but that’s a personal thing, lots of people like their mattress that way. We just like ours firm.

    The place is absolutely beautiful, the spa is amazing and the staff is super nice.

    The coffee. For us the coffee wasn't strong enough. We couldn't get the coffee machine to work in our room and no other coffee was provided. The choice of teas was limited. There was no herbal or decaffeinated versions. The evening meal was a little solemn. Although beautifully presented with candles and white table cloths, we felt we had in talk in whispers. Although the absence of canned hotel music was appreciated and appropriate for the building, classical music might ease the silence. We would have liked more information on who the portraits were of.

    This was one of the best breakfasts we've ever had, combining a more than adequate buffet with service on the main hot meal and lots of healthy choices. The grounds of ninety acres provided peace and serenity despite the hum of surrounding busy roads. The spa facility was excellent and equally as calm. The house had a rich fascinating history. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The log fire and comfortable downstairs rooms with vistas on the grounds.

    Nothing I didn't like. The room was lovely, the service was excellent, the staff were all friendly and helpful. The Hotel building was lovely and every public room was beautifully furnished and a pleasure to be in. The grounds were extensive and very well maintained. I am used to staying in nice hotels but Hartwell House was everything I hoped it would be and more. I will definitely go back.

    The breakfast was excellent. Lots of choice - something to suit everyone.

    The only down side is that there is only one dining option which is fine dining, very good but expensive and the menu doesn't change.

    Wonderful stately home style hotel. Lots of space to luxuriate in even when the hotel was full it didn't feel busy.

    We could not use the bath/shower because it was very deep and had no handholds. As we are over 70, it looked simply too dangerous to risk.

    Every member of staff was attentive and caring, being most helpful at every occasion with my disabled husband.

    We often find at hotels that the bathroom light is too bright. So that using the toilet during the night, one is faced with the choice of struggling in dark or using a torch.

    I enjoyed my breakfast. However, we were charged for 2 breakfasts (according to the bill delivered in advance to the room), even though my wife never takes breakfast. Should we have stated that in advance?
