Widbrook Grange

Widbrook Grange is a reminder of the more fabulous aspects of English life. The inclusivity and acceptance of change. The cheerfulness in a bit of dowdiness. Laughing at life. They seriously DO welcome dogs. The grounds and rooms are a very interesting combination for pets. The standard menu is great and is accompanied by some very reasonably priced wines. The multitude of gins was not really our thing but fun for lots of folk. One tiny request. Please get a Scrabble set? Preferably an old, wooden one! A wonderful two night stay. Thank you!!

Very disappointed, menus in room out of date so food we had looked forward to was unavailable. Olives and bread on room menu was £8.50 but on paying the new menu had bread as £7.00 and olives tucked away in extras at £4.50, sneaky. The music system in the conservatory was broken and as dog owners we were on our own for a few meals..all coffee/tea and condiments in main restaurant so you have to go and get yourself. The cleaning wasn’t very good, no bed linen changed in the time we stayed, the shower head dirty, mould around bath..the gin menu not updated so choices made they did not have. The dog wash was a dirty tin bath full of rubbish. Conservatory chairs stained. We wanted to leave early but the team couldn’t confirm if we could have a refund as the General Manager was on holiday. This was supposed to be a luxury boutique spa hotel, to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary and husbands up and coming 60th birthday.

I'll begin with the positive. The food was great, presented nicely and hot although the menu doesn't change daily. Now, to the not so good. We were in the Artist room, (room 6) which is advertised as a superior double. Sadly this is far from superior. Apart from the bed being comfortable with good quality bedding, that is the only positive we can find. Where to start.... wardrobe: impossible to hang anything due to the nature of the hanger/rail arrangement. No drawer space for clothes so for the time we were there we had to leave our clothes in the case. There is a desk/dressing table which had 2 small drawers which my husband put his medication in only for it to drop straight through. I sat to dry my hair using the mirror above and I could only see the top of my head. The carpet is not clean and there was no heating despite being told that the heating would be on at 6pm. The windows are all cloudy so can't see out. Now to the bathroom: no blind to the window, so we resorted to putting a towel up. No grab rail for the shower and nowhere to put toiletries while in the shower other than the floor which is not ideal.

I stayed at Widbrook Grange for one night during a business trip and had a fantastic experience. I booked a cosy double room, and while it was on the smaller side (as expected), it was absolutely perfect for what I needed. The room was spotless — the bed and bathroom were both immaculately clean, and the pillows were so fluffy and comfortable, making for a really relaxing and restful stay. The staff were brilliant. Everyone I spoke to was friendly, helpful, and welcoming. One of the team even kindly carried my bag for me, which was a lovely touch. Their warm attitude really made a difference. I also made use of the swimming pool, which was excellent — a real bonus after a long day. It’s a real shame I was only there for one night, as it was such a lovely stay. I would absolutely recommend Widbrook Grange and would love to return for a longer visit next time!

My husband & I have recently returned from a three daybreak at Widbrook Grange celebrating our 55th Wedding Anniversary. We wanted to stay somewhere memorable & we were delighted with our choice. It had everything we desired. This quirky hotel is situated in a pleasant area, there was easy parking, lovely hot showers &a towel rail that was on all day, ensuring that the big fluffy towels were always warm & dry. The very large bed was one of the comfiest we have ever slept in, the food was great & the staff excellent. Particular mention should be made of Angela the delightful waitress, who always went above & beyond what was expected.

First time we stayed at this hotel, at first look very Quirky but also very nice, the room we had Was very large beds comfortable all in a terrace the food was very good and the service and staff excellent. Stayed 2 nights very enjoyable would come again.
