Stanbrook Abbey Hotel, Worcester

Stayed at Stanbrook Abbey for one night - one of the best sleeps I have had for a while! Dinner was lovely, very relaxing and food was delicious, and we got a nice birthday plate for my partner - thank you! Breakfast was also delicious, and make sure you explore the whole hotel, they have a games room which we really enjoyed before dinner. Thank you all for a great stay.

Beautiful location, excellent staff, jaw dropping creature rooms. A real gem. We came here first on our wedding night 7 years ago and have been returning every year possible. We don’t plan on ever stopping. If I had one note, it would be that the restaurant could use a tasting menu. You’ve put a lot of effort into the food but it needs a hook to really make it special and a tasting menu would really make dinner into an event to make a whole evening out of.

We recenty stayed at Stanbrook Abbey Hotel for seven days. We booked the Cardinal Suite and it was well worth it. Situated on the to p floor overlooking the hotel front and with its own very large balcony the accomodation was large and extremely well equiped. With its six seater table we choose to take our meals in the suite and room service was always on time and well presented. As a disabled guest this facility was welcome. The hotel staff were most efficient at looking after us and meeting our requirements and expectations for seven days, not easy at the best of times! Situated in large grounds with plenty of parking space the hotel hosts weddings and school proms etc in accomodation which does not interfere with hotel guests. This is a delighful hotel ideally positioned for visits to the Cotswolds, the Mmalverns, there is plenty to see or do. there is even plenty to see in the hotel itself being once an Abbey and Convent. Well worth a visit

Lovely location for a special birthday celebration (there were 10 of us) and if there are no special dietary requirements, the standard afternoon tea looked delicious. However, if you require gluten free I would not recommend as the scones were tiny, flat like shortbread and so crunchy that I struggled to cut them in half and they blasted into many pieces - worst I've ever had and so disappointing for such a lovely place. We waited over 1h 15 for the food to be brought (perhaps due to a friend's last min order for dairy free) and then they seemed to mix up gluten free and the vegan menu for my friend. I was not well on the evening, think I may have been glutened via the mix up of menus despite being assured it was all gluten free.

My friends and I visited Stanbrook Abbey recently, for 'coffee and a catch up'. I had never been before and so was particularly looking forward to going. The weather was beautiful and we sat outside on the terrace. When the waitress came out to us, first impressions were not promising. The waitress was quite sullen and abrupt when we asked about the choice of cakes on offer and as there was only one cake available and no option to have any type of pastry, we just ordered our hot drinks. The reply from the waitress was, "so you don't want any cake now then?" Our hot drinks came out and even though we had also asked for a jug of tap water, a member of our party had to go in and remind them that we had also asked for water. We were sat outside on the terrace for about 2 hours and at no point did the waitress come back out to us. When it came to paying the bill, the waitress rang up the final amount and we asked if we could all pay separately. We were told that "we don't give change". Two of us had the correct change, my friend had a £10 note and so used the coins we had put on the counter to sort out her own change. At this stage I actually saw the waitress roll her eyes. The last person in our group asked if it was easier if she just paid the whole amount on her card and then take the cash from the counter top. "Not really" was the response. Before we left, my friend kindly asked the waitress if she was feeling ok, as we felt let down by the service we had experienced. We explained that we had felt an inconvenience, that she had not been very friendly and that we had been left very disappointed. Each point we mentioned, she came back with an answer. It was extremely uncomfortable and was witnessed by another member of staff. We remained calm and were merely giving feedback to how our experience had made us feel. What we really needed to hear at that moment, was "I'm sorry if you have been made to feel like that today"
