I have stayed at Whately Hall many times over the past 17 years, mostly through work. The hotel has shown its age over the years, but the refurb has started. My bedroom was ideal. The newly refurbed bathroom looked fantastic. All the staff were very accommodating, professional and polite… a credit to the owners. I would certainly revisit…

I’ve stayed here regularly for around 6 months now but this time I had a bad night sleep, the radiator was constantly hot (which was a struggle in the heat) and the sink had sick in it which the cleaners must of forgotten to clean when doing house cleaning. But other times I’ve never had a problem but the staff are very helpful and they did move me into a more convenient room the next day .lovely area to stay tho and free parking you can’t go wrong .

Shower was cold in the morning, no hot water and no apology from reception just a 'thank you for letting us know'. Pretty poor response.

Hotel is old/creaky floorboards but lovely, clean and the staff very helpful and friendly. My friend had an issue with her bathroom which had a very musty/sewerage issue smell but she reported in the morning and was reassured it would be dealt with. Delicious breakfast, lot of options, comfortable and clean room, very happy thank you
