Ardencote

Fantastic spa break. Highly recommended. Booked 2 rooms for 2 night spa break. Spa facilities lovely - fantastic trea**ents. Loved the outdoor pool and spa pool which was helped by amazing weather. Indoor pool was cold which is the only negative thing I can say. Indoor jacuzzi great. Loads of other facilities we didn't use - tennis, squash, table tennis. Rooms are lovely - spacious and clean with the comfiest beds ever. Good air con. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner included in our package and although the menu was quite limited the quality of the food was all fantastic hot and fresh. Waiting staff were friendly and efficient and went out of their way to check we were happy with everything. Beautiful hotel both inside and the grounds. Fantastic value spa break.

Spacious, clean and well maintained rooms. Good selection of food and drink available. Grounds are great for a walk. The indoor pool area is nice however the limited number of beds was the only issue! Overall, a really good stay here.

We visited here for a special birthday - the experience was amazing we had use of the spa and I had a tranquil sleep massage which was amazing. We had cream tea and an evening meal all of which was exceptional!, catering for gluten free was not a problem at all. Staff were happy and did everything to help, nothing was a problem We had to move rooms as the midgets were bad in one of the rooms, we were quickly moved into a different room.

Ardencote is a lovely hotel with very professional, and conscientious staff. All staff done a great job room cleaned to a high standard. Dining room staff very efficient polite and welcoming. They were responsive without being intrusive. Couldn't fault them. Bar staff again really courteous, professional and the barman sorry don't remember his name he offered to make any cocktail I wanted even if not on list when I suggested a cocktail made with rum he came up with a really amazing cocktail which I thoroughly enjoyed. Reception staff most helpful too. Would definitely stay again beautiful hotel fab facilities amazing food let chefs know! and surroundings are stunning. Please let all staff know about this review.

No spa staff to greet us just the young man from the gym who did not show us around. More than 12 guests in the spa in the morning session. Walls and floors in the spa were dirty, so was the changing rooms and we did not see a single cleaner all day from 9:30-4:40pm. Lunch was poor. My facial was not able to go ahead and they never offered me a selection of different body trea**ents instead they just gave me one which was not good for me. Poor experience over all and not worth £130 at all. Do not recommend

I would just like to thank everyone at ardencote. My daughter had her wedding reception here March 23rd 2024. Everything went to plan, the staff were excellent and polite, food was lovely they couldn't do enough. Brilliant day and would highly recommend.

We were very impressed from the moment we arrived. Attention to detail was evident, very clean and tidy and the staff are super friendly. We got the feeling that this wasn't a corporate group hotel and we're pleased when we were told it was indeed family owned. Spa break deal was exceptional value and the food was excellent! We will be back!

We've just had a fabulous week's break at Ardencote. All the staff are exceptional and congratulations must especially go to Andrew and his team, with a special mention for Abhi, who together with the other staff in the bar and restaurant made it such a nice experience. The food is good and the speed of service in the restaurant is the best we've ever encountered in any hotel. The reservation and reception staff also made sure we had everything we needed as did the cleaning team. The room we had was lovely. Clean with a bright airy feel and spotlessly clean. The hotel has good leisure facilities and is in beautiful grounds, though is quite remote so you will need a car. Despite the five star review, I always like to give a few bits of feedback for areas that could be improved: 1. The leisure facilities were closed for four days for emergency maintenance. We had to ask for a refund for the inconvenience. It would have been nice if this had been offered automatically. 2. The orange juice at breakfast is not nice. Tastes like orange squash 3. The common areas in the hotel - corridors, bar, restaurant are cold. The rooms are fine but more could be done in the colder months to heat the hotel 4. My wife's dietary requirement were catered for but as a gluten free dairy free person she had to have the same dessert each night. Would have been nice if at least one other option had been offered as we notified of the requirements well in advance. Overall, a brilliant hotel and experience and we will be back.

We have just returned after a 2-night stay here to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary and it was lovely. The rooms are very clean and a good size with a very comfy bed. The staff in both the hotel and the spa are the friendliest I have come across in a long time. The food is absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. The only thing I would say is that overall, the whole place could be doing with a bit of modernisation but it's nothing that affects the quality of the stay. Thank you !
