We enjoyed an overnight stay at Stanwell House this weekend, taking advantage of the Autumn offer. What excellent value for money it was!! The Hotel has been renovated since our last visit, and everything - from the stunning decor, to the welcoming and efficient service was fantastic! Don’t get me started on the cocktails - Zachary the bar manager is a maestro! 🍸The list is delicious and inventive, and would not be out of place in a 5* London Hotel. We didn’t dine at the Hotel on this occasion, but if breakfast is anything to go by, you’re in for a treat. Absolutely faultless stay, and looking forward to returning! 😊

“Country style hotel in the town with some exceptional aspects”

Hotel was straight forward to find but as many have noted finding and getting into the car park is a bit of a challenge. The staff try their best to guide you but the map provided could do with being more focused on the local area. The overall vibe of the hotel is a posh country style, open and light with great wallpaper and overall decor scheme is lovely. Although am sure we booked an 'attic' room we were given the key to a garden room over looking the side view / garden. Room was furnished well - fantastic and comfortable large bed, small wardrobe, seating with a table and dresser. Bathroom was well appointed in an 'edwardian' style of fittings with a large walk-in shower. The room though was very warm initially and we tried the air-con which didn't seem to work and the window had restricted opening. The supplied beverages and shortbread were of a very high quality and fresh milk supplied. Minor note, like many hotels, there were no plates for the biscuits and prefer to be able to drop the tea bags onto a small dish vs the bin (really personal preference). The side window also let in the direct sun, which was strong and low and the room would have benefitted from a roller or other type of privacy blind). The curtains were luxurious too but too early to close them! Had a quick look around the High Street before returning for another cuppa and getting ready to go out (had booked at a local restaurant for a special event but would have liked to try out the hotels menu too). As we had the inclusive cocktail package we indulged in the Salt bar with two lovely made cocktails by the bar staff and provided with a small snack of pop-corn too. With such a comfortable bed and quiet location had a good nights sleep. The shower had quite a limited flow - not sure if that was just our room or a general issue. We were quite late to breakfast but this overall was a really good spread. The buffet part had some good selections (although we didn't see any of the homemade granola - but there was enough other choice). The coffee ordered was just about perfect - so much so we had some later in the day.... Hot food choices were good and other guests seem to say the same. My wifes poached eggs were perfectly runny on the avo / sour dough bread. Full English was excellent and in particular the black pudding was not a type had before - so we asked our server to find out the supplier and will be using this in the future. Some aspects of the breakfast service was a little slow but Tina did a great job and it seemed they were a little under staffed. Checkout all went well and we left the car in the parking place to explore a but further. Before we left we couldn't resist some further cake and another of the excellent coffee and the luxury hot chocolate. Will be planning a return trip for more than one night!! There were a few issues the hotel need to address - would say 4.5 stars really - hoping you can get to 5 next time.
