Thank you to the lovely staff (especially Rachel) for accomodating me and my boyfriend for 3 nights. The food at the restaurant was incredible, the hotel was well kept and looked after, the staff were very hospitable and more than happy to help us and we really enjoyed the pool. The grounds were beautiful and immaculate and we enjoyed exploring them. I also enjoyed learning about the history of the estate in relation to Charles Darwin and all the staff were very knowledgeable on this topic. 5 stars, very peaceful and will return again to enjoy the atmosphere. A great place to disconnect and go touch grass. Please give my warmest regards to Rachel on the desk and thank her for all her help. She deserves a pay rise for going above and beyond for her clients.

I cant understand why this has such a low star rating as I had a wonderful stay, the staff were all brilliant, Finlay I belive was in the restaurant and was amazing, the food was really nice and the room was great also nice communal area with stuff for kids which I think was a nice touch, I believe it did feel slightly short staffed with us having to wait a while to check in as reception staff was busy somewhere and also waited a while between courses in the restaurant. I had a great time and would recommend to anyone especially as part of the paultons breaks as its 10 minutes from the park and is really nice

Was able to request a family room with a bunk bed. The staff were absolutely lovely and helpful (special thanks to Finlay and Shakira) they had a dragon walk on which was good fun despite the rain. Faults was breakfast was a bit bland - dinner was brill though although they were out of some options. And it was quite under staffed so we were waiting around 90 mins for our food. Would definitely stay again if we found ourselves in the area again :)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We stayed at Bartley Lodge while attending a wedding and had a really enjoyable stay. It’s a beautiful venue and made a lovely setting for the wedding. The food was great, and all the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. Check-in and check-out were quick and easy, which was a bonus. Our room was in the newer part of the lodge and was a good size, with plenty of space and a decent-sized bathroom. The room was quite warm during our stay, although the hotel did provide a fan. If we were returning on a particularly warm day, I’d probably bring a fan with me just in case, but this was only a minor issue. The breakfast was very nice, and there was also decent beer on tap — San Miguel, which is always a bonus! Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely consider returning. A lovely place to stay and a beautiful wedding venue.

Lovely Hotel but starting to get a little tired just needs a little bit of attention to ‘Pull its socks up’ . Food was nice but attention to the menu needed to give a bit better quality and choice. All the Staff that we met were all very friendly and very helpful. Good facilities for Dogs.

Acudimos para celebrar la boda de mi hermana y su esposo, nosotros sólo pasamos ahí la noche antes de la boda, porque teníamos que estar listas temprano para ayudar a la novia a prepararse. Todo estuvo muy bien, el servicio, las habitaciones, todo el apoyo que nos hicieron durante la organización del evento, simplemente fue un evento extraordinario en un ambiente de sueño.
