Extremely disappointed
Pros:

Extremely disappointed with the organisation of events from this hotel. I booked a post registry office wedding reception celebration in May of this year for this August. Several calls and emails were exchanged and confirmation received.
At 5pm ….3 days before the wedding … I had a missed call and an email to say that due to another wedding taking place they were cancelling our booking. It seems that the fact two wedding celebrations had been booked at the same time had been overlooked. A very big oversight given the correspondence since our booking. They made no suggestion of how they could accommodate this other than for my son and his wife to change out of their wedding attire and to dispense with any wedding decor!! This is really poor customer service, and just a generally very hurtful way to treat people. To say nothing of the stress and time wasted for myself with a wedding imminent.
We had booked Billesley for a number of reasons and to find something that filled our requirements at such short notice was extremely stressful. They did suggest an alternative hotel but unfortunately that did not appeal due to its negative reviews.
I feel that the way the events are organised and booked is clearly extremely poor. I would certainly avoid this hotel should I be looking to book another event.
Very disappointed in Billesley Manor.

Pros:

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. Everything was perfect from start to finish. The hotel's authentic heritage interior gave it a unique charm, and the large, peaceful grounds created a true oasis for relaxation. The gardens were beautifully maintained and added to the tranquil atmosphere.
The room was spotless, well-organized, and very comfortable, and the bathroom was equally clean and well-appointed. We also had a wonderful time relaxing in the swimming pool and sauna, which made our stay even more enjoyable.
I have no complaints and would be very happy to come back. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable stay.

Cons:

The only downside of our stay was the inflexible check-in policy. We requested a 2:00 pm check-in, but our request was declined. While we understand that hotels have set policies, a 3:00 pm check-in feels quite late, especially when many hotels offer check-in from 2:00 pm or try to accommodate early arrivals when possible.

It would also be a nice gesture to allow guests to use the leisure facilities, such as the swimming pool and sauna, while waiting for their room to be ready. A little more flexibility would greatly improve the overall.

Recommended to us - and they weren’t wrong!
Pros:

An excellent 4 star hotel. Very relaxing, service is very good and excellent food.
We had an accessible room which was spacious, the AC worked perfectly, and the large, shiny, white bathroom was fabulous.
We timed our visit to see the open air theatre in the garden which was great fun and apparently they’re hoping to do more next year.
The location is great to explore the area in all directions. A great find for us and we will certainly return.
Many thanks for a great break!

Excellent service
Pros:

Quite possibly and definitely hopefully the only review of this type that ever have to do…

After coming back from a holiday I found the work that was being done on my home wasn’t completed even after reassurances that it would be.

More to the point I had no running water so no toilet or shower facilities.

I rang around a few hotels locally to me (near Alcester) that were supposed to be manned 24/7 with no luck (it was 3am) until the lovely Kate at Billesley Manor took my call.

I explained that I didn’t need a bed, I could come back home but just required a room to shower and use toilet facilities. Kate went into action and along with a colleague secured a disabled shower room for me with towels. On top of that she even refused to accept a payment for its use even though I was willing to pay the room rate.

I gave her and her colleague a tip and hope this review doesn’t land her in trouble with her bosses but if that’s the standard of service then it’s excellent and I assume all other staff are just as helpful and understanding.

Charming staff lovely house and grounds
Pros:

Stayed for 2 nights with my wife in the Shakespeare suit which was a dual aspect 4 poster bed and large bathroom with roll top bath which was quiet and comfortable. We are both nights in the restaurant which has a limited menu with good food. Swimming pool is average but the steam room was nice however we spent most of our time outside in the grounds which are stunning. What made the trip as the absolutely charming staff through the hotel. We will certainly return

Small and not very well sign posted
Pros:

The first issue is the lack of directions after the one in the car park. We were greeted at the spa reception in a friendly manor but were not given any option to book a treatment and could not see a list anywhere. The pool was cold but as it was a hot day was welcoming. Clean and the sauna and steam room ok.

Brilliant Stay at Billesley Manor
Pros:

We had a terrific visit to Billesley. The venue is beautiful. The house and grounds are lovely. Our room was excellent. (No 72). The bed was large and comfortable. It was quiet. The bathroom looked brand new. The air con was a godsend. We enjoyed the lovely indoor pool which was quiet. The food was excellent. The outside area was a lovely place to have a drink and a game of croquet! Staff were really nice. Veronica was one of the staff members who we found lovely and very helpful. We cant wait to return.

Relaxing spa-break in a beautiful old manor house
Pros:

Thoroughly enjoyed our spa package stay at this lovely Marriott property. The spa is ok, with a rather unfriendly receptionist on the day we went; she caused quite a fuss over us asking for robes! The towels provided were also slightly threadbare and stained. The pool is adequate to swim lengths, and the sauna is small, as is the steam room. Maybe if on a spa break, the hotel could provide robes and slippers in the room ready for the spa? However, we both had a really good massage; my therapist, Claire, gave me one of the best massages I've had in a long time. Most of the staff in the hotel are young, enthusiastic and helpful. There were a few items on the menu unavailable for dinner - burrata and olive oil for the bread and olive/balsamic - strange for a kitchen to run out of olive oil? But the option of goat cheese and fig was a good replacement for the burrata, and the beef salad was very tasty. Husband had chicken terrine and a burger. Service was very slow between courses, but we were in no rush, so it didn't matter. Buffet breakfast next morning - after a divine sleep in our lovely room overlooking the fountain - was plentiful.

After breakfast we walked the grounds, including the quaint little 11th-century church and topiary garden - just delightful.

For the price of the package, this was a fabulous stay and for all that was included, very good value!

Disappointed room choice but nice hotel overall
Pros:

We went on a Secret escapes break but was disappointed with the room given, it was along a rabbit warren of corridors and the view from the window was a brick wall and service pipe! We complained then given a room in the adjacent building which was better with huge bathroom and dressing room.

Nicely situated, spa okay, but eat elsewhere.
Pros:

Lovely room, but the hotel is a bit complicated to get around at first, steps here and there. Spa not bad, pool was nice but steam room and sauna a bit small for such a big place. Grounds are lovely to walk in.

Cons:

Lack of bar options like beers and lagers and staff not managing the bar, too busy in restaurant and getting their drinks to accommodate. Food unfortunately was poor. Ate at restaurant x2 and both nights not good food, especially for the price. Undercooked prawns sent back, poor fillet steak, dry, tough and expensive for what it was. Raw vegetables. Breakfast average and no cappuccinos until after 9am. Staff nice when we advised of food issues and gave a partial refund on one occasion but high class hotels should have high class chefs.
