Property Description

Historic Charm and Tranquility
Nestled in 11 acres of parkland, Billesley Manor is a 16th century Elizabethan manor house steeped in history. Explore the 11th century church and the exquisite topiary garden, a true gem replicating a chess board from a century ago.

Luxurious Accommodation and Dining
Experience a blend of traditional charm and modern luxury in our bedrooms located in the manor house or cedar barns. Indulge in fine dining at the Stuart Restaurant and Great Hall, boasting oak panelling and original fireplaces for a truly regal experience.

Relaxation and Wellness
Unwind and rejuvenate at our Spa with a range of Decleor treatments, beauty rooms, and fitness facilities. Take a stroll through the grounds where Shakespeare found inspiration for 'As You Like It' and possibly where he married Anne Hathaway at All Saints Church.

Book your stay at Billesley Manor Hotel and immerse yourself in history and luxury.

Awful
Pros:

Vaguely pretty old part of the house ruined by the 1960’’s extension

Cons:

I have a dog so couldn’t stay in any of the main house instead I was in the premier inn separate block above a conference centre with a tiny window. The staff were disinterested from the check in desk to the breakfast team

An extremely pleasant and relaxing 3 night stay, and would return, perhaps with my own glassware!
Pros:

Room was perfect, with lovely views of the gardens.
Atmosphere excellent with very helpful staff.
Outstanding topiary gardens.

Cons:

The breakfast arrangements make it nearly impossible to have both food and coffee hot at the same time.
Extremely limited and basic evening dining menu.
Lack of proper glassware in the bar and dining room. (no liquor or brandy glasses, liquors served in whisky glasses). Wine glasses poor/cheap quality.
Not what I would have expected from a four star hotel.
If you want decent glassware bring your own.

Unloved uninspired
Pros:

Nice property from the outside , remote.

Cons:

Room in new extension overlooking the pipes on the grubby roof of the spa. I used to work in hotels and this would be the live in staff rooms. Not guest accommodation. very far from bar and reception…badly stained carpets in corridors. Heavy slamming doors. Key cards stopped working. Tacky, cheap art and prints all over the place. Soulless restaurant, that is neither good pub food or fine dining. Needs to be one or the other. Small bar, no where near enough room to accommodate all guests. Outside areas look tired. Umbrellas down, no cushions on outside furniture. Have to order in person at the bar if you want something outside. No service/blankets/heaters available. Chainsaw going at 9:15am in the front garden. Rotting tennis court. The staff pleasant. But the whole place needs serious attention. It could be amazing but unfortunately feels like a premier inn hotel in the countryside. Wouldn’t recommend.

Overall a good experience and staff universally top class
Pros:

We had bought a superior double and the room was certainly large and well appointed

Cons:

It would have been better if superior doubles offered a teapot and fresh milk so tea could be best taken in the room given the price

Nice stay in an impressive building but disappointed it wasn’t as special as it could have been made with a little effor
Pros:

Property was historic and very impressive

Cons:

It was my fathers 80th birthday and we notified hotel beforehand but no effort was made at all to recognise this. We also did not receive the rooms that we booked in the barn and were instead put in the main building opposite the spa. The air conditioning in both rooms we booked did not work
