Terrible service
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Toilet didnt flush, tv didnt work, spa facilities were closed,not indicated when booking. Staff forgot to book taxi for crematorium for funeral we were attending despite assurance that it was all done so we missed the funeral. Have emailed complaint but no respinse so terrible customer service. Had to pay £30 for early check- in to change for funeral despite room being ready, and told we could change in the toilets ! And then we missed the funeral because they didnt book taxi. Would never stay there again and would not trust booking.com again for reccomendations

Pros:

the breakfast was great and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. was pleasantly surprised by the grandeur of the place but it looked a bit faded

Cons:

didn't really feel like the room was 'Executive' enough and wasn't given any wifi instructions either in the room or on check in. The shower was basic

A charming three days with super friendly and ever so helpful staff in a lovely English hotel.
Pros:

Excellent location in beautiful grounds - an oasis in a busy area. Super friendly staff who went out of their way to make us happy and satisfied. Great breakfast menu and freshly prepared. Although parts are a little stayed we appreciated that the owners are reasonably new and are gradually rennovating this lovely listed building. We were visiting for a family funeral and the wake was hosted in the same hotel. Aware of this the staff were really understanding and supportive and the food and drink were perfect. It's what English hotels used to be and what so many others these days fail to deliver. We'd highly recommend Botleigh Grange.

Cons:

As I've said, parts of the hotel are a little dated but they are being rennovated. The lounge and bars though are excellent and extremely comfortable. The only thing I would say is that the hotel was largely empty for our midweek stay and we had booked single rooms with single beds - there were no doubles for single occupancy available on Booking.com - and we could have easily been upgraded to doubles. But that was only a very minor thing and overall we were all very happy.

Pros:

The location & staff. The location suited our needs & the staff made our stay most enjoyable even though it was just for one night.

Cons:

Lack of air conditioning, appreciate it's an old building otherwise the hotel was fine & the spa/swimming pool was out of action during our stay.

very comfortable and relaxing
Pros:

I loved the quirkiness of the hotel, I loved the fact that as a group we wanted to leave at 8 so we asked for the breakfast at 07:30 the chef agreed to this request, the food was good.

Cons:

The room was nice but the shower was an older generation and would not stay in position on its loose holder (room 24)

Poor customer service and an avoidable overnight disturbance significantly affected my stay
Pros:

The hotel is in a convenient location and the staff who dealt with the issue in person were polite and apologetic. After I returned later in the day, I was moved to a different room which was an improvement on the original accommodation.

Cons:

I was woken at approximately 1:30am by excessive noise from guests using the terrace below my room and was unable to get back to sleep. Despite making numerous calls and leaving voicemail messages, I was unable to contact reception for assistance. The handling of the issue afterwards was also disappointing, as I received no confirmation regarding my booking changes and had to repeatedly chase for updates, including making an additional trip back to the hotel.

Kind staff. Incredible bed! Lovely!
Pros:

Gorgeous. Well looked after.

Cons:

Night porter at first wasn’t happy to help me. Upon arrival he was different due to having a conversation. They had a wedding at the venue at the time of booking and was very stressed.
