Pros:

It was a beutiful room, well laid out and good proportions.

Cons:

No room service available. There were people in the adjacent room that that were extremely noisy. the room was also unbearably hot (due to the extreme weather conditions at the time) Could do with airconditioning.

Perfect escape, will definitely come back for another stay
Pros:

The buildings were incredible, and the fountain. Can see why this place is popular with weddings. Very nicely furnished, the room was spacious. Felt very peaceful being in the country. Staff friendly and helpful. Great they had a really nice size indoor pool, especially as the weather was so hot over bank holiday . My husband really enjoyed the pizza at the bar, he wished he’d ordered a whole one to himself.

Cons:

Breakfast was basic, there wasn’t any avocados and no honey

Wonderful caring and efficient staff, lovely comfortable cool room and beautiful grounds.
Pros:

Set in well maintained parkland with comfortable rooms and excellent staff who could not have been more helpful. Very good choice of food at the buffet breakfast.

Cons:

My husband has limited walking ability, so found the distance from the room to the main facilities testing. It would have been helpful to book directly with the hotel. But the tel.no on the website did not work. There appears to be no disabled parking space near the main entrance to The Towers.

Beautiful on a cool day
Pros:

De Vere is a beautiful and picturesque setting. My wife woke up to horses in a field in front of our room so she was very happy. Breakfast was excellent but slow. The hotel is the location. We weren't going anywhere but could've spent the day in the grounds.

Cons:

No air con on one of the hottest days didn't help but although it was hot, it was not stifling. Hot food prep shortages meant my wife and I eating our food at separate times. I even took food without eggs and sausages and returned for them because of the wait.

Lovely hotel but a few basics were missing
Pros:

The staff was very very friendly and helpful. Braekfast was very good however the continental part could have had more choice as well as the limited types of bread.

Cons:

There was no toilet brush and no fridge/ mini bar in the room. We were also told that our room will have a bath which was not the case when we arrived.

Wonderful weekend
Pros:

The accommodation was clean, comfortable and beautiful surroundings.
The staff were 1st class friendly, polite and helpful. And the breakfast was one of the best ive ever had in a hotel. Excellent around. Would highly recommend.

Cons:

My only regret was i booked to stay in the old building, the towers. But no lift and we was on second floor, i did know this before hand but we picked the hottest weekend so far this year and it was tiring keep climbing stairs. They offered to change our room, but was booked up. And all the amenities were in the new building. All of it was beautiful if you want to be near pool, bar, restaurant definitely the newer building. If you want luxury old and peaceful the towers.

All in all, the outside was fantastic, the inside needs a lot of updating
Pros:

The location with the castle and park was very impressive.
Easy check in, brasserie atmosphere and food was good
Size if the room was reasonable, bed was comfortable

Cons:

We had a double room. Everything was highly outdated. Worn carpet, bathroom taps and sink looked very old. 2 separate taps so no mixing of searing hot water and cold water.
The handle of the toiletflush was jammed against the wall so it took really some effort to get it to flush.
