Exceptional value staff very helpful
Pros:

We had the pleasure of staying here , my mum is 85 and we needed somewhere between Yorkshire and Brighton to meet family friends while she visited a friend in Northampton
We had a wheelchair with us and the staff couldn't do enough to help, so much so we wanted to share names Cam , Noa , Helen, Charlie thank you !
One of our group flew in very early on a flight from South Africa and they even got her room ready early
The staff , cleanliness and the food was superb

Great weekend away destination and fantastic staff

Went away for a weekend with my partner and we really enjoyed our stay. Although some parts of the hotel are dated, the hotel is fantastic value for money. All the hotel staff that we met were very friendly with a special mention to the restaurant and bar staff who were exceptional.

Disapointing stay
Pros:

Disappointing stay that did not match expectations

We stayed at Sedgebrook Hall last weekend, and unfortunately our experience did not live up to the expectations created by the hotel’s website and presentation.

We specifically chose Sedgebrook Hall because it was promoted as a historic, estate-style property. However, the room we were allocated felt very basic and generic — comparable to a budget chain hotel rather than a characterful country house. This was a real disappointment given the image and positioning of the hotel.

Our sleep was also significantly disturbed. During the night, there was considerable noise from other guests, and the walls did not seem to provide sufficient sound insulation. In addition, the bed was extremely soft and unstable, sagging noticeably in the middle and causing us to roll towards each other, which made it very uncomfortable and disrupted our rest.

Another key reason for choosing this hotel was the availability of electric vehicle charging. Unfortunately, upon arrival we were informed that charging was not possible, which caused additional inconvenience and was not communicated clearly in advance.

Overall, the stay did not align with what Sedgebrook Hall promises online. While the setting has potential, our actual experience fell short in several important areas. We are therefore leaving an honest review to reflect this experience for future guests.

Birthday disappointment
Pros:

We booked what we were told were rooms in the main house only to arrive and be given directions to what looked like student accommodation no where near the main house. The room !! Where do I start tiny wardrobe which kept getting stuck stains on the floor and curtains and the bathroom yuk see the photos black and orange mould everywhere and to top it off kept awake by what sounded like rats gnawing and scratching in the wall and ceiling room 251 totally ruined birthday . We felt pushed out and not welcome as there was Xmas parties going on

Pretty quiet very British styled hotel
Pros:

The hotel is quiet in a very lonely place so it’s best for reflections and solemn family time. There were loads of organisations having Christmas parties.
The jacuzzi wasn’t working but we only knew that after booking. The sauna is in a little corner and wasn’t mentions anywhere in the description. Found it 30 minutes to checkout and wasn’t so happy as the sauna and the hut tub was my priority.
Breakfast was pretty British. Overall not so bad.

A bit of a mixed bag.
Pros:

Hit and miss this place I think. We were at a Christmas dinner dance and stayed overnight in the modern part of the hotel. The hotel was extremely busy with I think 4 different parties in 4 different rooms. The food was fine, but being so crammed in made the service a bit challenging. Made our exit at about 11 pm and although the room was nice, it was very noisy. Probably to be expected during the Christmas period and perhaps we are just a bit boring!

Very disappointed
Pros:

We stayed for one night to attend an Armed Forces Veterans Ladies Night. It was a long walk from the car park to the reception and then a very long walk along corridors and two lots of stairs and then up another flight of stairs to our room

Room was ok but there was mould in the bathroom and I had to do a treasure hunt to find the tea and coffee tray ( it’s in the wardrobe). There were only two normal tea bags and four milks, one of which was empty. The fan in the bathroom was either a silent one or not working as the mirror was steamed up almost immediately. I did ring down re both of these issues but only the former was rectified ( but still only had 4 teabags….) There were also no biscuits and no glasses

Meal was average - one slice of turkey compared to three or four pieces of chicken - but the service was excellent. On leaving the dining room, I went to get a glass of water from the coffee station ( a nice touch), and there we encountered two groups of people from the two Xmas parties booked at the same time as us fighting in the smoking area. This continued up onto the second floor where our room was and where a young woman was punched in the face. The staff tried their best to separate the two factions but it was an uncontrollable level of violence which eventually needed police assistance. It’s not what you expect from what is marketed as a country hotel

When we finally got to bed, the bed itself was really comfortable but our sleep was disturbed by the sound of what seemed to be a heating unit emanating from garage like building to the rear of the our room of which the receptionist in the morning had no knowledge of. So we paid the same amount of money for a room as the
people opposite who had amazing views over the Northamptonshire countryside and without the noise

If this had been a Premier Inn, we would have been offered our money back immediately on complaining to reception - we were just told that they were sorry. It’s a shame as it’s a lovely looking hotel but you don’t get to stay in the house, you just get conference type bedrooms. We won’t be staying there again

Great stay
Pros:

Driving up was impressed by the grounds. Reception staff very friendly even showing us a quick way to our room.
Room was spacious and bed was nice but did not like the pillows but still slept. Breakfast amazing and great selection and buffet style. Used the pool which was fine and not to cold. Did not eat dinner here as prefer to go out but great value for money and would recommend staying here for a weekend. X mass parties made it and noise was not a problem .

Terrible
Pros:

Food and staff were kinda friendly. Ask for boxing on as no one was watching the tv’s. even told member of staff no one was watching the tv’s. Got told “NO” even though both of us saw no1 watching. Asked why, it’s been requested that the rugby should be on. Don’t know how as there was no1 looking at any tv!! Food was a 4/10. Room has mold in the bathroom. Not even got half way through the night and writing this. Very disappointed.

Girlie catch up
Pros:

Have just had a nights stay with friends ,for
dinner , bed and breakfast at sedgebrook hall.
It was fantastic value for money, rooms were clean, and the beds so comfortable. Nice linen and large bath towels.

The food was amazing especially as included in our deal and the buffet style breakfast had a great selection from fruit, cereals to full English.
We found the staff very friendly and helpful especially Ian who when we asked for recommendations of places to see nearby was very knowledgeable. Reception, bar and waiting staff were also very dedicated and took pride in their work and looking after visitors.

All in all had a great experience and would recommend 🤗

Great stay
Pros:

We had a great stay for a motorcycle group reunion. Helen and her team were extremely efficient in looking after our dinner table of 21 people. The food was very good and well presented.
The breakfast buffet was very nice with a good selection of food.
The free tea and coffee at a couple of different areas throughout the hotel was a nice touch.
A nice little pool with a sauna and a jacuzzi (in our opinion the jacuzzi could have been hotter!)
The hotel is in lovely surroundings, has feee WiFi and plenty of parking.
We would recommend and will stay again.

Good and not so good.
Pros:

Good and not so good.
Good. Friendly staff, reasonable prices for a big hotel, rooms on a par with an older Premier Inn, free pool and spa whilst staying, free tea and coffee at several locations throughout, Wi-Fi, ample parking, nice setting, good breakfast with lots of choices, ample seating for groups.
Not so good.
Not good for the less abled as hundreds of stairs. The general appearance is that of an open prison or college campus as rooms are in modern(ish) blocks leading off the old building. If arriving with luggage check in first as the walk from car to reception is 100m and up steps, and then the return walk back the way you came to your room is a bind. Shame the standard beds are just a double not bigger. The bar is cashless which is a pain. Only bottled ale. Evening meal was a bit hit and miss. Mine was good (the pork) mates was the worst steak ever to go on a plate. Even the cow would have been embarrassed.
On the whole the good out ways the bad but could be improved although the staff were excellent.
