Wotton House Country Estate Hotel

Unfortunately, with the extreme heat, we didn't have the most comfortable stay. I asked at the desk about air conditioning. He did explain that as a listed building this isn't possible which I totally understand.
However, we had booked the very large King room, and 1 fan in the corner of the room really wasn't enough.
It made absolutely no difference to the stuffiness of the room at all.
We managed to move it so that we could both feel it a bit all night but it certainly wasn't a comfortable night.
More fans were desperately needed. The reception even commented saying we had one of the coolest rooms so I dread to think what the others were like.
Apart from that the hotel itself was absolutely stunning.

Uncomfortably hot in rooms with aircon units not fit for purpose

Draft cider unavailable

I think the menu need changing plus sandwich’s should be available intil late

A little bit tired in places. But saying that could not fault Wotton house at all. Definitely would and will go back.

It was too hot and stuffy. The staff wer e not friendly or helpful

Everything

Lack of air conditioning or working fans

Rooms very hot due to excessive heat outside. No aircon in bedrooms but there is some in public rooms. Dyson air cooler insufficient for the job in bedrooms. Aircon unit had tube going out of open window - counterproductive!!
Fiasco with pizzas on Saturday evening: we tried 3 times to get something to eat from the very limited ‘bar menu’ The pizza dough was raw in the middle, the bottom of the base white & barely cooked. Even after a specific conversation with the (Italian) maitre d’ the 3rd pizza was inadequate.
You Order at the bar but confusion with table service outside as ‘tables have lost their numbers’ - can it be that difficult to find a way to renumber tables in an hour or so of preparation time?
Some of the decor and furnishings are lovely but the paint & putty were peeling off window frames in a primary suite. It’s a great building that demands continuing care but doesn’t seem to get it.

Self-service Breakfast standard, middle to poor: bacon batch cooked & dry, limited choice of bread to toast, only 1 of 3 coffee machines working (then the grout container was full), limited cereal & fruit choices, understaffed to clear plates (we did it ourselves)

Hot rooms. I've been to your hotel twice both times ended up on the ground floor but it's still so hot. The fan isn't enough, you need aircon.

It must be boiling when it is heatwave time as it was as just sunny both times.

Tv with Internet and streaming services netfix etc would be amazing

There was little attention to details. Step ladders left out, bag of dog waste laying around. Litter floating around. Tables not cleared. Seemingly understaffed tbh.

Rooms were disgustingly hot with only a single broken pedestal fan in the room to blow around hot air.

Bathroom is tiny, actually difficult to get into the shower/bath.

The beedroom needs updating, the ceiling is stain, window frame needs replacing. Not enough light in the bathroom.

The room was boiling - there was a fan but no way to open the window more than a few inches. We left early as we couldn’t bear the heat. Seemed short staffed, tables not cleared and messy. Menu very limited at the bar with no gluten free options.

There was a huge heat wave happening and lots of weddings the front staff was a bit rude but always did accommodate that’s what matters.
