De Vere Latimer Estate

Lovely property but the rooms in the wings are too small for 2 guests, tiny bed, would be perfect for single person. Wish we’d booked a larger room in the main house. Also, shampoo was provided but not conditioner. That’s the kind of cost cutting decision only a man would make!

Lovely friendly staff. A beautiful old historic building, but the bedrooms are in the new building. A quiet pool and small steam/sauna rooms - very welcome at the beginning and end of the day. Well maintained and very clean.

Some gym items broken…rowing machine and lack of free weights

A1 stay

Friendly staff, stay was seamlessly from start to finish. room adequate, although bathroom ,toilet too close to sleeping area which gave a musty smell in the room. Rooms very warm they do supply a standing fan though. Ok stay, grounds are lovely

Stayed two nights for a wedding at this venue. Absolutely tremendous service throughout and premium quality food

Nice venue. Great location.

Unfortunately my allocated room was right above the conference part of the hotel so it got very noisy from around 8am.

The breakfast was fantastic, lots of choice.

Some of the staff were a bit grumpy but other than that no real issues.

Really disappointing experience, when we arrived the venue was beautiful and really well decorated though nowhere on the booking did it imply that we were actually going to stay at a “motel conference” space located outside the hotel which was about 15minutes walk away (when I booked the hotel due to a back injury and to use the pool to help my recovery). We had to walk this far to a very basic room located on the outskirts of the estate. The corridors stank. There was no staff anywhere to help in the premise we stayed in. During our stay there was no toilet paper available at one point, and several rooms key cards stopped working so we were locked outside our room and had to walk back to main reception to fix. The restaurant was very overpriced for very basic flavourless meals. Restaurant was understaffed, lacked proper support or training. Overall really disappointed and felt very mislead with us staying in the hotel not a rundown conference/motel room.

We loved the history of the property and the amenity of the swimming pool was huge bonus for me and my son. We loved walking the grounds of the property and seeing all of the gardening and the trees. A beautiful quiet location with lots to explore. The breakfast was filling and can’t wait to return one day. I feel like this location would benefit from a day spa.

Great all round

We had the pleasure of staying here for a family wedding. Check in was straightforward, friendly and helpful staff as well.
The hotel room was very clean and quiet, the only downside is the creaking floorboards, but the beds were super comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and love the fact that there is a restaurant and bar on the premises with a spacious breakfast area as well.

Beautiful country stay. Only thing I can fault is the place feeling a little understaffed when it’s busy. Everything was running out at breakfast because of a hungry wedding party and big queues at the bar the night before. Quality is on point though.

.

The first day at breakfast I had to clear our table to be able to sit down then all the food had run out including the Cooked breakfast which then we had to wait 10 minutes for any cooked breakfast to be cooked l had to hunt for cutlery couldn’t find a tea pot staff seemed to be running around they didn’t seem to know what was going on our first night at 2am in the morning the room opposite us were banging on the door to get into their room which continued for an hour until a staff member came to let them in. Our room seemed smaller than the one we booked it was compact and I was just not impressed

But as good as it could if been untrained staff long waiting times for food

Place don’t have the AC. Other wise it’s nice place also u can get uber from the hotel to any where.

Lovely stay at De Vere, the grounds are pretty, with a stunning view.
Beds were comfy, the room was clean.
There was plenty of choice for breakfast which we enjoyed.
Would recommend.

We had 2 nights staying for a wedding, the house itself is in a lovely position looking over the Chessvale so a great view, due to the very warm weather the grass outside was parched so Im guessing with a bit of rain it would look lovely, the staff were amazing and friendly, its certainly not cheap for food and drink comparable to central London prices l’d guess, the wedding breakfast was top notch, again staff were amazing. The few downsides is we booked 2 rooms with breakfast and when we arrived we were told breakfast hadn't been requested which it was as we went there and booked it several months beforehand, the rooms we had were right at the front and it was very noisy with shouting and revving motor cycles, it made it worse as there was really hot and no air conditioning so we couldn't close the windows. We also couldn’t keep the sash windows open so had to use a book to wedge it, open, the fridge was warm and only one bedside light worked. The breakfast in the conservatory was excellent with a great choice of continental cold and warm food a range of coffees so all in all catered for all tastes. The main thing that ruined for us is over the 2 nights we stayed the fire alarm went off 3 times in the middle of the night for no particular reason which messed up our much needed sleep, otherwise a great stay.

Although the main house is beautiful, and has character, the accommodation blocks have the feel of a low security prison. Very unwelcoming, poor/non-existent signage of room numbers and the bed is too short for a 6'1" adult.

My stay was comfortable.The internal
movement from the room to restaurant or bar is not very clear.Also the hotel sign is not there on the main road. It would help. Overall the hotel is good.
