Very pleasant stay. Lovely venue
Pros:

Property is stunning

Cons:

Spa is only open in the morning and evening. That should be advertised clearer. I paid for the booking inc breakfast but that doesn’t cover the full cost of breakfast. Also breakfast menu was limited.

Disappointing - lack of management, lack of style
Pros:

The location is fantastic, the gardens, the house and pretty easy to get to.

Cons:

Very badly managed, there are lots of young keen staff who I can't fault except they are not trained or managed. Arriving at reception I was met by staff who didn't really know what they were doing, as more people arrived some had to wait over 30 minutes just to check-in. The rooms are OK, more travel lodge than luxury, expect to hear your neighbours and they'll also hear you. I was given a room in the mews. We then had an event dinner which from the staff side was chaotic, some people didn't get their food, people had to chase and then received the wrong food as they'd given their order to someone else. Food wasn't hot, luke warm at best. Constantly chasing staff, no one was overseeing. It was a very poor effort and a shame for somewhere which could be very good. I would suggest management visit a successful and luxury hotel and spa to learn how to provide a good service.

Beautiful place slightly let down by a lack of attention to detail.
Pros:

The architecture is beautiful, the views lovely.

Cons:

The service was not great, there were lots of small issues with attention to detail in the room - a leaky tap, a rucked rug, a rusty radiator

Disappointing
Pros:

Its history, location, views,

Cons:

It wasn’t kept up to date ie decorated in last ten years, tv that worked properly, electrical from the same era rather than at least three different updates including round pins. Terrible bathroom and awful water pressure which meant toilet took ages to re fill and affected shower - hand held over the bath which was the first we’ve encountered

Disappointing for a dual 10th and 50th wedding anniversary.
Pros:

Great location .

Cons:

Mews cottages very tired , carpets stained and loose, poor paintwork, mould in bathroom. Knob missing on stained furniture. Checkin staff booked us into wroung restaurant for breakfast at 10:15 . When we arrived we were told breakfast had finished.
Gardenia staff got the meal choice wrong twice despite being required to pre order for only 8 people . No apology. Bill was wrong on both champagne and wine. One restaurant server rude.
For a Champneys hotel overall poor.

Séjour dans un lieu exceptionnel
Pros:

Nous n'étions pas venu à Eastwell Manor depuis plusieurs années et hésitions à revenir à la lecture des mauvaises critiques émises par certains clients. Certes, l'hôtel a perdu une partie de son charme (quelques éléments de décoration et musique inadaptée) depuis les travaux d'il y a quelques années. Cependant, nous ne regrettons absolument pas d'être revenus car la magie des lieux opère toujours. Loger dans le château reste une expérience exceptionnelle. Nous avons bénéficié d'une chambre sur l'arrière avec une vue magnifique sur la campagne. Cette chambre était immense, tout comme la salle de bains équipée à la fois d'une baignoire et d'une douche. La qualité de la literie et la propreté étaient également au rendez-vous. Le petit déjeuner est servi dans la grande salle à manger du château. Nous avons eu la chance d'être placés à côté de la fenêtre avec la vue sur le parc.
L'accueil a été excellent tant lors de l'arrivée à l'hôtel qu'au petit déjeuner avec un personnel très aimable.
Nous reviendrons certainement.

Cons:

Des détails mais qui ont leur importance:
La musique d'ambiance devrait être plus adaptée et plus en sourdine et si possible supprimée sur la terrasse extérieure. On vient à Eastwell pour une certaine quiétude.
Les cloisons mobiles de la salle à manger du château sont assez inesthétiques.
La piscine est moins accueillante avec les immenses matelas placés tout autour. Leur retrait serait bienvenu.

Very disappointing
Pros:

Breakfast was OK

Cons:

When we arrived we were taken to our room and in the corridor outside our room there was a terrible smell of damp and in our room the maid had sprayed a freshener to try to reduce the smell of damp. We were then offered a tiny room instead which we had to take as if I had slept in the room that we had booked I would have suffered from Asthma and been unwell.
