Not recommended
Pros:

The stuff is polite and trying to help

Cons:

Terribly hot inside. Unbearable to sleep in the rooms pr stay inside. No air conditioning-nowhere. Too old. To much needed to be repaired. The elevators were out of order. Two of them. In the morning there is nobody on reception desk. There is an impression of badly managed hotel

Good drinks, wouldn’t return.
Pros:

The property is beautiful, and has stunning scenery and views. The location is good. There is a variety of seating and dining areas, all with wonderful decoration. The food is nice, but nothing special.

Cons:

The service is appallingly slow, and the staff aren’t particularly eager to help. Several times we were left waiting almost an hour for a drinks order, and the food almost twice as long. The Utopia Spa is very basic, especially considering the money you pay at a place like this. There is only one outdoor hot tub which is over crowded, and then a couple very small saunas/steam rooms. The outdoor private hot tub area is also very disappointing - it is like sitting in someone’s back garden with a minuscule hot tub that could barely fit myself and my partner comfortably. Considering we spent a ridiculously large sum of money at this place not only on the rooms, but on food, drinks, and spa and treatments the service we received was atrociously underwhelming. The saving grace was the cocktails and other drinks were incredibly strong so at least we felt merry amidst the disappointment.

Pros:

Amazing facilities. The only problem was as soon as we got out of the room on the top floor the heat hit us. Very hot and stuffy up there although they did provide us with a fan.

extremely underwhelming, angry with way hotel treats hotel guests for a simple dinner on a birthday!
Pros:

staff

Cons:

- I let the hotel know that it was my wife;s birthday in my booking, nothing special was done for her
- We could not even enjoy dinner as no table was made available for us (no time at all for just 2 people who paid £625.00 for just a room for one night). We stayed in our room, no dinner - unforgiveable.
- We came for the spa and in particular HOT TUB. ONE HOT WAS OUT OF ORDER - THE OTHER HAD DAY GUESTS IN THERE FOR THE WHOLE 2 HOURS WE WERE THERE MEANING WE NEVER EVEN GOT INTO A HOT TUB.
- In the sauna i burnt the back of my head of the wall where the wood had broken off (men's changing room sauna).

I felt humiliated and still never got a refund for the three rooms that I paid for and were refused on arrival
Pros:

The actual spa was lovely but my overall experience was horrible as they refused to honour the price that we had paid for our rooms, I’d booked 3 rooms and we were refused them all on arrival and asked to pay a further £200 each for all three rooms.

Cons:

I had to sit and negotiate a price for one rooms even though we had booked and paid in full for three rooms x

We left disappointed.
Pros:

Staff were very responsive.
Location, building and grounds all very nice.

Cons:

Upon check-in, we were asked whether our visit was for a special occasion, to which we explained that it was our anniversary. We were then informed that the restaurant was already fully booked for the evening, leaving us with the options of ordering from the room service menu or visiting a local pub instead. This was a disappointing start to what was meant to be a celebratory stay.
We had booked one of the attic rooms at £290 per night. The room was small with low ceiling height. The concierge service is accessed primarily via tablet/app. The Wi-Fi signal in this room was extremely poor, making the system frustrating to use. Wi-Fi connectivity for phones and laptops was equally unreliable.
The room service offering was disappointing, particularly considering the restaurant was unavailable to us. The menu was limited, heavily overpriced and quality of food was average.
The spa facilities were the biggest disappointment of all.
The indoor hot tub was cold, and the pool itself felt unheated. The sauna and steam room facilities are separated into the men’s and women’s changing areas, meaning couples cannot enjoy these together.
In the men’s area specifically, the steam room was barely warm and had a noticeably musty odour, making it an unpleasant experience. The sauna also failed to reach an enjoyable temperature.
Cleanliness was also an issue. Looking beneath the sauna seating, there was visible grime and build-up that suggested the area had not been properly cleaned for some time.
The outdoor sauna, while visually appealing, was also ineffective due to poor insulation.
Alexander House markets itself as a luxury hotel and spa, but unfortunately this visit did not deliver anything close to the level of quality or experience we expected — especially given the price paid.
