A fabulous stay celebrating my nephews wedding. We would definitely stay here again.
Pros:

It was such an interesting building, we enjoyed reading into its history. We also loved the grounds which were well maintained.

Cons:

Some of the sash windows in our room in the main house were broken and the bathroom needed updating.
The breakfast was very expensive for what it was.

Top class hotel at a reasonable price. Fabulous location and experience.
Pros:

The main hall is impressive with an important place in English royal history. It has an abundance of quiet corners, lounges and garden spots to relax or read.
The staff were amazing, being professional, attentive and smart. The food was top class, with friendly helpful service.
We stayed for three days and were unexpectedly upgraded from a suite to the Seymour Suite. (Bridal Suite). Huge room, well furnished with an impressive bathroom.
Well done to all at The Elvetham, loved every minute!!

Cons:

No comment needed. Everything was perfect.
