Whitley Hall Hotel

This place was everything it was cracked up to be and better. I had planned to stay there alongside my girlfriend as part of a birthday surprise, explained this to the staff and was met with very helpful energy. The dinner they set up for her was absolutely fantastic and made her feel special. Room service was equally great, any questions we had were answered and even when something was not possible, it was handled tactfully. I was raised up the road from Whitley Hall (up in Grenoside) and had taken this place for granted so now I can't recommend it enough to anybody who is looking for a elegant place to stay.

Impressive hotel in beautiful surroundings
Liked the fact that you had to have a fob to access the rooms on the corridor

Mooi hotel en een leuke Engelse sfeer. De bar is heel gezellig. De kamers zijn prima, de bedden lagen wat minder vonden wij.

Charming hotel, very professionally managed

Beautiful setting. Loved the little touch of the port in bedroom. Very comfy bed.

We booked a one night stay after returning from our honeymoon as a stop over before meeting our family the next day.

Booked a reasonable price at around £80 which was ideal and with onsite parking. Checked the reviews beforehand and rates highly. In hindsight, many of the reviews for the restaurant.

Check in was smooth, no issues. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with the cleanliness of the room. Quite a lot of hair in bathroom and bedding which was really off putting and cobwebs in the bathroom and around the pictures frames. Just left us feeling the room hadn’t really been given a deep clean. We actually avoided using the shower. I should have gone back to reception and mentioned however we were exhausted from travelling and just crashed out. We did sleep well which was a positive.

We weren’t asked how our stay was on leaving which was disappointing as this is how I wanted to address our issue.

Regardless, it was cheap but you do expect the room to be clean. Not on our return list.

Lovely food location ideal for travelling on M1 friendly staff and nice gardens

great first impression. sweeping driveway presents a lovely looking house. Also quick and friendly check in
Room itself slightly dated with old furniture although good size. large modern TV but only showing a few channels. No AC, which perhaps isnt surprising given the age of the house. But apart from a fan the only option for ventilation is to open the french doors, which I wasnt comfortable leaving open overnight or when in shower.
No fridge or water in room
food for dinner and breakfast very good. Breakfast selection fairly slim, but hand cooked full english was great
Main plus is the location, down a country lane, means a very peaceful nights sleep. Didnt even hear anyone from adjoining rooms

Had lunch with friends to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The food and service were excellent. A place of timeless elegance.

Recently stayed at Whitley Hall for a second time, both business trips (this time treating myself to a Junior Suite). What a fantastic hotel and restaurant and what wonderful staff making it a place I’m highly likely to visit again in the near future (might treat my wife next time !!). Can't recommend enough.

Don’t go if there’s a wedding on (they do 2 weddings at a time and one is bad enough) The rooms used for other guests are above the drive and it never stops, expect - all night - under your window, staff on break/ very loud wedding guests/deliveries/taxis it’s 24/7 so expect no sleep.
Badly behaved guests are expected to be dealt with by the bride and groom - even though the hotel T&C’s say rapid response security or police will be called and the wedding party will pay . Other guests have to sign their check-in form which says bad behaviour will result in you being asked to leave - doesn’t seem to apply to wedding guests - Very bad incident with one guest obviously totally out of control - still shouting and screaming into the small hours. Threatening another guest- when we raised with the manager nothing done - the following day we spoke to a different manager and we were offered an upgrade if we went again - insulted - we won’t be going again! We expected to hear the guest had been removed. If the bride and groom are expected to pay for security or police perhaps they should reimburse us for our ruined stay!! Shame because the serving staff were very helpful and welcoming. Food was good.

Lovely well kept rooms and grounds,

Mattress bed was terrible

Lovely hotel and stay apart from loud music in reception from 6.30 below our room, despite asking reception to turn down or off, request ignored. Disappointing end to lovely stay

Had lunch with friends couldn't fault the meal really well presented, lovely setting & friendly staff gave excellent service

I have now been to Whitley Hall 3 times and every time it’s been excellent from the food where there is a fabulous selection and expertly cooked to the friendly staff who time your meals to perfection, no waiting and no rushing. My brother in law and sister who love to go there when they visit, and have eaten in some of the best restaurants in the world, absolutely love the atmosphere and hospitality plus the food there will go nowhere else. Well done Whitley Hall.
