Always a pleasure to visit
Pros:

Whitley Hall is a fabulous country house hotel and the whole experience cannot be faulted. We went for a Sunday roast meal recently and the staff, the food, the decor, the new outdoor seating area, all were perfect. The atmosphere was very relaxing, and I would highly recommend a visit to anyone who has not had the pleasure of Whitley Hall yet.
We have attended many family occasions in the past at the hotel, and nothing was ever too much trouble. You are always made to feel special by the smart and polite staff.
Definitely a 10 out of 10.

Excellent room and facilities, very tastefully decorated.
The Restaurant has a nice ambience and the Dinner and Breakfast menus have a good variety of choices,last but not least the food is beautifully served and is of a high standard .
We are regular short break holidaymakers and in my opinion Whitley Hall is one of the best Hotels we have stayed in for a long time.

Whitley Hall is the epitome of comfort
Pros:

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.

Cons:

There was honestly nothing about Whitley Hall Hotel that caused issue for us. The staff were very helpful and always went above and beyond with every request.

A lovely setting
Pros:

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

Cons:

A few issues with the room but they were resolved quickly. The bedding feels very thin and in need of replacing

Wedding viewing
Pros:

Attended twice, once for wedding showcase and the second for a 1-1 tour around the venue. We loved the experience Rebecca gave us when we visited for our 1-1 appointment, she answered all of our questions and made sure we weren’t rushed. We have put a date on hold with Whitley Hall for a 2027 wedding and we look forward to working with Rebecca and the team.

Lovely stay with a 4 poster bed
Pros:

This is the second time we’ve stayed here. Just by chance the same room. Lovely room with beautiful 4 poster bed.

Room is clean, nice breakfast, friendly staff and bar.

We stayed during a heat wave and there was a fan provided… but was was very dusty which was a shame.

Prima verblijf in Engels sfeer voor een paar dagen.
Pros:

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

Cons:

Eigenlijk viel er niks echt tegen. Er waren 2 bruiloften op de zaterdag dat wij er waren. Ik vond het knap van het hotel (en de gasten) hoe weinig overlast dat gaf. Het was gewoon heel gezellig.

Unclean room.
Pros:

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.

mixed stay but mostly good
Pros:

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

Relaxing stay after a busy business trip...
Pros:

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!!
Pros:

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.
