Dirty, they need to seriously get a new cleaning contract!
Pros:

It’s dirty, the bed had rips in the sheets plus it looked like it hadn’t been made properly someone obviously sat on it. And the room smelt like old men. the bathroom was disgusting it had water marks everywhere and pee stains up the wall, there was dog poop bags out the front, the seating we had to ask for cushions it was just all a bit of disappointment really I won’t be going back there and oh the pool was green yeah not great.

Cons:

The view and the dear in the garden

Great views, good food and relaxing pool.
Pros:

Breakfast and Dinner was very good. Staff were all mostly friendly and helpful. Pool was very good, few leaves but that was expected due to the trees. All of the nearby deer and the views.

Cons:

The ladder on the pool was loose and a bit dangerous. Ant issue meant we couldn't leave food or drink on the side in the cabin. How the shower door opens into the shower in the cabin.

Beautiful place , but needs refurbishing in areas.
Pros:

Loved the garden suite. Although the balcony was dreadful!! Broken in several places and needs re painting

Cons:

We paid a lot of money for our room and a hot breakfast should be included . The tea and coffee were served from urns and was awful. Couldn’t believe you had to pay extra for specialty coffees ie a cappuccino.

Disappointing and certainly not worth the money we paid for the garden suite.
Pros:

The location was perfect.

Cons:

The hotel was dated and tired looking. We had one of the garden suites and all the wooden terrace was broken and in disrepair. The steps leading down onto the grounds were broken and quite dangerous. The ladders getting into the swimming pool were also broken.

To expensive for
Pros:

Parking was just outside the room as been told, the room as very big and spacious

Cons:

WE have booked for a garden view but instead we had overgrown hedges, and the wooden patio and stairs were all rotten and dangerous to use, room service was not completed on some days and had to chase the housekeepers after 17.00

Pros:

Cons:

More of a events hotel catering for weddings, what have been better to have known there was a wedding on before arriving. Very short staffed so took 25minutes to get a drink, tables were left uncleared in the dining room

Pros:

Pool, front terrace, outdoor seating, breakfast, dog friendly.
The deer warden!

Cons:

We feel hard flooring would be a good idea for the dog friendly rooms. Carpet is possibly not the best option.

Disappointing level of comfort sadly did not make up for good location.
Pros:

Hotel location was ideal and seeing the deer in the adjacent park in the evening was a definite highlight. Hotel food in was also very high quality. Complements to the chef and the staff.
WiFi was great.

Cons:

Room 4 despite being identified as a ‘Classic Superior’ was disappointing. A hotel room really needs only 3 things: a comfy bed, a good shower and a tv that works. Everything else could be considered garnish. Unfortunately, room 4 at the the Burley Manor failed on these 3 essentials.

The bed. To describe it as ‘firm’ is an understatement and it definitely listed to the left. However the highlight was the wave like action created when someone walked down the corridor outside! You are lifted up and then placed down as the guest walked across the floorboards to their room.

The shower: The hotel prides itself on having Green credentials and there were suggestions in the room about how to use less water but the fact that the isolator that switched between the overhead shower head and the handheld one wasn’t working at all meant that water poured out of both at the same time making any other water saving ideas completely redundant.

The TV in the room was a relic from the 1990’s and pre dated smart TVs. Unfortunately the aerial cable didn’t work and it was impossible to get a signal on any channel. As a result we resorted to watching iPlayer on a phone because happily the WiFi was, as advertised, of high quality.

Extras: The room had an iron and ironing board but oddly no hairdryer which again seems to be a standard in most hotels. There was also no ‘do not disturb’ door hanger which despite requesting twice during our 3 night stay, never materialised. The reception staff did however take account of our verbal request not to disturb the room.

We were also travelling with bikes and one of the reasons for booking the Burley Manor was a question response stating that a bike rack was located behind the hotel. We never found one and ended up chaining the bikes to the rear fire escape.

As other reviews have identified, despite being a beautiful building in a lovely location, this hotel feels really tired and needs some money spent on it.

Pros:

Breakfast buffet selection was reasonable and the accommodation was comfortable.

Cons:

Not enough staff. Waited 20 mins to check-in and service was always slow or almost unavailable for both bar and outside restaurant.
The exception is that breakfast was OK, apart from being told that for hot food we could only book for 7.30am or 9.30am, neither if which were suitable - so we opted for the cold buffet instead.
