The surrounding nature was great
Pros:

Natural environment location

Cons:

Stayed as a family of four, but only left with a two-person tea cup set and a limited selection. Felt that the staff were not very friendly or helpful during the visit. If this improves, it would be a good place. Hopefully, it will get better in the future if I visit again.

Fantastic hotel and grounds stepped in a deeply rich history through many generations
Pros:

Absolutely lovely hotel and grounds in a tranquil setting - perfect for weddings and other celebratory events. The hotel is stepped in history and is well maintained. The staff were very friendly especially at breakfast. The 5KM walk around the estate was very peaceful and the 32 acres of grounds are perfectly kept offering a chance to truly absorb the history of the estate. The bar had a nice selection of cocktails in addition to general drinks and a bar food menu with good quality burgers among other items.

Cons:

Nothing to complain about, although as there are no lifts, accessibility could be an issue for some.

History and hospitality
Pros:

A really lovely few days, the Elvetham is ideally located close to London for a weekend break. The grounds are beautiful and there is a huge sense of history to the place. We particularly enjoyed the 5k walk and playing croquet on the grounds. The room was comfortable too, with a lovely view of the grounds and nice toiletries included in the bathroom. Breakfast and dinner at the restaurant was good quality - and the staff in general (and particularly in the restaurant) couldn’t do enough to help us.

Cons:

The bathroom was showing a few signs of wear and the plumbing could be looked at/improved.
