Conveniently positioned hotel
Pros:

The location was perfect. Within easy reach of the town and far enough out to be quiet.
Food in the restaurant was good and dinner was not outrageously priced.
The room was comfortable, well equipped and a good size.

Cons:

The hotel carpark is a pay to stay carpark. I would have expected a hotel of this size to be free.
Breakfast was expensive at £24 per head so we ate out instead.
A small element of the staff appeared a bit disinterested, however the majority were good.
Finding the spa was tricky as signposting and directions were sketchy. There is not much in the spa although we made use of the pool and steam rooms.

Very enjoyable
Cons:

Rubbish parking system, why can't the parking be paid for when you settle your bill?

UK hotels have to stop using carpets in rooms
Pros:

Great location and very friendly staff

Cons:

The first room we got was so small we decided to move to another hotel if not a bigger room was available. Our complaint was taken seriously and we got a bigger room.

Lovely weekend away in Stratford - always stay at Alveston Manor
Pros:

Location and facilities are great. staff are friendly and helpful. Main hotel is lovely and oldie. Bar area is great with a good selection of drinks. Swimming pool is excellent, always quiet with plenty of space to swim.

Cons:

Did get an email offering upgrades on the Sunday before travel as it we were there for our anniversary I opted for 2 different upgrade options, appreciate it's not guaranteed but was disappointed when we checked in and found the upgrades weren't available.

Disappointing
Pros:

Imposing building. Exceptionally spacious bedroom and bathroom. Closer to the RSC than I was expecting.

Cons:

With one exception, staff could have been friendlier and more informative. No shower cubicle despite the spacious bathroom being large enough to accomodate one. Bedroom floor had a distinct slope in the direction of the bathroom. No phone in the bedroom to call reception. Expected better at the price but nothing special.

Excellent experience, we would recommend this hotel highly to anyone.
Pros:

The hotel was ideally situated very near to the town centre, only a short 10 min walk to the RSC which is one of the reasons we went to Stratford upon Avon. The hotel looks magnificent on arrival, has a stately house look about it, something you’d see in Cheshire, would be ideal for a wedding reception etc. The rooms were very spacious and clean, adequate facilities, such as a fridge and safe in the standard King size room. Spa and pool are an excellent feature and we enjoyed using them to start our days off. Didn’t use the restaurant but the bar was comfortable and inviting.

Cons:

Can’t really think of anything
