Staff seemed very friendly and helpful
Rooms date, mattress was poor springs popping out and rooms overall poor condition
The hotel is well located, offers good parking facilities and is in a beautiful building with lovely grounds.
We booked the hotel for our family for a peaceful break, however there was a large wedding party at the hotel the night of our stay. If we had been informed of the wedding party we would have not booked the hotel or re-booked into a different hotel. The wedding party played loud music into the late evening, and the wedding guests were very drunk and aggressive, it was not a pleasant stay and experience for our young children. We also arrived at the hotel just as the restaurant was closing and were not able to have an evening meal, so we had to order a takeaway, this was not delivered to our room by the reception staff until 30 mins after it was delivered meaning we had a cold meal along with not being able to sleep due to the wedding event.
Breakfasts were very good
During the hot weather air con eouldhave been nice the tiny fan provided was next to useless
Recently booked on a Friday evening for afternoon tea, hotel were really accommodating and no request was a problem. We asked for plain scones which was all sorted for our arrival. The lady who looked after us was very nice and attentive. The restaurant area has a really nice modern vibe but also quite relaxed. The afternoon tea was lovely, fresh sandwiches, plenty of scones with jam and cream plus an assortment of desserts. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit here. Would recommend and would return!
Beutiful venue, had a fabulaa time, Smantha was very helpful, lovely lady, couldnt do enough for us, vwry friendly lasy, an asset ti blaxkwell grange
Attended a wedding, venue was amazing and staff very attractive, especially Samantha- nothing was too much trouble,
What can I say! The service has been amazing! As usual we were greeted impeccable by Samantha and the team! We love every time we visit
Booked a Groupon refine/reset spa. Laura was very helpful arranging the time and date and also advised that they can match the Groupon offer.
Staff all very welcoming and friendly. Garden spa is fabulous. Gorgeous shaded hot tubs. Facilities are spotless and well maintained. Pool and jacuzzi and a variety of hot tubs. Plenty of seating and loungers outdoors.
The shoulder, neck and back massage that Kaitlin did was absolutely wonderful and better than any massages I've had.
Lovely tranquility room to relax and unwind.
Enjoyed lunch afterwards in the Havelock restaurant. A very fabulous experience and will certainly be back.
Thanks
Yet another visit to Blackwell Grange, never a disappointment; I've started to use the hotel. for coffee and meals, but this time to the Spa, I visited with my daughter, initially with a Groupon voucher; however on this occasion I'd rung to check on availability and was told they price match. so I booked direct.
What it lacks in size it makes up for in service; we had a massage, which was exceptional, and used the facilities, they've extended and opened a spa garden, there were loungers, seating, another sauna, another couple of hot tubs, we had a wonderful afternoon and won't hesitate to return or recommend.
De locatie, omgeving en het personeel is geweldig
De kussens zijn net even te dun, dat is eerlijk gezegd het enige minpunt wat ik kan bedenken
On arrival greeted warmly by reception, checked in , pleasant chat with receptionist . Direction given to a stunning executive room , view of car park . Room was beautifully clean and welcoming , however lots of stains on carpet , needs a clean. Two fans in room which were much appreciated. Nice gesture of bottled water replenished daily.bathroom had lovely soap/body moisturizer to hand , with lovely white towels.bed was very large and comfortable. Curtains could do with a blackout behind . Breakfast was standard nothing special, bar staff very friendly , however when I asked to charge items to the room the receptionist hadn’t opened a tab by asking for card information upon check in, bar staff offered to sort it , I just paid for drinks. Went to reception to discuss it , she said she could sort it easy enough , I suggested maybe this should be done on check in. Overall nice stay
We had a great experience by staying in the Blackwell hotel, it’s not the first time , and always with warm welcomed in reception , nice bar and restaurant staff, we love the room in the Carriage house with unique atmosphere and comfortable bed, plenty different choices of tea and coffee. The gym, sauna with jacuzzi is excellent addition for relaxation and full rest and comfort.
Highly recommend to stay !
Attended a family wedding yesterday 8/8/2026. The experience exceeded our expectations. Special mention for Joshua and Samantha who worked tirelessly and professionally. Nothing was too much trouble to them and they carried out their roles with enthusiasm and good humour. Thanks to Blackwell Grange. A wonderful day
Brilliant service by Amanda.
First time going in to get treatment in the spa facilities and was handled with such care and consideration by both spa staff.
Obviously being a typical male I was a bit dubious to start with, but I was welcomed and settled in and any notions I had went away quickly. I can’t sing the praises of Amanda’s calming presence and politeness enough. She made me feel soo relaxed and that’s what money can’t buy.
Will definitely be booking in again!
Thank you again for the level of service we received, across the board from all hotel staff. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!
Thank you,
Jordan & Holly
Went for a couple of drinks and had a lovely time. Liz and Celeste made us feel very welcome and were very attentive. Would 100% come again!!
It was a good location for our needs
The room was very small and cramped for two adults, very little space to manoeuvre especially when two adults are trying to get sorted for an evening out. The room was extremely hot, yes it was a hot day but the room had 0 air release or intake.
The bathroom did not have an extractor fan and was also very hot prior to 2 ppl having showers which made it unbearable.
