Billesley Manor Hotel Reviews

We stayed at Billesley Manors during a weekend break to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We had been asked at the point of booking if it was an occasion. How lovely to find a bottle of champagne, chocolates and a card wishing up a pleasant stay and a happy anniversary. The Hotel is beautiful, set in lovely grounds and welcoming from the moment you step inside. Our room was amazing with views over the garden. We made use of the Spa too which was also very good. On the whole Billesley Manor is definitely a place that I will be recommending and will most certainly be visiting again.

We had a wonderful weekend with a group of 10 friends celebrating a hen do. The Offpeakluxury team was very helpful in coordinating with Billesley Manor, making thoughtful suggestions and following up on any logistical details, which made me confident nothing was missed. The hotel staff were also wonderful and accommodating, helping coordinate the group, which was very much appreciated. Thank you for making this special weekend as hassle free and enjoyable as possible!

Friendly welcome and was advised champagne was in the room but they had to send someone out to get the chocolates which never arrived.  The room was nice but when I used the shower apparently it flooded the room on the lower floor below us so we were asked politely if we would not use it.  But I enjoy a shower first thing in the morning so I was told I could use the shower in the spa which to me wasn't good as it meant getting dressed to go to the spa and undressed to shower and dressed again not good really we should of been offered another room as the hotel wasn't or didn't seem to be overly busy.  Mario the bar man was helpful and pleasant and the club sandwich was very nice.  Dinner was ok but apparently there was no beef Wellington left which I was looking forward to after reading reviews.  Breakfast was ok but all self service buffet I prefer the hot food to be prepared freshly as I am not a fan of buffet food

I rated the hotel as above as 2 things did not work for us. Firstly, the pillows were rock hard. Secondly, we elected to eat in the restaurant on each night, but the menu was the same. A change of main course would have been good! Otherwise all good. The weather was very very cold but we were cosy inside.

With an exterior facade that suggests a spacious comfortable experience, the interior did not deliver. Building additions mean that cramped corridors lead from the entrance area to the few available areas retained for guests. There is no relaxing lounge with deep comfortable chairs that the building suggests on first sight. Rather a small bar with adjacent room with no focal point. Dining room had character but the menu was very limited and never changes apparently. After two nights eating in one has run out of alternative options from the poor menu. The hotel appeared to be run by money men as it was downright cold during our stay with the heating turned right down. Two log fires were lit at 5pm and were out by 9pm!. Very disappointing, not a place that will call you back.

We had a lovely stay at Billesley Manor. The staff were fantastic, really helpful. The room was a really good size in the main building the only thing we could say to improve it would be to update the bathroom suite, it seemed to let the room down a little. We enjoy the older properties with the history and charm rather than all new and modern styles so this really was our sort of break. We did go into Stratford by taxi thought better than driving in and parking. The taxi was only 10 each way so well worth it. We enjoyed the Spa, nice and relaxing wasn t too busy. The food in the restaurant was really lovely. We would definitely stay here again.
