Room was not what you’d expect from a hotel of this quality. One of the two bottles of water in the room was opened and almost empty so wasn’t replaced after the last occupants. There was also some long hairs in the shower maybe 5 or 6 in a clump should have taken photos but I didn’t.
Bar food menu is very limited maybe 6 items on the main menu. No daily specials either which a lot of other hotels do.
On a positive note plenty of choice at breakfast but note doesn’t start until 8am before this they provide some items to take away from the reception area

Setting was beautiful. Rooms were clean and well supplied. Would be helpful to have a small fridge in room and an ice machine in each area. Room service was great at delivering ice but they are very busy. Front desk staff were friendly. Staff in hallways could be more friendly and upbeat by simply saying hello, have a good day or any acknowledgment as you passed them.
Spa was fine but jets were not working when we were there. Outdoor pool area was beautiful. Overall spa area was underwhelming.
Golf course was lovely and reasonable price. Excellent rental clubs!

We did enjoy our stay at this hotel. Breakfast was delicious. We had two evening meals during our stay. One was in steak restaurant which was superb. definitely five star the other was in. The Maxwell grill which I did not enjoy. The pool area in this hotel is very relaxing plenty of room to lounge and spa area is amazing. You also have really nice grounds if you want to walk we did have a couple of issues which the management put right for us immediately When we made them aware of our issues which made us feel our stay of our important to them because of that I would definitelygo back..

Room was clean, plenty of space and very modern. Shower pressure was very low, temperature good.
At check-in, the staff couldn’t answer the most basic questions around eating areas and timings.
Ate in lobby, dirty tables and food remaining on floor. Service quite slow and some food had to be returned however manager sorted this out. We were aware that others complained about the food.
Breakfast wasn’t great, slow service for tea/coffee and had to wait a while for staff to restock eggs, mushrooms, sausages. The breakfast room wasn’t full at this stage. Within the spa there was no hot water for tea/coffee. Pool water could have been warmer, overall spa area was tired. Surprised there were no hot tubs.

It feels like the hotel has slipped past its best days. Most of the staff were very young, the sort of first job atmosphere you notice straight away. There were a few experienced people trying to steady things, but it was clear they need more investment in training and a few more seasoned hands, especially at the bar. The cocktail list is long, and the team behind it were clearly overworked and not confident enough to handle the pace or the volume.

If you are on a golf trip, you will probably be fine. For couples looking for a more polished experience, it misses the mark.

The part that really took the shine off our stay was the spa. We emailed ahead to ask if our booking included any treatments and they replied that it did. We later learned this was their mistake, which they admitted, yet they still tried to charge us. What made it worse was the language used by the spa manager, saying things like “both sides to blame” and “I would pay it if it were me” even after acknowledging the error. It felt manipulative and unfair.

The spa itself was lovely, which makes it all the more disappointing. The way the situation was handled ended up overshadowing what should have been a relaxing stay.

Waiting about 30 mins to get serviced a drink, if you go up to the drink you're totally ignored. Many people at other tables had the same experience. Restaurant staff and Bar staff very slow, Service was a little chaotic.Rooms are very spacious and comfortable. Food was nice with very tasty Desserts.

Have been here several times now and always find the hotel and facilities to be excellent. This time we were staying in an accessible room and I found the bed to be very firm. Pillows also firm. Uncomfortable two nights sleep. Pillows would need to be renewed and a nice pillow - top mattress topper would would be ideal. For an accessible room, comfort is a priority. There also needs to be a low towel rail fitted in the bathroom. Will not put me off going back to the property as everything else is excellent. Would recommend for a quiet break away.

cons first- For the price you pay for somewhere as beautiful as Farnham you expect upkeep to be better. The spa looks a little run down. Big scrapes on the wall. Bare nails and hooks. It was also really cold. We weren’t the only couple with this complaint. Everyone was lying with dressing gowns and towels wrapped around them. The cedar restaurant was also too cold. I don’t like the heat at all but when you’re wearing a full coat for dinner maybe it’s time to turn the heating on. We spent nearly €200 on dinner and left asap to go warm up.

Now the pros- the staff are so lovely. Breakfast is delicious. Actually all of our food was yummy. Despite it being cold the cedar restaurants food was ridiculously good. That steak was unreal.
Everywhere was lovely and clean. You know when the toilets are nice and clean you have nothing to worry about.
We booked a massage and it was really relaxing. The gardens are just a treat.
The amenities in the room was really great. Bed was so comfortable. The girls who cleaned the rooms done a great job. They worked so hard and were lovely.

Lovely stay

Lovely one night trip, used the spa which was quite busy but we were still able to spend a few hours there. Particularly loved the amethyst salt bath, I could have sat in there for hours. Had a casual meal in the bar which was really nice, and the service was great. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast really nice as well, lots of options and again lovely service. One slight gripe was that the bedroom was very warm and didn’t have air con, I believe they are introducing this to the hotel bit by bit, but with the recent heatwave weather the room felt pretty warm.

Great location but a mixed experience

We had a mixed time at the Farnham . Room was great . Hotel was lovely . Staff were mostly great . Food was fantastic . But Spa was very busy on both days . Also on the afternoon it was difficult to get table for food / coffee . We were left for over an hour on second day as waitress twice forgot to put our drinks order through and other people around us were getting served so much quicker and also the waitress totally forgot to put our food order through having to ask twice but after one hour and minutes we had to tell the person to cancel our order as order hadn’t been put through this was very disappointing as we were not eating again until later that evening and had to arrange to have dinner a lot earlier than we wanted too because of the afternoon incident . Would like to visit again on maybe a quieter time ..

Farnham 50th birthday stay

Entered building and reception are was full with wedding guests taking photos , we had to battle are way through to get to desk. A few simple bollards with rope to separate the area would help. Found the hotel to be a little dated and dirty, especially seating in the cellar bar and Cedars. Meal in Cedars was such a disappointment, young staff who didn’t have a clue. The manager seemed more interested in hurrying everyone up so they could close the tills. Didn’t come to top up wines, refill water. A young male waiter delivered our main course and basically flung it on table. Food was not worth the money and I’m pretty sure my Turbot was not fresh and was over cooked , I overheard waiters talking and one said they haven’t had their starters yet which made me think our mains were made too early and left sitting. The steak at 48 euro was definitely not worth it and to be served with a plate of tobacco onions that you could buy in a shop and make yourself was just not high end. Not once were we asked was everything ok or did we need anything else. When the waitress came with the bill and card machine she finally asked and we said well actually not really. I don’t like complaining but we were both so annoyed with the meal and the cost of it expected great things. She signalled to the male manager who came over and asked what was wrong I started to explain and he said ok let me see what I can do. Two mins later he came back and said he took wine off bill. Didn’t seem interested.
