Lovely situation - large room that was clean. However walking in it felt quite down at heel, a bit like a scruffy airport waiting area. We ate in the restaurant on arrival - the food was edible. However, the staff at reception and in the restaurant were welcoming and attentive.

sadly we had to leave early due to an emergency at home so didn't actually get to stay overnight. The food was nice in the bar and staff friendly.
Would have preferred a bathroom door in the room instead of a curtain though.

Unwashed cup in the room and empty shampoo dispencer. Pool closed for this \"spa weakend.\" Hotel unable to provide a cooked breakfast and reluctant to offer a rebate. Premises dirty and staff surly. Bar service poor and prolonged delays in the dining room in spite of pre-ordered food. Far from the expected standard of a 4star establishment

Really noisy room. I was in a dog friendly room and had to walk through the back of the kitchen to get to it which was hot and smelled strongly of food. Some of the bar staff seemed untrained. Food was good but had to eat in the lounge as had the dogs and it felt very awkward as people were watching the TV extremely loudly with also music playing.
Hotel was clean, just a bit tired and bed was very creaky.
I could hear the person upstairs tv until at least 3am the first night then the second it was someone snoring!
Very passive aggressive note left in the room for dog owners, despite paying £20 per dog per night unlike the advertiser £20 per accommodation as advertised on hotels.com
No access to the island with dogs either.
There is a really easy walk down the river from the hotel, which was really convenient!
Didn’t eat breakfast but assuming there would be no self service I would have to stay in the lounge with the dogs.

The property is a little dated, the curtain and carpet was rugged over in the main house. The mattress was hard and didn't feel like a 4 star property.

The steak was also not great for the price.

The stay is a premium rate and good for a one off, but wouldn't rush back unless there is some renovation.

Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Room was great apart from a tea stain on the skirting board. Ridiculous charge of £20 pp to use the pool after 9am and no spa treatments available, so basically we could have stayed anywhere rather than having a “spa break “.

When we checked in we were told we couldn't use the pool or spa until 7am - 9am but when I looked at the info in the room that was when children could use it , we were 2 adults with no kids! plus no idea why we weren't allowed to use the pool the day we checked in. in our room there was a glass of water on the night stand , I dismissed it as just a simple missed item when the room was cleaned. Then the level of noise all night was so bad! no sound proofing at all (we were in the mainland hotel) In the morning I went for a shower and there was no shampoo in the dispenser. I booked this hotel as a Birthday treat for myself and I was so disappointed , I wouldn't have booked if I'd have known we couldn't use the pool and spa. Sadly won't be coming back.

The Area and Venue is lovely… I felt the room (in the main hotel) was dated but just Okay. The WiFi is terrible in any room other than your dining & main reception area. So if you’re wanting to work then this isn’t great. The Breakfast I felt was mediocre. Overpriced for what we got, and not great quality either the bacon, sausage and egg was poor. No black pudding. The setting is lovely but I feel they need to upgrade the place to match its surroundings.
The bar service was real slow although at £12 for a glass of wine and £7.60 a pint probably helped the customer out.

Terrible room

Before going to sleep, there was an evident dip in the bed to one side. When I got into bed, it was two singles together, which I know is common for hotels but these mattresses were polar opposites. One was extremely used & dipped in the middle & the other was rock solid. I asked to change rooms & although rooms were free, none were clean. There’s also a smoke detector wit a flashing LED above the bed which lights up the room when in complete darkness. AVOID room 45 at all costs. Issued my concerns at checkout & over email & nobody is interested, only wishing my return which will absolutely not be happening. Aesthetically the hotel & grounds are fantastic but in reality, they are worn, tired & past their best.

Nice place, but......

The reception staff member was very good and friendly. We were pleased to have accommodation on the island. Very unhappy that guests had to pay for the leisure facilities outside of a 2 hour window of 7am - 9am. Especially as our plan was to relax in the jacuzzi between check in and dinner. I was not prepared to pay £30 for this, despite a long drive to the hotel.

The room we had had good views. No hand soap was supplied. It was in need of painting.

The food at the on-site restaurant was quite good and the pricing of the food was just above pub restaurant prices, although the wine was overpriced and the drinks choice was fairly limited. Clearly the serving staff need more training as one didn't know what they were serving. The lamb was described as \"some kind of steak\" when it was brought to the table.

The following day, we were out all day and returned around 9pm, to find that the room had not been cleaned, towels changed or courtesy tray replenished. We had to cross back off of the island to tell the reception that we lacked certain items and report the issue and were told that they had a note to say housekeeping wasn't done because they were short staffed.
Given that we were out all day until late, the hotel had plenty of opportunity for the staff who were available to carry out the tasks.
Apart from \"sorry\" there was no other recognition that we were inconvenienced.

Overall. Nice place, nice people but further investment in training and decorating required.

Disappointing Experience — Poor Value for Money
I stayed here on a business trip and was very disappointed. The internet didn’t work, which was unacceptable given I was there for work. The bed was poorly made and not clean, one of the power sockets didn’t work, and the TV remote was broken. For the price, the quality was far below expectations. I would not recommend this place, especially for business travelers.

Extra cost for spa facilities.

Excellent rooms. The only downside was the spa facilities was not included in the price except between 7am to 9am it was an extra £20 to £30 per a person at all other time which i thought let down the hotel. I would of not booked it if i knew there was an extra cost.

Bad - Avoid!

Photos misleading, there is a new part of the hotel so didn't stay in the hotel shown on photos. Rooms very basic, food bad, zero breakfast left at 9.45, apart from bread & cereal. Service poor and whole hotel is run by youngsters who moan about having to be there. Tables never cleared so surrounded by used plates and glasses in restaurant and lounge. Not recommended! Very low standards and definitely not 4 star!

Service shocking, no booking for what we wanted an

Sadly got there, greeting was next to nothing, have you got a booking ? With a face that looks like she hated her job.

To then be told they haven’t got our room what’s been booked twice, and booked in for over a month, plus had in email after confirming everything over emails.

Basically was told if I don’t like it we can just leave and go home, 50 minutes to get there and over 1hour home with nothing offered as an apology on the night.

To then be called up by the manager saying sorry which is fair enough but a discount offered if we wanted to use the hotel. A discount after the farce we had to put up with and costs it took to get here.

Was looking for a wedding venue at this place but treated like this can’t see them deserving our booking, sad because it looks a lovely hotel, I might have just been the unlucky person that got this treatment

Read the terms and conditions first

The hotel was dirty and old fashioned. The service was the worst I have had in any hotel while travelling in the uk and Europe. They assumed things that was not true and being a gentleman I corrected them and paid my way. The swimming pool is only free from 7 am till 9am. During breakfast. Then there is a financial cost the the guest for the use off. This was not clear on the website when booking.

Its a stunning location set in beautiful surroundings. Sadly it doesn't include use of the facilities as i had to pay £15 to access them. Wasn't impressed with the charge and apparently that was a special offer price. The room we had was very, very warm and with no air-conditioning sadly it made for quite an uncomfortable night. I will add fans were provided in the cupboard but they just circulated the warm air frustratingly. All in all a gorgeous location but glad i only stayed one night. The spa and outdoor hot tubs are really nice but i don't believe an extra charge for their use is acceptable.

Beautiful grounds, underwhelming interior

Room is spacious but the bathtub is tiny. Very few toiletries and carpets throughout the hotel look dated.
Breakfast room was small and we had to wait a while to be seated which would have been unnecessary if vacated tables were being cleaned promptly.
The grounds outside are beautiful and if you’re looking for a picturesque place for a wedding, this is it.
However, would not return for a romantic weekend away.

Been several times but not since new owners. Everything is now extra, to ask for a specific room £10 extra, I booked this hotel because it has a fabulous pool / hot tub but upon arrival was told this is now £15 per person perday extra… what’s point of booking a hotel with pool/gym and u have to pay to use them. Beautiful location and great food though. So for the sake of £15 I won’t be back.

Walton Hall continues to be a beautiful location for our stay in Wakefield to visit family. Breathtakingly stunning views and a friendly Yorkshire welcome.
However, the choice of menu in Charlies Bar is not as good as prior visits nor was the quality of the food.
During previous visits i was able to have skimmed milk for my drinks but that proved a step too far this time.
Cutting back on wasteful practices is a great idea in this economic climate but please do not compromise on that special attention to detail.

We had a wonderful break. Waterton Hotel is immaculate and set in beautiful grounds. The staff are helpful, friendly and professional. The food was delicious but you need to bear in mind that the service is slow (50 minutes from order to table). I booked this as a Spa weekend but the Spa was closed, so if having treatments is your thing, I would check with the Hotel. It didn’t affect our enjoyment of the weekend, we went for a fantastic walk instead. Totally would recommend.

Disappointing Expense!

Not really sure how it's 4 star. Walton Hall is beautiful on the outside, dated and foisty on the inside.
Room 19 - top of stairs, smells like an old people residential home, door entry troublesome, phone didn't work, bathroom needs totally replacing, furniture old and marked. Windows need sorting, left open by cleaner and came back to a fully infestation.
Food a real let down, the menu is limited with weird choices, chef unwilling to accommodate any requests.
Breakfast choice good, execution by chef poor - burnt toast served under salmon and eggs unacceptable

The only saving grace here is the staff, the are definitely the only asset here.

Could do better.
Stayed 4 nights. At almost £150 p.n. at location not close to main roads, it’s not value for money.
Pluses: lovely large room, good facilities, fabulous surroundings (lake, peaceful, etc). Friendly staff. Food mostly good (but see PS below). Food service competent.
Minuses: these were enough to spoil our stay.
1. First night fish & chips were not crisp, think they forgot the final fry! (tired after v long journey so slow to notice, should have sent back.) Breakfast bacon crisp and delicious one day, dry and fatty another. Other food mostly good (but see PS below).
2. Domestic arr. not good: a) room not serviced on 3rd day, manager apologised and sorted it but we had planned rest, instead were tensed; no compensation offered. b) shower drain filthy. c) public places: decor a bit tired, grubby in places e.g. lobby door entry mat not cleaned throughout stay (same leaves in same places!), swim pool area grubby in places.
3. Items on tea/coffee tray not consistent each day.
4. Breakfast service staffing varied, arbitrarily it seemed - 3,3,5,1 😵‍💫
4. Lift out of action (ok, it happens!), no help with luggage was offered ( we didn’t need it but that’s not the point). Apologies when pointed out.
SUMMARY: nice hotel in fabulous surroundings, but seemed geared for weddings rather than for regular guests. Attention to detail poor. Food mostly good but quality not consistent. Lovely staff but management seemed slack - espec re food. Not servicing our room was a no-no

Disappointing

Our deluxe double room was large and spacious. Unfortunately it was not very clean at all. Cobwebs around the windows and behind the curtains. Both bedside tables had been dusted, but had not been wiped clean as there were sticky rings on them. The four poster bed had a sticky ring on one of the ledges. The bathroom was tired. Not what you would except for £171 a night! The prices in the bar are outrageous, £2.00 for a lime and soda! £9 for a glass of wine. It feels like you are been ripped off because you are a captive audience. No really what you want at a wedding reception.
