The family dinner on the Sunday evening was lively with good service. However, my room was fine but there was a persistent bumping noise (?from heating,)coming from the roof space which really disturbed my sleep. I did report this in the morning.
Breakfast was over priced, £17 for a poor selection of continental breakfast plus being charged extra for coffee.

A lovely country house hotel. Our room was very spacious with an outside patio where we enjoyed a complimentary glass of wine. The bathroom was large with a bath and a shower. We ate in the “Tasting Room” and very much enjoyed the tasting menu. The area outside the hotel has pleasant area with tables and chairs which we enjoyed as it was a warm sunny day. The hotel is quite expensive, but we thought it worth the money. The spa was OK, small and a little tired but we enjoyed our swim in the pool.

The temperature in the room was very hot and the ac was not blowing cold air only hot. When staff were notified they did nothing to rectify or communicate further in anyway. On checkout they didn’t even ask how my stay was, and when I politely reported the issue I was merely thanked for letting them know. This is far from a 5 star hotel.

Beautiful hotel, let down by customer service

Unfortunately I was faced with several communication issues throughout my stay.
Prior to reserving, I called reception to validate my spa entrance time however once booked I was told I could not have that time slot despite the Spa being empty.
The bed was quite uncomfortable due to it being two single beds being pushed together.
Lastly, I don't think the service at breakfast was up to standard, I was not told that I had all breakfast options including the A La Carte menu until AFTER I had eaten which was a shame.

The service and people are 5*, friendly, helpful, knowledgable- can’t fault them at all. The property however is not 5*, it’s quite old fashioned, the luxury spa is, luxury if it was 1990. The loungers in the pool area were uncomfortable, and the facilities were very basic. The bathroom in our room had a shower over the bath and the bath was so tall at the sides I needed assistance to step in and out. I am not very tall, but this was an issue for me. The breakfast was tasty but the arrangement of options for continental and adding a hot dish and hot drinks is slightly odd, but overall, overpriced. The restaurant in the evening was very good, as was the wine selection, and again the service there was outstanding. Mixed review, so excellent elements, some improvements needed for full 5* experience.

Beautiful hotel in general, although the decor in the rooms is looking slightly dated. The main reason for scoring 4 stars is the poor quality and overpriced breakfast. Our full English was dry, lacked taste and was expensive at £25 each. Also no beans or hashbrowns availiable, not sure what that's all about.

Overall a very comfortable stay and we'll be back.

Nice bread but dirty rooms and tired interiors

The hotel was constructing some sort of external kitchen which wasn't that great to look at. Our room was dirty, with what appeared to be new food stains across the cushions of the sofa. Both dressing gowns had red stains on the sleeves. The bath itself was covered in hair. Milk in the fridge was already a day old. Cant sleep with the windows open due to the noise from the motorway. When we raised the issue of our dirty room with the reception staff they didn't seem bothered and just asked us to pay our bill. The pool is tired looking and not what you expect for a 5* hotel. Overall disappointing and will not be returning.

Customer-facing service could have been better

The staff were all very friendly but when it came to a fault on their part, I don’t think they handled it in the most professional and satisfying way. The Spa facilities were not up to our expectations since the main component, the Jacuzzi, wasn’t working on the day. It was a disappointment for us and all we received were tiny samples which are meant to be free samples anyway- we don’t feel we were compensated well enough, until we had to go out of our way to ask for something at the reception. Even then, we didn’t feel we were spoken to politely by the reception manager.

Disappointed

The service was very good and friendly. The spa was modern and pleasant design, well regulated for COVID with satisfactory access. The treatments were excellent. However we felt there were lots of smaller items which together did not make our stay a 5 star experience. E.g. there was a hole in my bathrobe, the room was cold, the restaurant was cold, one small packet of biscuits in the room. The food was good but small portions and over-priced. Breakfast included was continental and not particularly imaginative. The restaurant tables were somewhat marked with water marks etc and in need of refurbishment. For us the Vineyard did not live up to the hype on the website and compared less favourably to some 4 star hotels where we have stayed

Little touches like 2 gin & tonics left in his room with a \"happy birthday\" note, plus a note at the dinner table where a delightful personal touch, and made the weekend even more special. Also, my daughter's allergies were catered to so well, we are quite amazed at the hotel's attention to detail. Will definitely return as we didn't get a chance to use the Spa facilities.

Breakfast in a box in your room was most odd, limited choice on the continental breakfast with cold croissants. Cooked was very expensive. No gardens of any size with most of it covered by a marquee which spoilt the outlook.

The location was great and we had a peaceful stay and enjoyed the food and wine. What can be improved is the condition of the rooms and attention to detail by the staff. Our room was spacious but the amenities are dated, carpet had marks on them from previous spillage which aren't cleaned, the bathroom looked dark and had poor ventilation. Our room wasn't sound proof at all. The cleaning staff left dirty sheets in the corridor - it just felt disorganised. The Spa also felt dated. Would be great if they can refurbish the hotel throughout to restore its glory. Overall a bit disppointing and below the standard we were expecting given it's a Relais Chateaux resort. Would definitely recommend the restaurant and wine however.
