A hotel I like and revisit regularly whilst local for business but on my last visit they took the breakfast to order items off the availability list... leaving a reduced range of buffet items. I was told this was because they needed to cater for a large group. This is a shame as it sends a message that the group bookings are more important than your average guest and discourages return visits.

The superior room was not at all like the pictures and instead it was a frankly unpleasant windowless room in the roof of the building. The standard room was nicer and if I had known what the superior room was like I absolutely would not have booked it. The building and grounds and the property are lovely and the restaurant and food was great. The staff in the restaurant seemed disorganised at both dinner and breakfast which was surprising and slightly spoiled the experience - it was difficult for example to get a cup of coffee at breakfast without chasing someone.

The hotel was lovely. We had a comfortable stay.
The only disappointment was that we were told we couldn’t dine in the refectory as it was closed only to later find out another family had dined in there.
We could order from the refectory menu in the bar but this was not part of the experience we hoped for and were to be charged the same price.
It was just disappointing as it was my partners birthday.
Otherwise we loved the hotel

Just a short overnight, room only stay. The hotel has retained the original features of the building and have improved them. The staff were very helpful and friendly both on check in and in the bar later.

The room was clean with a comfortable bed and was very quiet.

We enjoyed our stay, its an amazing place! The room was well presented, clean and well maintained. Enjoyed climbing the bell tower and taking in the views form the top. Food was good but maybe not great value.

The outside areas could do with the glasses etc. clearing a bit more regularly. There was plenty of spare tables and chairs but all dirty. Can't say there was a shortage of bar staff they just weren't very effective. Delivering drinks and then returning to the bar with an empty tray?

Reception team seemed really friendly, we wasn’t kept waiting to be booked in and was told if we needed anything just ask, we were handed an information sheet telling us all about the hotel and past history. The room was clean and tidy there was facilities for making tea and coffee, an ironing board and iron. Unfortunately didn’t get much sleep as the bed was very hard. Had a meal in the bar, disappointed on the pizza, very flat and floppy with not much taste, lots of grease left on the plate. Lots of choice on breakfast but found the hot food a bit bland.

There is no doubt the grounds and historic parts of the hotel are beautiful but was expecting a higher quality of service and food / drinks . The waiting staff in bar and restaurant whilst lovely and friendly just not experienced or customer focused. .We dined in the restaurant and food was v mediocre . We had ordered a bottle of white wine to have during dinner and it eventually arrived after we had finished dessert despite asking for it . When it did arrive it was warm and no ice bucket again e had to chase and ask for ice twice . Breakfast similar experience junior waiting staff who don't really understand quality service. We had to wait for tea and then just got one cup poured and didn't get any opportunity for more or a pot .Service charge for dinner was added which we thought was cheeky bearing in mind the lack of service. They need a more senior front of house or restaurant manager . The new modern extension on lilac / purple is so outdated and seating not that comfortable. this area could be made much nicer needs a refurb.

We love to go to Stanbrook Abbey for a meal. However, we would not return for Christmas Day lunch as it was not good value for money nor would we stop again in an accessible room as it was not suitable for someone in a wheelchair. The staff are very friendly and the amenities are very clean. The food is wonderful and the quality is excellent. We did however have a problem at breakfast when The order placed was not received correctly. However, this was put right by the staff. We will definitely return for a meal but would not recommend the accessible rooms to anyone, which is a shame as it’s the only thing that lets the hotel down.

Could be so much more…

Stanbrook Abbey is a beautiful building, steeped in history, however the bedrooms are tired, not as clean as they should be and lack certain touches, so it does not feel like a high end establishment. I have found this in all ‘hand-picked’ hotels I have stayed in - lovely public areas but very lacking in bedrooms and they need attention to make them feel as special as the buildings they occupy.

Unbearably hot room

Welcome, cleanliness and food were all superb. Service in the bar can only be described as odd, with passive-aggressive reactions to questions from ourselves and other guests. A young team who were more interested in each other than their Guests.
The biggest issue though was the temperature of the room which was like being in a sauna. The hotel had installed a wall fan, but this didn't make much difference and was very noisy. We had our dog with us, so assumed they had no other dog-friendly rooms available.

Excellent hotel let down by the food.

Stayed here to visit RHS Malvern and decided this would be a nice treat.
The property is amazing and all the staff that we met were excellent.
We booked dinner in the Refectory restaurant for the two nights as it was an AA rosette recommendation.
However the dining experience was not what we expected.
Although the food presentation, quantity and quantity were fine our meals on both nights were far from hot and some of the vegetables were almost cold. Not wishing to wait for replacements we ate them and mentioned this to the waitress who promised to pass the feedback to the chef.
Expecting breakfast to be prepared fresh in a hotel of this quality we were disappointed to find a rather tired looking buffet which looked and tasted as if it had been sat since the start of service. The toast and croissants however were very good.
Sadly not the treat that we had hoped for.

Stunning Location, Room lets it down for the price

The Abbey is stunning, the staff couldn’t have been nicer. The room called the Refectory was lovely. The Bar really lets the place down, it looks like an early 90’s conference area, completely out of keeping with the rest of the hotel. The room we had was disappointing, it was a Superior with Feature. It said it had living space, but it was a separate room with a bed in it and nothing else. The main room had way to much furniture in it, which left only the space round the bed. It was silly things that let it down, the dressing table was full of the tea and coffee. The chest of drawers had a nice mirror on it but it was too low to stand at and too high and no place for a chair to sit it. Then there was a table with small fridge on it taking up more space. You could hardly get the chair out at the dressing table as it had the bag stand behind it, but it you pushed that back you couldn’t get round the bed. The tv on the wall was squinty and fragile so we didn’t want to start to move it. The bed was really comfortable. It had a lovely large bathroom, but the shower should have been bigger. Overall for the £380 a night we paid it didn’t live up to that price.

Fabulous stay

I cannot fault this hotel or the service we were given. It was exceptional. The hotel didn't appear to be too busy the evening that we stayed and we had a room upgrade.

Lovely hotel, service could be better

The only thing that stopped us from giving 5 stars was the service in the restaurant for dinner. We had to ask on more than one occasion for our bread and wine, we had to wait 40 mins for our coffee. The waiters and waitresses were very nice but were overwhelmed by the number of diners.
When we checked out the service charge had already been removed from our bill.

The hotel is stunning. The staff are wonderful and the whole hotel is a little bit of luxury. The breakfast was lovely with lots of choice and it is also freshly prepared. We loved how quiet it was- there was a NYE event the evening we stayed, but you couldn’t hear a thing from our room which was exactly what we wanted. We can’t wait to stay again and would love to visit again in the summer and next NYE!

A1 place to stay

Upon arrival we were greeted by a lovely member of staff who took us straight to the reception and got us checked in and then took us straight to our room which they had given us a free upgrade which was out of this world about half hour later reception rang up the room to ensure that everything was good with the room we also booked for dinner which was out of this world I cannot recommend the hotel enough We will definitely be returning great work and excellent customer service

The original building is beautiful, but the bar area (recent extension) is less so.

The staff are warm and friendly; the restaurant staff were particularly good.

The room is a little meh for the money - a poster referring to a bath when there isn't one, irritated, and the lack of a Nespresso machine surprised.

Bell Tower with views.

Avery nice location and a very nice old building with lots to see. The old Abbey has many features, the main hall for example with its architecture, a bell tower you can climb with panoramic views from the top.

The bedroom was smaller than expected while the bathroom was bigger than needed, possibly due to load-bearing walls and the way it could be divided. Still, more space in the bedroom would have been nice.

A Wonderful Hotel!

We loved the hotel, its location, its unique character and its super-friendly staff and management. Our room was spacious, clean, conveniently set out and very comfortable. The underfloor heating ensured a perfect temperature at all times. The bathroom was spacious and had everything we needed. The shower enclosure was a perfect size and the shower was easy to adjust and control. The breakfast menu offered a good range of choices. The full English breakfast was exceedingly generous and beautifully cooked. The dining room was very spacious, comfortable with a beautiful ambience.

We were however, a little disappointed with the dinner menu. I very much enjoyed the steak noisettes which were tender and succulent, but my wife found the lamb challenging and well below the standard we were expecting. Many of the items on the dinner menu were a little unusual; not in itself a problem, but some more tempting items for main course other than steaks would have been welcome. I tried the stone bass and was not impressed - no comparison with good sea bass in my opinion. The sweet menu was good and my wife enjoyed trying the items. Beverages alcoholic and non-alcoholic were well up to standard. We enjoyed a very nice Shiraz - ( \"Journeys End\" ) - from Stellenbosch with our dinner.

No review would be complete without mentioning the Hotel's history as an Abbey with resident nuns not too many years ago! The Abbey's buildings are there for all residents to see. So why not take a look!

booked table in restaurant ahead of visit - was informed not available upon arrival. had to eat in george’s bar which is decorated like a cheesy butlins bar from the 1980’s (no offence to butlins). menu choices limited. staff all great but were overwhelmed.

room was way too hot, no aircon but instead a noisy wall fan. hot water was hotter than volcanic lava - caution sign was added above the tap, but why not actually reduce the temp so it can be used without filling the sink?

A dressing gown was provided and had the last guests dirty tissue in the pocket- which was a lovely surprise when i put my hand in there :-/ …and after i had stopped gagging i had to re-scold my hand under the hot tap again.

grounds and old part of the hotel are beautiful. shame about george’s bar which is so out of keeping with the building.

all staff were trying hard and really helpful.

Breathe in.

We paid £230 per night in January for what was a disappointingly small room. Listed as a Classic Double at 5 x 4 metres plus bathroom, I dread to think how small the Classic Double (small) rooms were!

Amazing and beautifully-restored venue, with plenty of interest and (on request) the possibility of climbing the bell tower for even more tremendous views!
Great that they've installed a commercial EV charging point, too.
Excellent and very friendly staff, with a lovely breakfast.
Certainly worth every penny!

Stunning building, pleasant stay

Stunning location in converted abbey, beautiful hotel building, especially restaurant and bar, set in nice grounds. Quiet countryside spot a few miles from Worcester. My room was fairly standard, mostly matched online description although no coffee-maker (kettle only). Decent shower room but getting housekeeping didn’t replace mini toiletries. Breakfast mostly good although disorganised when partial buffet set-up. Dinner/bar food disappointing except desserts.

Stanbrook Hotel, excellent service

Excellent service at the hotel. My wife had stated a dietary requirement on booking and we were delighted that this followed through into both the supplies in the room and to the restaurant staff. Few hotels seem to manage this.
Beautiful building, friendly people, well equipped room and excellent location. Had a very relaxing short break.

An experience not to be missed!

Stanbrook Abbey is a unique experience which was well worth the money. Our room was very tastefully decorated with a large shower in the bathroom. Breakfast was excellent with a great variety of options. Really appreciated the home made bread, jam and yoghurt. Gluten free selection was very good. Service excellent.

We enjoyed the snooker room and games room and discovered a really interesting library. A very interesting and beautiful place to wander around.

We had a meal in the bar which was lovely. Only slight criticism is that the tables in the bar area are quite small and don't really lend themselves to the space needed for a meal.

Wonderful Gluten Free Provision

A beautiful hotel, fantastic cocktails, lovely room, even better bathroom but what really stood out was the service. They made a courtesy phone call a few days before during which they asked if there were any dietary requirements. I am coeliac so therefore gluten free. Upon check in I found that the complementary biscuits in my room were gluten free. For dinner the gluten free options and adjustments were explained and my meal was absolutely delicious. The biggest surprise was breakfast where I was able to select homemade gluten free muesli which was the best I have ever tasted, gluten free toast was provided and I even took a gluten free scone away with me for lunch! The best bit however was availing myself of the first Eggs Benedict that I have been able to eat since my diagnosis, and it was absolutely amazing. The service from staff was impeccable throughout; a truly special hotel with a unique history that I look forward to exploring next time I visit. This will most definitely be a regular haunt.

The friendliest staff in a stunning hotel.

Exceptional, beautiful hotel in a former Abbey in a charming rural location, so full of character and history. Look for the carved mice by Robert moussey Thomson. The staff were excellent, I really must praise them for their friendliness and being so helpful in every way. Even with a very large wedding at the weekend they coped admirably. Rooms were beautiful and a high standard of cleanliness throughout. We will definitely be back.

Visited the hotel for a wedding. Ate in the restaurant on Saturday night & found it very impressive (hotel restaurants can be a little iffy with a captive audience) but food was fast & fresh + great service. The room was a smaller comfort room but bathroom was high spec and with the warmer weather the air con was much better then a larger room. Fast check out at the end, nice bar by reception. Certainly recommend & beautiful well maintained location.
