Guests say

Guests have praised The Victorian Wing for its beautiful setting, spacious and regal rooms, and the peaceful atmosphere of the Weston Park estate. The property's unique charm and the thoughtful touches, such as Christmas decorations, have been well-received. While some minor issues with heating and shower temperature were mentioned, the availability of amenities like electric blankets and multiple showers, as well as the helpfulness of staff, contributed to a memorable stay.

Reviews consistently mention the property being clean and well-kept, with one specifically noting it as 'beautiful, clean, regal'. No negative comments about cleanliness were found.

The location is highly praised for its amazing setting within the Weston Park estate, offering access to extensive grounds and walks. Its proximity to local activities also adds to its appeal.

The property is generally considered comfortable, with special mention of electric blankets. However, some guests experienced issues with cold rooms and one shower not providing hot water.

Facilities like a games room and multiple showers are appreciated, but there was a minor issue with one shower's temperature. The on-site restaurant and bar also add value, though limited opening times were noted.

Guests were delighted by thoughtful gestures such as Christmas decorations, but as these are not guaranteed for every stay, they should be considered a bonus rather than an expectation.

    Excellent accommodation and lovely setting.

  • Confirmed Guest

    The accommodation was beautifully laid out and easy to access. We stayed over Christmas and to find a tree put up and Christmas crackers laid out when we arrived after a long an tiring trip was an added bonus.

    A fabulous apartment with beautiful rooms and furniture. Our 88 year old mother felt like Lady of the manor . Having the grounds to ourself after day visitors went home was a treat. We ordered a meal which was left for us to heat upon the first evening was delicious and generous enough to have on another night as well. We also had a meal in the Granary restraunt one evening. Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere We would recommend this holiday to anyone.
