Disliked: Amenities
Very disappointing stay. The room was shabby and the breakfast basic. The room needs updating and electric sockets installing near the bed instead of at the table. This was very inconvenient particularly for mobile phone charging. On the second day of my stay there was a large wedding party which completely took over the hotel and all the public areas inside and out. As a result, there was nowhere to sit so was virtually confined to my room as I was unable to enjoy the hotel’s facilities. Also, some of the wedding party was on the corridor and it was very noisy in the early hours. It should’ve been pointed out to other guests that there would be limited access to public areas on that day. I did mention this as I checked out and the receptionist, though pleasant, said that there was still access to public areas. What she failed to understand was that neither I nor the wedding party wanted to be involved with each other. From now on I will always ask a question if there is a private function at any time during my stay. This was meant to be a very special trip for me, but I was bitterly disappointed. My two constructive emails to McDonald’s have been ignored, which I find rude and a sad indictment of falling standards.

Great hotel extortionate bar prices

Our 4 day experience was excellent the staff in the restaurant,bar and house keeping where all very professional and a credit to the hotel what massively let the hotel down was the prices in the bar 2 double gin and 1 bottle of tonic water £28.00!! Cmon Macdonalds you cannot believe that is fair!! In us you had a captive audience but we went across the road a had the same drinks for literally half the price we would have liked to have spent more time in the hotel but sadly not at those prices

Won’t be staying again

Hotel is very dated and in desperate need of a refurbishment. The bathroom in our room wasn’t the cleanest and in need of some tlc The room was very dated but the bed was huge and very comfortable the safe in the room didn’t work We had breakfast. The food was very average and you had to pay extra for a specialist coffee of £4 The spa facilities were also open to the general public so was extremely busy.

Two day stay in Alveston Manor Hotel

The head server in the breakfast restaurant was extremely rude and needs training on how to deal with guests. Making people feel like a criminal in front of the other guests is very low class!!!

Lovely building. Very short walk to the town itself. Nice grounds. Food was nice. We had breakfasts there. The room was a nice size, clean and spacious. Let downs were no air conditioning i was told i was supposed to request this? I thought all rooms had air con. So be mindful of this in your bookings. Asked to change rooms though they were fully booked. Room was stifling. There was just a fan in the room. It seemed several had these. Iron did not work properly. Reported that the same evening. Was told it would be looked at. Never was. Useless never bothered using it after that as i spent more time blow drying the dress with a hair dryer as the iron just piddled water everywhere. Elemis products very nice but nothing located near the bath and you had to keep standing up to fill a glass of bath and shower gel to use. The head of the restaurant could do with putting a smile on. We were greeted by herself and the young waiting on team. They were beaming from ear to ear and very pleasent. Every time we visited it was "room number please" from this lady. A shame really. A smile goes a long way.

Lovely place, but needs more attention to detail

Very attractive buildings and grounds, but lack of attention to detail rather blunted our enjoyment of the stay. I had rung ahead to request a sheet and blanket raher than a duvet, and someone had called to say this would be arranged. It had not: there was an extra, empty duvet cover on top of the duvet on the bed, The receptionist tried to find me a blanket, but to no avail. There was no fridge in the room, although a cupboard had clearly held one in the past. We had the afternoon tea, which was good, but took 35 minutes to arrive after the booked time. It was in the bar, not in the restaurant as we had been told, and the heroic and excellent single barman had to go repeatedly to the kitchen to see where it was. We paid fro breakfast on the first morning, but were not told that the full menu would not be available as it was a weekend.

Quiet with very good onsite facilities, close to Stratford centre and easy vehicle access with plentiful parking. Comfortable spacious room, breakfast options fine, if a little pricey. Main area for improvement is check in. It was slow and understaffed at times.
