We stayed here as our first night off as mum and dad so was hoping for a good nights sleep. Was firstly disappointed with the greeting we received. We were not shown to our room just told where to go in this massive house we had never been in before !! The room was dark smelled dusty. Was woken up at 4am by stairs creaking and banging above and around us was so loud It kept us up from 4-8am I ended up going to reception at 8am nearly in tears because I was soo tired ! We spoke to another couple who also said there was a dog barking above them constantly from 9pm onwards the same night (we went for a meal so misses the barking luckily !) The staff were absolutely usless with helping me no manager came to deal with the matter I was just told either Icould have a £50 refund or complain !? Absolutely terrible standards especially running somewhere like this you would think guests would be made to feel like there staying in a 4 star and not a 2 star. Especially the money we paid for the room. Never coming back here and we will be telling our wide knit family and friends community about this place !

SUPER PLACE TO STAY
We stayed in the Ashby Suite which was spacious and beautiful. The only criticism I could make is the sofa bed wasn’t particularly comfortable. All mod cons in the kitchen and a lovely seating area. Bathroom was spacious and modern. Spa facilities were fine and the staff were all friendly and attentive

A little bit warm
My only complaint would be my room was very warm even though it has air-conditioning it can only be turned down to 20. That’s the highest I have the heating on in my house and the thermometer was saying my room was 26° even with the Aircon on.

Continually excellent.
We have stayed many times in Hempstead House Hotel and it always exceeds expectation. This time we were in the original part of the hotel. The room was pristine and the amenities were very good. The surrounding gardens are lovely and although we didn't use the spa on this occasion, it looked beautiful and clean. The staff have always been friendly and helpful and the breakfast was very good. Dinner, which was served with a choice of two restaurants, both formal or more casual, was of an excellent standard. I would always return to this hotel when in the area.
