The Roundthorn made our wedding day on Sat 9th March better than perfect. From the bar and kitchen staff to the waiting on staff, to Anouska our brilliant wedding co-ordinator and the reception team the attention to detail, friendliness and helpfulness, the quality/presentation of the food, the room décor – and even the fancy toilet paper – all was commented on by our guests as out of this world. Our 130 guests unanimously said that this wedding was the best that they have ever been to. There are very few venues and teams like this place.

We have recently been to a event at the roundthorn hotel and everything was fab, you couldn’t fault them. the food was amazing and the staff were so friendly, we will definitely be going back ☺️ Food was very quick to be served considering there was a lot of hungry people waiting for their food. I would highly recommend this place 😋

A party of 11 of is decided to book for the New Year’s Eve Banquet and we were not disappointed whatsoever. Warm welcome from the staff on arrival and very well looked after at our table. Food was excellent and a lot of effort put in to decorating room and tables - beautiful. The DJ provided great music and was very entertaining. Fireworks just after midnight was a lovely touch. A huge huge thank you to all staff at the Roundthorn for a wonderful New Year’s Eve. A lot of planning and organisation had obviously gone in to this event. Thanks so much. See you at Burns Supper in January 😃

We stayed in the accessible cottage over Christmas and the place was absolutely perfect other than dogs are not allowed. It has been renovated to a high specification and was warm and comfortable. It was a peaceful break and we will definitely back. We knew that the hotel was closed over Christmas but looking forward to trying out the restaurant the next time we return.

We have just had a delicious afternoon tea in front of a real fire in this beautiful country house. Lovely choice of savoury and sweet treats with a festive theme, all served by friendly and helpful staff. We would thoroughly recommend Roundthorn

My room was delightful. I had to climb up several flights of stairs, which got narrower as I went up them, then once through the door I had to go down a few more stairs. The room was large with a couple of very comfy chairs and a table. The bed was the most comfortable one I’ve slept in for a long time. The bathroom was fine, if a little dated, but I couldn’t reach high enough to lower the shower head or change the direction of the water flow, so consequently it missed me altogether! My evening meal was lovely, though the dining room was full and I had to eat in the bar area. Breakfast was excellent and I would fully recommend the Eggs Benedict. Every single one of the staff I encountered was charming and made me feel very welcome.
