Myself and my partner have stayed in some very nice hotels previously but this tops all of them. We have visited and stayed 3 times in total in less than a year and we have never done that anywhere in the space of 3 months.
The staff:
From the moment we got there we was greeted by very well presented and polite staff, car driven to the front of the hotel and shown to the reception to check in. From there our bags were taken to our room and checked in with zero fuss or hassle. The process has been the same on the 3 occasions we have stayed here. Very easy and stress free.
The rooms:
We have stayed in The Knole room twice and another directly underneath The Knole. The rooms are amazing, everything works, feels solid and the design is very modern (see photos). The best thing about the rooms has to be the size and furniture they have put in there. We had a very large bed could easily sleep 3 adults, a round glass table that could easily seat 4 people for dinner, coffee table and large swivel chair and a fantastic bathroom. Its practically a high end London apartment in one room without a kitchen. They have a coffee machine, sweets and savory nibbles and the mini bar which is all complementary so no surprises when you check out i.e £3.50 for a bottle of water.
They also have very good heating and air con which is super easy to use unlike most places we have stayed. Also the rooms are very well sound proofed so you will not here cars going past or people next door or down the hall.
Bathroom:
Large shower, large bath (would fit 2 people comfortably), 2 sinks, all the essentials like shampoo, conditioner, cotton buds etc, super clean and modern (see photos)
Connectivity:
Bluetooth john lewis sound dock if you want to play your own music or listen to the radio and a good range of channels on the T.V. Most importantly for people who travel Wi-Fi was excellent, I was getting 20mb internet speed from a hotel which I have never got anywhere thats public and it never dropped and had 3 bars of signal everywhere I went.
Food:
They have 2 restaurants on site, 1 is smart casual, the other is smart or dress only. We didn't visit any as we always get room service when staying in hotels. Most importantly everything that was hot arrived piping hot (thumbs up) nothing worse than ordering food that turns up warm or cold. Anyway, the food selection was brilliant, cooked very well and best of all you can order from both on site restaurants. We had lunch, dinner and breakfast here and we are very fussy so for us to say 10/10 we was clearly very happy with everything. The portions are generous.
As for the spa we didn't end up going over to that bit purely because we just enjoying a relaxing environment in peace and quiet.
In terms of the place itself the grounds are kept to a very high standard, the staff are brilliant, the food is great and the rooms are brilliant. If you want a stress free experience in a very nice hotel then look no further. Definitely worth the price and an absolute steal if they come up on Groupon.
