The Stanwick Hotel

Had cod loin for lunch absolutely delicious just perfect the service was exceptional and the atmosphere was brilliant worth a visit and you must try their tapas evening.the outdoor area has been re developed and is a great place to relax and enjoy the sun. A must visit

You honestly can’t fault this place. The service is amazing but the food is next level. We live locally but the steak and stay offer every Friday is too good to miss. The hotel is massively understated. Personally I think they should change the name to Stanwick House. It’s way more than just a hotel. The restaurant is amazing, the rooms are beautiful but it’s more than that…. It’s the personal touch… it’s the way they go above and beyond every time…. It’s the relaxed atmosphere but for us it’s the fact the gardens and grounds are immaculate. When we got here today it was brilliant watching families properly enjoying themselves, some playing football at the back and laughing as a family, others enjoying the new outside bar and seating area. We’ve been lucky enough to be here before when they had a function on in their stunning function room but regardless of that they were organised enough to make sure that everyone got served quickly and efficiently. It’s stunning here. I love being able to give really positive and honest reviews like this.

We had a private celebration of a wedding with the bride and groom and the parents of both at the Stanwick Hotel on the 11th June. We had booked a table the week before and left table decorations which they put out on the day. We all though the food was very well cooked and presented - all of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals! For all the food, drinks and coffees the bill was just under £300.00. Given the all round quality and level of service, I thought was very reasonable. All the staff were very attentive and efficient - thank you.

There are, perhaps, a few positive things to say about the Stanwick Hotel but these a far exceeded by negatives. Taking a Mock Tudor Theme for some of the rooms is at best unintentional irony. Given that most Tudor rooms would have been dingy, airless, charmless and lacking a comfortable bed the Hotel is to be congratulated on achieving such a degree of authenticity, at least with the room we spent a reluctant night in. True we could have had some fresh air but only by opening the French windows which led to a patch of, sadly neglected, vegetation which had public access. Equally the copy writer for the dinner menus is to be applauded for making the food sound interesting and appetising, an illusion only dispelled when the very average reality is put before you. The fact that the restaurant was full and included several large parties meant service was painfully slow, a problem that could no doubt be solved with better attention to kitchen and waiting staff ratios. Finally the Breakfast. Described on the Hotel’s web-site in hyperbolic terms as “spoiling you for choice” we only found off hand, unprofessional service and a dearth of fresh fruit. Perhaps those breakfasting early do enjoy all the promised choices, whereas, based on our experience, those arriving after 9.30 should brace themselves for disappointment. Croissants were nice though. The Hotel promises “a blend of luxury, warmth and unmatched hospitality” all laudable aspirations but, again based on our experience it only managed to achieve the last of these …but not in a good way.

I chose the Stanwick Hotel following on from an evening reception that we attended a couple of years ago as it is to me the perfect venue. We had our Wedding Ceremony here in April, Wow everything was just perfect, from the very start meeting Marie her organisational skills are amazing, she helped guide and support us with recommendations for our Wedding, Beautiful Bridal & Bridesmaid Bouquet's were supplied by Cat Minney they were amazing. When it came to the day again Marie & Lottie were so supportive, nothing was to much trouble, Myself and my bridesmaids had use of the cottage to get ready in the morning, we then had our ceremony in the Garden Suite followed by photos in the beautiful gardens, Our Meal was then held in the Garden Suite which again was delicious, We ended the evening by moving over to the Function Room with the sounds of Big Bopper Disco, before ending up in the beautiful Honeymoon Suite. Thank you so much to you all at The Stanwick Hotel for giving us the most perfect Day & Massive Thank you to Marie x

A lovely setting, easy to find and a good parking area. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Although the room was standard it was clean, had good toiletries and the bed was very comfy. The WiFi was ok. Dinner was a good choice, fresh and tasty. Even on a Thursday night it was busy but that didn’t affect the service which was prompt and attentive. I noticed there were some good, special, mid-week dining offers. Breakfast was also very good. Would recommend.
