What a fantastic venue! We held our wedding reception at Woodlands Park Hotel in July 2024. The building itself is beautiful, especially the Grand Hall, which guests loved. The team were very attentive and genuinely seemed to care about ensuring that the day was special. Woodlands Park was also transparent throughout with their pricing. They gave us use of multiple function rooms at the hotel, which all came included in the package. There was also a private breakfast room for our guests the day after the wedding - the Team even went to the trouble of decorating this with our flowers, which was a wonderful surprise! We would like to mention Jay in particular, who we felt went above and beyond in helping to make our day a success. We met Jay at the taste-testing evening that the the hotel provides, where he set up the room for us to practice our first dance. Jay also did a wonderful job of helping to set up the wedding breakfast and evening party rooms! They were perfect. Our guests also commented on how much they liked the food and all received excellent table service. We would thoroughly recommend Woodlands Park Hotel!

Honestly, I would take the Prem Inn experience over this one any day. Set in beautiful grounds it looks like it should be a high class experience, but is not. Staff are helpful and friendly and pull it all together covering the cracks in a stay here. Executive rooms are a joke, don’t waste your time or money as there is nothing executive about them. Windows don’t have nets to let light in so you left between a choice of blinds or thick curtains which block out the light and stop you from being able to enjoy the one thing they have going for them, the surrounding scenery. Food would be at best passable if it wasn’t so expensive. A real disappointment. Wifi was constantly intermittent. The rooms are paper thin resulting in a poor night sleep even if people are talking quietly in the corridor as they walk by. Decoration is like something from the 70’s.

My wife and I stayed here for a night after attending a family wedding. As we arrived early the woman on reception let us leave bags there as our room wasn’t ready, this was helpful and appreciated. The staff in the bar and restaurant during the day and at breakfast were all friendly enough and pleasant. Our room was good, nice and clean and a very comfortable bed. Breakfast in the morning was excellent, the selection was good and all seemed good quality. I would have given a higher rating but there were a few things that irked us… The biggest issue was coming back from a two mile run and not being able to shower as no water, when I called reception I was told it was because too many people were using the water all at once and to wait 20 mins and try again! I’ve stayed in many hotels and never experienced issues with no water in the morning if people are getting ready at the same time. The second issue was the cost of the electric chargers. £12.50 an hour?! That’s just hugely exorbitant and would have meant I’d need to spend over £40 to charge my hybrid, compared to most other public charging points that is way over the odds. Fortunately my car is hybrid so we just had to use petrol to drive home. I can’t see any justification for such a high cost. Finally the £10 a night parking charge even for residents seems high and unusual. Surely for residents staying this should be waived? Fortunately as I’d not been able to shower I persuaded the receptionist to drop the parking charge. I think in light of the issues I’d probably not rush back, but would reiterate that the room and food was ok.

This is my second time staying at this hotel and I just cannot fault the service. Esther on reception was so helpful and even brought a little cuddly toy up to the room for my two year old daughter. The travel cot I had pre-ordered was already in the room when we arrived and we were given a lovely big room that the three of us could enjoy without being on top of each other. The room was spotlessly clean and all the cleaning staff were so friendly in the morning. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent (again a high chair was ready and waiting for us when we arrived) and whilst the breakfast is a buffet, it is a good selection and high quality. The only small thing I would suggest is that the quality of the coffee is improved and that all coffees are included in the breakfast as paying extra for a 'speciality coffee' is not really in-keeping with a hotel of this standard.

We came in for lunch as a family and ate an incredible meal. There were so many different options on the menu, I would recommend the fish and chips. We were served by Joe and Sotty who were very attentive and quick to cater to our requests. We will definitely be returning here in the very near future.
