Hotels Near Leam Valley Local Nature Reserve in Royal Leamington Spa

It's a very pleasant place to stay near Lemington Spa and staffs are very kind and always supportive.

My family and I recently stayed at the wonderful Woodland Grange Hotel. We read lots of great reviews so decided to give it a try. Thankfully they are now a dog friendly hotel (yayyy!!!). We booked 2 of their king rooms and both rooms were really lovely, super roomy and spotlessly clean (including the bathrooms) with super comfortable beds. On arrival, in my room, there was a gorgeous “Doggy welcome gift box” with blanket, poo bag dispenser (with poo bags), tennis ball and travel water bowl (so cute!). Our dog LOVES presents and wasted no time in ravaging through it all. He snuggled in the blanket and made himself at home within minutes! ALL the staff were so lovely and made such a fuss of him (and us)… It was so sweet. A super helpful lady called Annie personally walked us down to their massive field behind the hotel where our dog was immediately in heaven playing. Having our fur baby with us, it was so convenient to have that fabulous field literally on our doorstep! They also have a gorgeous front garden area too (beautifully lit up at night), with gazebo, outdoor sofas, etc… It looked so stunning! They have a huge restaurant (which, understandably, don’t allow dogs, when really busy) but they have a lovely alternative dining area (which allow dogs) in the bar areas… and they have 2 x different DELICIOUS menus to choose from. Due to family commitments, we were only there for 1 night, so we had breakfast and supper there but the food (at both meals) was absolutely AMAZING and the choices were so great. I noticed on the reception desk, they had won a hospitality award for their food & drinks and we all agreed, it was very well deserved. They even brought a water bowl and treats to our dog when we were having dinner in the bar area (so thoughtful!). Woodland Grange is so conveniently located, as it’s away from the hustle bustle, yet is only a 6min drive to Leamington Spa town centre. What an AMAZING hotel with such special staff… and we can’t wait to stay there again. All the staff were so friendly and so accommodating throughout our whole stay! A special and huge thanks to Oliver, Annie, Lili, Melanie, Katie and all the staff there, for giving us such a wonderful and welcoming stay!!! We have recommended to all and can’t wait to come back again!!!

A spotlessly clean room, in an excellent location, within easy access to Coventry & Warwickshire. This was our first time staying here, so the peculiarities of having no one on site, was a little daunting prior to arrival, but the information we received ensured there was nothing to worry about. The access code allowed easy entrance to the building and our room (room 7) was spacious and spotless. There is ample parking in front and at the rear of the property and we found everything to our liking. One special mention needs to be the ease of access in to Coventry from here, with the route through the new ”JLR access road” meaning that there is no need to go on to the busy A45 at all, as it brings you out at the London Road, so the CBS Arena and City Centre are easily accessible, as is Kenilworth/Leamington & Warwick plus Rugby and the M45 is only 15 minutes drive. All in all we were really pleased to have found this little gem, with a couple of pubs & restaurants within walking distance, it is very good value for money.

Room was clean and tidy, good value for the money. A good variety of TV channels and free WiFi, you can purchase films at £3.50 each but the selection could be bigger, and in this day and age I think £3.50 to watch a film is a but steep. Was surprise I had to pay for parking when I arrived at the hotel, a token should be given to guests for free parking. I could of driven straight out of the parking area as the barriers were not working, which the hotel knew about but still wanted me to pay the £6.50 for our overnight stay. Hotel reception, bar and restuarant was nice and modern but we only had one drink in the bar due to the prices, Pint of Heineken and half a coke was just under £8, so being just a 5 min walk into the town centre and 2 local pubs just a minutes walk away, we decided to eat out and drink out, saving ourselves a lot of cash. I'm happy to pay good money for good food, but the prices for food were just too high for a hotel restuarant, and nothing on the limited menu that my 13 year old daughter liked. This is a large hotel, so I think it would be good for management to extend there food menu for family's and at reasonable prices, even if it's just the bar menu. Opposite the hotel there are numerous outlets, restaurants, take away pizza, kebabs etc. Hotel is in a great locations. If you like playing pool, there is a Rielys pool bar 100yards from the hotel. Would I stay again? Yes I would, staff were friendly, hotel was clean, had a good night sleep, bed was comfy, shower worked fine, large TV, great location, local shops outside, walking distance into town, my only issue really, was that we had to pay for parking at the hotel, to stay at the hotel, I personally don't think that's ok.

We came back again for three nights, accompanied by my two young children. We always have a great time, it is so safe for the children and fellow people staying and staff friendly. The children felt they had a lot of freedom in a welcoming environment. Nice and close to Stratford, a lovely place to explore. We stayed in the accessible room on the ground floor near reception. My only gripe is that the room was not what I would call properly clean on arrival. There was quite a bit of dust on fixtures and fittings and debris under beds etc. The bathroom could also do with a deep clean. Either the cleaners are not trained/doing a good enough job and/or they are not properly supervised. Also, I got totally confused by the signage in the kitchen about turning on the extraction fan above the hops when cooking, but it failed to point out that the hob would indeed NOT WORK without the fan on, which is a different message altogether... I turned on all the hobs and even told the person at reception they were not working, only to be told the fan needed to be turned on for them to work. It wasn't just me who was confused, the next person who entered the kitchen had the very same issue! We hope to be back soon.

The castle hotel where Elizabeth I spent his childhood is really beautiful, the environment is beautiful, and the medieval castle hotel itself is classic and beautiful, it is worth visiting. Service is good, breakfast is good, as long as it is not a weekend, the price is super high, it is definitely worth a stay |

I’m sorry to have to write a less effusive review than previous contributors. First impressions of the hotel are very good with what seems to be a well presented interior, friendly and helpful staff, a comfortable ambiance and an impressive staircase to all the rooms. However, it didn’t take much to notice that the carpet on the stairs was old, becoming threadbare and needing a clean. This theme continued to our room. The room seemed impressive at first but was immediately let down by a strong, lived smell. I tried to open the windows, but they were in a poor state of repair and could only open a few inches and with some effort. The bathroom smelled of damp and the ceiling over the shower was damp, slightly mouldy and with peeling paint. It didn’t take much to notice that what was once a very good carpet was filthy and hadn’t been cleaned properly in years. The soft furnishings smelled lived in and were stained ( something I noticed about the upholstered bench in the restaurant too). I did report to the very nice member of staff on duty who said the hotel’s owners (a small chain called whose name I can’t remember), hadn’t invested in the property for years. The staff really were very friendly and apologetic. Such a shame.

We stayed there two nights and there were 4 of us thus two, Deluxe rooms were booked. Absolutely nothing, except the size, was anywhere near Deluxe. The seats of the bar chairs were stained badly. The fridge in the room was empty, not even a bottle of water. When I asked if they had forgotten to fill it, the receptionist, totally disinterested, answered that they didn’t do that anymore and if we wanted a bottle of water, we had to ask for it at the reception. It was free but only on request. The second day we returned from a long day out to find the room and bed not made up and the bathroom exactly as we had left it.. again at the reception, where I was told that that also was only on request. We have stayed in very many hotels this and also in past years but this was just totally at the bottom of the list even though it was one of the most expensive. €1,000 for two nights. There were no lights on the dark path around the hotel.All in all a discrace all round for any hotel, not to mind a, so called luxury hotel… terrible. Booking.com only mentions our favorable comments and that were ..Good beds and pillows and perfect location. Had I read any of the more honest reactions, I would never have chosen this hotel. Hospitality was totally lacking, just as the honesty on the Booking.com site. Sad after many years of loyal use and satisfaction.. very disappointed this year !

The room is very good and clean, there is no elevator, the room corridor is the same as the maze
