Very good hotel

Very good hotel friendly helpful staff.

Two Matters

First on our return to the hotel on our first day, it was about 3.30pm and our room had not been touched (no room service), apparently room service works until 5pm. Anyway within 10 minutes they appeared and we sat in the lounge while it was made up. Not sure what the hotel does when it is really busy, but an unmade up room was a surprise to us.

We stayed for 3 nights and the dinner menu did not change and there were no specials. Because of the options we had to choose options twice rather than trying out three different main courses. This is the second time this has happened T Charingworth and it may result in us going elsewhere next time.

Short stay

Our first concern was that the hotel did not have an EV charging point. Fortunately I checked beforehand so this did not become a problem.
In an hotel that emphasises its gourmet restaurant it was disappointing to find such a limited dinner menu and one that was almost identical on the two evenings we ate there. There was no choice of decaffeinated coffee after dinner.
The breakfasts were adequate although it was impossible to get hot coffee
Clearly the hotel should not advertise its tennis courts. They are currently in an unplayable and dangerous condition. Apart from this we enjoyed our stay

Mid week break

An enjoyable break shame abut the weather and renovations. Parking was restricted and the menu was the same both nights. The spa was disappointing just a pool! Staff were friendly but hampered by the changes in the hotel. Our bill was incorrect on first submission but quickly rectified.

Mr and Mrs Young

Bearing in mind the Manor renovation work that we were aware was taking place when booking we thought there was little disruption for our short stay. So well done to the staff.

Enjoyable stay

My husband and I had an enjoyable short stay at the Charingworth Manor in February. It was at the time that renovations/upgrading was taking place on the main part of the hotel, so not everything was running as smoothly as it could. The phone and television in our bedroom suite was not working. However, we did have an extremely good meal and generally enjoyed our stay. Certainly would recommend the food (which was served in the temporary Orangerie restaurant while the main restaurant was undergoing work).

Great hotel

Everything was perfect. We just found the location was a bit remote.

WC problems

Before we went to dinner our wc started giving us problems it constantly running water into the pan but not filling the cistern so wouldn t flush We reported this when we went for dinner but was not fixed I removed the bucket from the bin and used that to try and flush it. I was surprised that there was nobody to answer the phone after 8pm , it did impact on our enjoyment of the stay.Also the disabled parking was horrendous ( none ). I don t know if we would stay again under the present circumstances but the staff were lovely and the food good .
