Hartwell House Hotel

I recently made a spa reservation for two people I hold very close. They were celebrating a very special occasion. I received glowing feedback about how the team at Hartwell House and Spa made them feel very special and pampered. I would recommend this place to everyone who would care to listen! I want to take this moment to thank the team who looked after my parents! You exceeded all expectations and helped make the day so memorable!

We were going to celebrate an important wedding anniversary for my parents by having afternoon tea in one of the luxury hotels in Central London but decided in the end to try afternoon tea at Hartwell House. We made the right decision! The staff were all welcoming and attentive to the right degree. The sandwiches & sweets were exquisite and the tea selection was extensive.

We felt very relaxed in the peaceful atmosphere of the drawing room and had ample space between parties and didn't feel at all rushed. All of the rooms were comfortable and luxurious, including the bathrooms! We went for a lovely walk in the grounds afterwards. I would highly recommend trying an afternoon tea at Harwell House.

A lovely three nights stay at this National Trust hotel. Deliberately kept to it's era it is not awash with modern conveniences but all the important things are provided. The staff are very efficient and courteous and the rooms provide good old fashioned comfort. Nightly rates are not cheap and the food and drink prices are borderline extortionate so apart from breakfast we chose to eat elsewhere.

Wonderful afternoon tea with family. 8 of us with mixture of veggie, meat-eaters, etc all beautifully catered for.

Starting in the spa for their ultimate aromatherapy massage, Christina was absolutely magic! Delicately spoken, she immediately made you feel relaxed. Followed by afternoon tea, in a drawing room all to myself, feeling like royalty. The staff go to lengths to make you feel special and looked after. A special thank you to John (green waistcoat incase there are other Johns lol) who gave me a personal history tour of the house and gardens!

Beautiful historic hotel. Wonderful breakfast with plenty of options; the spa facilities were also great. The staff were wonderful: thank you to Matthew who greeted us, to Joseph who served us dinner and to Molly for the amazing facial. The only criticism would be that it would have been nice to have more vegetarian options for dinner as what was available was very cheese heavy. Thank you again for a lovely stay!

I have covered a couple of wedding's at this beautiful and imposing setting. It has very traditional features and fantastic well kept grounds with the added bonus of a river running through the garden! A superb backdrop for wedding photo's. Staff were lovely. Overall its a supurb venue of weddings, events even for a cheeky weekend away Vanessa White (now Crimson Sky Photography) Aston Clinton

From the moment we arrived in our car and were greeted I knew this was going to be special. I won't spoil the historic elements of the House as that's interesting to read and hear about from the hotel. Our visit was during COVID-19 restrictions so the hotel was only half full as a result you literally felt like you had the house to yourself. Our room was huge and had a mix of original wood panelling and restored but the room was fantastic.

The food is best described as excellent both breakfast and dinner have enough choice for everyone. Breakfast consists of a menu with plenty of choice including en excellent cooked breakfast. Dinner has plenty of choice with some local produce used and you can choose 2 or 3 courses. Plenty to choose from the wine list alongside We used the spa whilst visiting which includes using the gym (v small ) which has two treadmills, a bike, x-trainer, weights etc.

The pool is a decent size and not too deep so most people could stand up without water being above your head. Next to the pool is a jacuzzi which probably can hold 4 to 5 people. Unfortunately the steam room and sauna were not available to guests. Changing rooms, lockers and robes all available and clean. Unfortunately we booked late so spa treatments very limited Service as you would expect is absolutely spot on, nothing is too much trouble. If you want to get away from it all and really wanted to be treated to something special this is the place to come.

We recently visited as day guests for refreshments after a memorial service. We were in the morning room. The decor is charming, the afternoon tea we were served was lively, especially the fruit scones. They catered for vegan and gluten free diners with ease. All in all a very impressive house with attentive staff and good Covid protection policies.

We ate there believing the food was meant to be good. This place is meant to be two rosettes. Service was good. Food was very blah considering. Very disappointing. I certainly would not recommend it at all to dine. Maybe for a drink? I have NO idea how they got two rosettes! I gave it 2 pointed fir ambiance.

Me and my partner won a weekend spa trip here so we decided to use it as a pre-valentines treat. The hotel itself was pretty grand, probably a bit too 'downton abbey for me'. The spa itself was barely a spa. They had a pool with no enough seating around it for all their guests. They had a couple of treatment rooms, and whilst the treatments were fairly good, I've had a lot better.

I can't quite understand why my during my facial I had my face massaged for an hour with different creams. The meal at the hotel was very nice but the atmosphere was about as 'daily mail' as it gets. I think if I lived in middle England and had an aristocratic grandfather this might be my thing. It wasn't.
