Astley Bank Hotel

Absolutely stunning, The venue was hosting a wedding at the time of our stay. We were emailed prior to arriving, offering us a free cancellation. We chose to continue with our trip, and we had an undisturbed stay. You could hear the events of the wedding in the reception areas but nothing from our room. The room was warm and comfortable, and the hotel itself and the grounds were stunning. An absolute treat. Could not fault it.

The hotel has a lot of character and is set in beautiful grounds that give a real sense of wellbeing. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. We had an evening meal on both occasions we have stayed at the hotel and the food was lovely, with generous portions! Both times we have stayed at Astley Bank, there have been functions on and I can see why someone would choose this place for a wedding or special celebration. Although a little dated, the rooms were clean and of a decent size. Despite the fact there were functions being held at the hotel, we still managed to have a good night’s sleep and were not disturbed by any noise late at night! The buffet breakfast was good, with a reasonable range of cereals, yogurts and hot food etc.

Having stayed before, we knew what to expect and weren't disappointed. Great value for a midweek stay and would heartily recommend Room 28 if it is available. We didn't eat at the hotel other than breakfast .

Staff in reception, bar and evening restaurant were very helpful. Large bedroom with peeiod features. Lovely grand building and grounds. Good evening meal.

The location was very good for us as it was only 5 miles from our son and his family. The breakfasts were very good value and there was a good choice, especially when it was waitress service - buffet style when there were a lot of guests. The evening meal we had was very good and they catered for Gluten Free. The staff were all very friendly, helpful and professional.
