This was our first visit to this fine hotel but it will not be our last. First impressions are everything and as were shown around by the Hotel Director Mr. Thompson we started at the top. However all staff were friendly and informative.The hotel has so much history and is set in 94 acres of parkland so there is much... More

A superb wedding anniversary lunch prompts me to write another paean of praise for this truly outstanding hotel with its delightful restaurant and superb staff. We (widow and widower) were married here five years ago and we have never forgotten how well-organised - yet subtly underplayed - everything was. Hence our frequent return visits, and never has it let us... More

Large luxury rooms in an awesome, somewhat palatial setting. some mod cons are missing (no tea/coffee in your room - but just call up and have fresh coffee delivered instead; small cheap TV / DVD player in the room, etc) but you nevertheless feel very special in this place. It really feels and looks like an 18th century stately home.... More

Our first visit to Hartwell was for Sunday Lunch and everything from the welcome at reception through to the service in the restraurant was truely exception with friendly attentive staff throughout. Lunch was excellent. The white onion soup was unsual and flavoursome, My main course of roast beef was cooked to perfection. My Wife's main course was a fillet of... More

We stayed at Hartwell last Friday night and I wanted to tell you how much we had enjoyed every aspect of our stay. In short, we had an exceptional time ... the glorious setting and architecture was further enhanced by gracious interiors and spacious rooms and historical reverberations. The food was a gourmet and a gourmand's idyll and the staff... More

We recently had the pleasure of staying in Hartwell House. We were celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary and taking advantage of a precious evening away from our delightful but very energetic children. The stay was perfect from the best swimming pool I can remember seeing in a hotel for a long time, to a wonderful dinner and a very... More

I recently spent a night here with my husband, taking advantage of the special offer they had on. We decided on this hotel as it also had a spa. The hotel itself was lovely with open fires, beautiful furniture and amazing artwork (esp on the ceilings!). But bizarrely even though the house was quite grand and could have been a... More

Went to Hartwell House for a SPA Day with a group of friends followed by afternoon tea. The spa facilities were very disappointing compared with venues such as Champneys and Bicester Country Club and value for money was poor. My massage took place in a conference room and was not the firm, Swedish massage that I'd requested. Lunch was not... More

Have been going to Hartwell House on and off for 17 years. The setting is stunning and the house is very comfortable. We went with friends for a meal and the food was simply excellent. The staff were very helpful and friendly, but the food was really memorable my main - Lamb came with the most delicious 'pasta cased' vegetable... More
