I stayed here with my husband and our son for a friend's wedding in May. We booked a junior suite with a four poster bed and were quite disappointed. Not that it was "bad", there was just nothing "wow" about our room or the hotel whatsoever. We can, in fact, not believe that it's a four star hotel as we've... More

Stayed here for two nights in May 2012. Sopwell House is very well presented and initially created a good impression on arrival but was let down a little by poor customer service from the eastern european lady on reception who failed to manage a smile or give us any basic information. I will say though that the other staff on... More

My wife and I spent 3 nights at Sopwell House prior to and after my brothers wedding last October, and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. We arrived on the Wednesday evening and enjoyed a beautiful dinner in the Brasserie restaurant, overlooking the floodlit gardens to the rear of the hotel, where we later enjoyed a beautiful relaxing stroll....

We booked in for 2 nights as my sister had her wedding reception here. We had a family room which was exceptional, huge and so so comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful and very very tasty, even my 3 and 7 year old loved it! Staff were very friendly and helpful, we cant wait to come again! Thank you for an amazing... More

As part of a group of 4 friends we were expecting a relaxing weekend where we would be able to chill out in the spa and have a lovely laid back evening. From the moment of arriving to the moment of leaving it was awful. The spa area was so busy there was such little space people were queuing just... More

Really enjoyed our stay. Everything is so clean, staff are very professional and the Spa is really top notch. Such is the level of Service you receive its definitely on par with other more expensive Spa Hotels.....its just very minor things letting it down.

I recently attended a wedding reception and ceremony at SH. Whilst it was a lovely occasion, what struck me and many others was the extortionate prices being charged at the bar for drinks. £2.25 for a standard can of fizzy orange drink (average price approximately £2.00 for six cans of the same brand) was ridiculous and the beer and spirit...
