Stoke Park

Now privately owned. Beautiful manor house and grounds

Extremely disappointed, this place is very misleading. Advertised as a park, I get here on my bike to enjoy the sunset and get told it’s actually private property, there are like 2/3 security controls and blah blah… Why in the hell would you need 2/3 security checks for a park? Truly misleading, I hope they change their marketing strategy - to avoid confusing the real park lovers with such words.

In a hotel hospitality of the staff is huge and this hotel did not disappoint. From check in to check out including the bar and dinner staff all were very helpful and pleasant - and mostly very competent. But effort counts and they were working hard. The grounds were well kept up and beautiful. There was quite a bit of renovation going on which took away from the potentially majestic interior space in the main building, but that's OK. At least the painters stopped when we were eating breakfa...

This place is an institution. A beautiful house surrounded by a truly marvellous landscape. You have to visit the golf course to enjoy the countless views. The hotel, try to get a room at the mansion, is truly one of the greats. Same goes for the restaurant and it's outstanding chefs. We will definitely come here again.

This place is absolutely gorgeous. Attended a wedding here and it is perfect for someone looking to have an elegant one. Lovely outside seating looking onto gardens and a fountain. The rooms are very comfortable with all the necessities. The bridal suite was very spacious, especially the bathroom!! (The bath was almost like a mini dipping pool!). Interiors in the main hall are gorgeous, my personal favourite were the chandeliers.
