We stayed in the West Wing. The Priory could be an absolutely great place to stay, if only some more attention was given to the finishing touches. These included - a lovely log fire made up in the grate, but no matches to light it - some of the furniture was distinctly second-hand rather than in any sense antique -... more

I don't think the people who have written negative revews researched this place prior to staying. I had been told about Butley Priory by somebody else who adored it and when I went it didn't dissapoint. We are definately planning to do our wedding here next year and so glad I found it, it is really romantic and has such... more

What an amazing place!!! Historic, charming and over all, totally romantic. Only stayed for one night and really regret we didn't stay longer. We wanted to stay somewhere romantic and away from it all, Butley Priory didn't disappoint. From the moment we arrived, we were totally aghast. The friendliness on our arrival, meeting Lilly the dog and being shown into... more

We spent 3 nights at this marvellous and VERY different historic B&B and loved every minute. It is not a smoothly run boutique hotel and guests should not expect 24 hour service etc., but if you want to stay in a building which ouzes history and has been a much loved family home for many years then this is the... more

My wife & I have just returned from spending a two night midweek B & B stay at £130 per night. It was described as having 21st century comfort and will have flowers and chocolates in the room as part of the price. The building,grounds and location were beautiful and it plain to see why it is chosen as a... more

We have just returned from a 2 night stay in the West Wing at Butley Priory, what an impressive room, absoulutely beautiful. The room was enormous, very clean and the bed was huge and very comfortable. We were made aware that we could light a fire in the fireplace in the room, logs were provided but the weather was too... more

Booked to stay at the Butley Priory for the Easter weekend, Cancelled our booking the very next day [4 weeks before Easter] Lo and behold!! the hotel have taken the whole amount from my bank account. If this is how they manage their hotel I can understand the poor reviews. I certainly won't be dealing with them in the future... more

Things must have changed since October (reading previous reviews...) We had a fantastic experience. Room was spottlessly clean and tidy. Wonderfully light and totally relaxing... amazed that we were allowed to light the fabulous open fire in our huge room. Bed extremely comfortable. Breakfast was great - we loved the fact that it was actually served later than in most... more

I got married at Butley in September 2007 and stayed three nights. I had the most amazing wedding experience, Natalie and the other staff couldn't have been more helpful and efficient. It is truely a magical place to get married, but on to the accomodation, I totally disagree with some of the reviews on here. The whole point of this... more
