We stayed at the Witchery for our first wedding anniversary. We had stayed there last year for one night in the Old Rectory, so had high expectations. The room was lovely, but a lot smaller than the Old Rectory, probably due to being in a different smaller building. The staff as always were discreet and pleasant. The bed was very... more

What fun! Staying at the Witchery is pure theatre, gloriously gothic and indulgent. We stayed in the Sempill suite which was lovely, the bedroom in particular. If we were being picky, there are lots of details which aren't quite up to scratch and are a little tacky: evidence of superglued ribbons, faux fur cushions that are a little Primark (I... more

I took my husband to the Witchery for a 30th birthday surprise and absolutely loved it. Our jaws hit the floor when we were shown to our suite, the Inner Sanctum. The bedroom was massive with an incredibly comfortable four poster bed and raised area for breakfast in the morning. We were amazed by the room and all the various... more

We stayed in one of the beautiful Witchery suites for the first night of our honeymoon. We got married across the road in the Hub, so it was a perfect location for us. That wasn't the only reason we picked the Witchery, we knew it would be special & The Semple suite we stayed in did not disappoint!!! The whole... more

The Witchery is quite simply the most amazing hotel that My partner and I have ever stayed in. Luxurious and opulent beyonf belief, this was booked as an extra special night for us to celebrate a special occasion and it did not disappoint. It has to be seen to be believed. We staued in the Inner Sanctum, the oldest of... more

This hotel is perfect. The rooms are all suites with a theme-ours was gothic medieval church ("The Vestry"). The bath was surrounded by red velvet curtains, the bed had a pipe organ headboard and the whole room was a theatrical fantasy.There was champagne on ice when we arrived and a wonderful breakfast delivered to our door in the morning.. We... more

We stayed at the Witchery in December 2006 to celebrate our engagement. The chose the Armoury suite for its Gothic charm and weren't disappointed by the suite itself. The rooms are large and comfortable and we loved the bath room so much we had 3 baths and 1 shower in the 24 hours we spent there! However, we had tried... more

Stayed here for the second time, our first stay was in the Library suite and this time we stayed in the Armoury. The Armoury suite contained a small but well equipped kitchen, a reception area, a dining area, bathroom and the main bedroom. Did not enjoy this suite as much as the library, the Armoury is very dark (makes putting... more
