I was at the hotel as part of a package which was fantastic value - £75pp for champagne afternoon tea, use of the pool and facilities, 3 course dinner, accommodation and full English breakfast. I've stayed at the DVH before and always found it to be a really good hotel with attentive and professonal staff. The rooms are really spacious... More

We stayed here for two nights, as part of the 'Bacchanalian Feast' package, so we would be close to Highclere Castle. We stayed in an Executive suite, which was very close to the spa, and allowed us to walk to the pool/spa in the dressing gowns which are provided in the suite. The spa and pool are excellent, as were... More

Myself and my partner stayed here on the "Love Spring" offer - we have stayed here for overnight breaks on varying packages that the hotel offer over the last couple of years - this stay was lovely as we were given an upgrade to a suite (bonus) The room was nice, clean and comfortable, to be honest we really like...

We chose to stay at the Donnington Valley Hotel so that we were close to Highclere Castle. Excellent location for visiting Highclere. Room was comfortable and cleanly appointed. Breakfast was not included in the cost. The elevator was out of service while we were there and the configuration of the floors is such that to reach our second floor room... More

We booked the Bacchanalian Feast package for my wife's birthday weekend and, were it not for a disappointing dinner on the first night, would not have hesitated to give five stars. On the second night it was like eating in a different restaurant, with the food living up to the two AA rosette billing. On the first night the food... More

The restaurant has a very good, if limited, menu. The food is of a high quality as well. The hotel spa is clean and well presented, and the rooms are comfortable and well specified. There are plenty of thoughtful touches and attention to detail, and the beds are comfortable. The rooms would only be improved by doing away with the... More

We stayed at the Donnington Valley hotel this last weekend. On arrival we were welcomed by a good check-in, but when we arrived at the room, we discovered a broken light (not a big issue), a broken, and dangerous kettle, and no fridge, which was included in the room description. Having brought food to cater for a special diet, when... More

Dear newfriendsVerwood, Thank you for your feedback and I am very sorry that you feel that we are trying to charge for extras everywhere. There would appear to be some miscommunication regarding these issues and I am very sorry if the wrong information was given to you by my staff.
