I've stayed at the Hanbury a number of times over the past year. Driving up the long drive is a fantastic experience the first time you stay - it is a stunning looking hotel, especially at night when both the hotel and the huge oak tree outside are lit up. There seem to be two types of rooms - some... more

The Hotel is a combination of an original and beautiful old manor house and extentions added on, most of which are in keeping with the original. There is a newer modern block of rooms in a separate building. Our room was in the main old part. It was of adequate size with a view of the golf course which surrounds... more

It is a beautiful building in beautiful grounds but the prices!! Our Friends had paid for my Friend and I (as it was our 50th and 60th birthdays) for one nights dinner, bed and breakfast. ( We paid for our Hubbies to go as well - £149 each) The Receptionist was very pleasant but we couldn't seem to make her... more

We booked this at the last minute for the bank holiday weekend and were pleasantly surprised at how lovely the hotel and grounds were. We had a room with two double beds in which meant we had a lot of space with a nice view of the manicured grounds. We especially liked the restaurant where we had lunch and breakfast,... more

Very beatiful old building in Jacobean style. First impressions were very good, however we soon realised that food and drinks were ridiculously expensive for the quality and quantity given. We love fine dining and fine wines, but just felt that the chef was deliberately making the courses small to sell more. One small baby turnip on the side and a... more

When walking through the door of this hotel you just know its going to be beautiful!!! The grounds, the spa and the views are amazing. Yes the hotel is an old building so in some areas it feels outdated and for example air conditioning is not going to happen, but the service more than makes up for it! Breakfast is... more

I wrote a review on 18-Apr after my first stay which was during the week. Having now stayed over a week-end I'll just review here what extra I noticed: Staff remain consistently efficient and professional. This time being a week-end and therefore busier, it was noticable that serivce was not always as prompt, e.g. getting drinks on the terrace mid-afternoon,... more

This is the best hotel we have stayed at in this country, We only ate in the zodiac restaurant, but the service was next to none, and the food can only be discribed as great,you have to pay but it is worth every penny, the town of ware has some nice restaurants especially the greek taverna, also within a short... more

Fantastic looking hotel from the outside and the grounds. The long drive in prepares you for....what ever you expect. The staff are very helpful amd pleasant and do anything for you. The Oakes restaurant for diner and breakfast was great...the Seabass was to die for. The menu was very limited to 5 choices so take a walk to the pub(Pig... more
