Grateley Hotels

"Arrived late so didn’t speak to the staff much, the man on reception was nice. Rooms pretty clean (I booked 2 rooms). Could do with a bit of a refurb in areas. Didn’t have breakfast there it’s expensive. Parking is chargeable now which I was surprised about because it used to be included. "

"Lovely hotel with very good food in the restaurant and lively facilities in the spa "

"We visited the Chilworth Manor Hotel for our mini moon after we got married. The receptionist was very rude and abrupt when we arrived to pay before our wedding (before we got married) and made us feel unwelcome from the get go. We had booked an executive room which isn’t the cheapest room in the property and we were placed in a dark and dingy room with dark patches and holes on the netted curtain (room 6) clearly not the mini moon we expected however as we arrived at 1 am we were unable to switch rooms. Sadly we will not be staying again and has left a very sour taste after what was the best days of our lives. "

"Receptionist on arrival was very friendly & helpful. The room was just what was needed, clean with a large comfortable bed. Bathroom had a large walk in shower. Hotel was very quiet at night & we slept well. We didn’t use the bar or restaurant so can’t comment. Excellent location & the car parking was very useful. A pleasant stay & would return. "

"The room was dark and very tired. Loose light fittng that's not suitable for family stay. Breakfast was sad. Plates and glasses are dirty. Glasses you can feel it still had dirts all around them.I thought it would be equivalent to Premier inn but it's much worse. On the way to reception at ground floor, it smell like weed. One of the private room was playing loud music. Towels and beddings are dirty. .."

"First time staying in The Merchant and although the single bed room was a bit of a hike from reception it was clean and comfortable Staff were very welcoming especially at breakfast which was an excellent buffet"

"Staff at check in were great. Car park was very full because there's a public gym at the hotel. Hotel rooms are weird - there's only a window in the bathroom. No fresh air available in the actual hotel room. Air con system is rubbish. Room was dusty throughout. Terrible night's sleep because there was a thumping noise coming from above my room - it sounded as if we were directly under the gym and there was always someone throwing weights at all hours. Not a good experience. "

"Kitchen had just closed when I arrived in the evening (midweek) but remaining catering staff offered me soup and sandwiches. Always a most enjoyable stay."

"Good staffs"
