Attractive hotel with history.
Attractive hotel, not dated or faded as some manor hotels can be. We were really appreciative of the smaller details and how the historic details of the building were accentuated and not hidden. Staff were lovely and happy to help, particularly a young gentleman who served us in the restaurant. Excellent, well priced meal and I can absolutely recommend the truffle risotto - divine. My only negative comment would be that the restaurant appears to be trying to be overly formal. It was very hushed even thought it was nearly full, there wasn’t much of an atmosphere, we felt we had to be quiet.

Overall good stay room no one on reception on check in and check out though help appeared quickly. Room clean and comfortable could open the windows, - desk chair too low for using table (I am 5’6 and it was not suitable for sitting to use laptop) no milk with tea station had to go ask for a jug, bathroom no frills eg no cotton wool, sanitary bags, or extras like that but dispensers for all essentials. Breakfast ok, no mushrooms with cooked breakfast! Beware old building so lots of stairs and fire doors no obvious lift available and the signs are a bit lacking I got lost on way to reception! Staff polite and smiley well done.

We had a lovely stay, that staff were very stretched and the business needs to think about adding additional staff as they came across rude. Overall, we had a lovely stay despite this.

Wonderful stay. Beautiful hotel with lovely rooms we stayed in the manor double which was gorgeous and a very good size. Slightly limited breakfast options given the price. Spa is lovely, however we went during half term and had to wait about an hour to get in as it got quite busy. Otherwise nice spa facilities, great gym and stunning grounds. Very accessible to Stratford upon Avon city centre and a nice a quiet place away.

We upgraded to stay in the main building as we wanted to use the spa facilities, the outer building rooms would have meant going outside which was not ideal. We had a lovely stay, the only disappointment was the speed of service in the restaurant, we waited a long time for the food to be served. But on saying that the food was good. we decided to eat in the bar area on the 2nd night and the food arrived very quickly. This is our 2nd trip to this hotel and we would return again. the Location to Stratford is excellent and beautiful setting. Each time the weather has not be good, so the spa facilities were ideal.

The room and hotel are delightful and everything you would expect from an historical hotel. Room large and opulent and breakfast plentiful and delicious. Evening meal was also delicious and not too overpriced. A few areas that could further improve the experience: 1. Install a lift for those who find the very narrow staircase difficult 2. Ensure walk up availability to the spa as there was no availability at all even though we stayed 4 nights 3. Change the children time in the pool as between 4:30 - 6:30 would seem to be the prime time and as such it was impossible to swim 4. Finally a snooker table and a hot tub would put the hotel on a par with similar properties we have previously frequented in the area Would return though as the staff very accommodating and a lot to see in the area.

Second visit to this particular hotel, convenient location for visiting Stratford upon Avon. Previously stayed in a barn room which was spacious & quiet, this time stayed in the cosy double in the main hotel. The room was small & quirky but big enough for a short stay for two, however the room can be quite noisy with a close proximity to the kitchen & stairwell to the other rooms. We visited the spa during our stay for a treatment & cream tea which was very enjoyable.

Not the first time. My fav Hotel and SPA in England. Standards are very high and the price is still reasonable. The atmosphere is magical as always. Breakfast is great. I wish I could spend more nights. The location is perfect to visit north of Stratford-upon-Avon and north of Cotswold.

Overall, I would recommend this hotel
I was particularly pleased with this choice of hotel for my overnight stay. The only problem was one of noise created by inconsiderate residents who could not - or would not - control their barking dogs. However, after reporting the matter to Reception at night, it was dealt with effectively by the member of staff on duty. Unfortunately, the barking started again 06.30 - 07.00 but not in the continuous way of the day before. I would just suggest that the hotels warns dog-owners of their responsibilities when booking and I would commend the Receptionist for his effective action.

Weekend side trip.
What a WONDERFUL stay. I will be back. I would love to come back for Christmas. Fantastic experience from staff to the room. Lucked out on my room. Super quiet with 2 windows. Utilized the spa, sauna, and massage, which was nice after spending the day walking around Stratford Upon Avon. Easy to find, plenty of parking, and nice little walking paths. Food was delicious! 20 our of 10.

Great hotel with small things to correct.
Excellent customer service - organising a dog-friendly room. Dog enjoyed the treats. Lovely atmosphere in the bar in the evening. Very comfortable room - exceptionally clean and a good size. Fluffy white towels provided. Plenty of car parking. Would have been nice to have had a coffee machine in the room, real fruit juice at breakfast and hot coffee at breakfast (it was rather luke warm). That said, breakfast was very good. The grounds were beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed a walk from the hotel premises. Bar prices were reasonable and room recommendations about what to do and the history of the manor, we enjoyed reading. Stunning hotel with small things to correct.

We loved our stay at Billesley Manor. All of the staff were brilliant, but Jack and Jack in the dining room were great. They were funny, personable and attentive. A great role model for young people. Just a small criticism is that the tea, coffee and milk was not replenished and the bed wasn't made for our second night, which you would expect in a 4* hotel. Food was fantastic, it was just a shame it seemed there was only the option of sitting at a table with the A La Carte menu , and the bar/lounge menu was only an option on the small tables/on your lap. We possibly could have asked to be shown the bar menu in there, but it wasnt offered to us. I can understand that it is the A La Carte restaurant for a reason, but maybe an area to eat the bar menu sat at a table would be a good idea. Overall feel of the hotel was wonderful, we could not fault it, and the grounds are also so well kept. A manor house stay with a modern twist. We would recommend.
