Hawkstone Hall Hotel & Gardens

Ian and I have just returned from a night at Hawkstone Hall. This amazing gem of a place is hidden away in the countryside but easy to get to and well worth the journey. We had a delightfully sunny room with extensive views and all our needs catered for. The evening meal was beautifully cooked and presented which totally complimented the stunning dining room and views over the gardens. The staff were professional, friendly and extremely helpful; no request was too much trouble. We actually don't think words does it justice and would strongly suggest you take a visit for a day or stay over to experience the Hall, gardens and amazing hospitality.

There is nothing to complain about. Everything was top notch

What a wonderful place this is . From the stunning view you get approaching this beautiful hall , to the food , the staff , everything is perfect. We dined for Fathers Day lunch . On arrival, we were greeted promptly and taken to our table in opulent Saloon Restaurant. Drinks orders were taken quickly and the menu/specials explained. After an amuse-bouche , two of us had the prawn cocktail and two the chicken & pistachio terrine. All were perfectly presented and tasted lovely . For main we had both the beef and lamb dinners between us and again gorgeous. For pudding , we had the Bakewell tart and mango cheesecake. Again perfect. Throughout the meal the staff were attentive, polite and made sure we wanted for nothing. The set menu price was £38 and for what we received was incredible. It really is high end dining, in stunning surroundings, with fantastic staff . I don’t take to trip advisor, too often but Hawkstone Hall really does deserve all of the praise . We shall definitely be returning and recommending to all we speak to .

We were travelling the UK from New Zealand. Hawkstone Hall was the highlight of the accommodations we stayed at. Not only is it a beautiful building which has been wonderfully and sympathetically restored, but the staff were A1. The menu was excellent as was the food. I have already recommended Hawkstone to friends and family as a special treat destination.

Everything about this ‘stately home’ hotel states luxury and first class service, from the amazing, unique approach road through a rock bridge, to the extensive landscaped grounds which are a delight to explore and are up to national arboretum standards. The public rooms, many of which have views of the grounds, evoke the splendid history of the house and our bedroom was large, light and airy with an equally large bathroom to match. We enjoyed the dining experience including breakfast in a garden facing room, with very attentive and friendly service at all times. But most of all it was the staff who made our stay extra special. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome and that nothing was too much trouble to make our stay perfect. From being met at the door by Will who gave us a fascinating history of the house, to the attention to our every need by Tim and the rest of the team we could not have been better treated if we had been the owner of the hotel. It seems from the many 5* reviews that others have enjoyed the same experience and we agree with all the comments comparing this hotel with other outstanding places around the world. I want to thank everyone involved for making my wife’s 70th birthday a memorable occasion and we can’t wait to return when the opportunity arises.

Having booked a voucher for a family member believing it to be Hawkstone Hall, I later found to my horror I had booked the wrong venue, I was in hope that I could retrieve the monies and redirect it to the correct Hotel, the response I got from the so called beverage manager Abigale was horrid, 'ITS NOT ON US ! ITS YOUR FAULT ! ! which was not the response I was expecting, further more my message sent to the General manager Mr Sims, as still not activated a reply some several days later - good luck if you ever encounter a problem with this lot
