Middleton Lodge

우리는 자전거 투어를 위해 이곳에 머물면서 우리 자신을 대접하고 예산을 늘리기로 했습니다. 확실히 고급스러운 휴양지입니다. 당연히 결혼식을 전문으로 하지만, 아름답게 장식된 다양한 객실과 정말 좋은 레스토랑도 있습니다. 이런 품질은 싸지 않습니다. 하지만 이곳에는 정말 훌륭한 직원들이 많아서 확실히 기분이 좋아집니다. A1M을 선명하게 들을 수 있지만, 어떻게든 중요하지 않습니다.

Stayed here many times and it is always fabulous. Staff are lovely, venue is beautiful and the whole experience very relaxing. We stayed in the coach house this time. They have been updated since our last stay in them. Refreshed but still very comfy. We had beautiful weather for March so sat and enjoyed a drink in the courtyard. Again a beautiful venue for a relaxing alfresco drink. Breakfast was the usual array of high quality food and drinks, with a hot option. Lovely stay as always, we will be back.

We had a warm welcome upon arrival, with friendly and helpful staff setting a positive tone. The room was well-appointed and comfortable, and dinner in the restaurant was a highlight — the attentive service and quality of the food made for a memorable evening. A particular standout was our visit to the Walled Garden designed by Tom Stuart-Smith — a truly inspiring space and a real asset to the hotel. On the downside, the showerhead in our bathroom was quite limescaled, and the breakfast service lacked the enthusiasm and attentiveness we experienced the night before. Overall, a lovely stay with just a couple of areas for improvement.

We stayed here as part of a road trip… it was one of the highest-rated (and more expensive) stops we booked, so we expected a proper 5-star experience. The food was genuinely very good and the spa is truly lovely (though you pay extra, which isn’t obvious when you book). But beyond that, it felt far from 5-star. There’s no welcome drink, no help with luggage… just a map and directions to a car park, then you’re left to drag your own bags over gravel (where wheeled suitcases are useless) and up flights of stairs to your room. For £300 a night, the room itself was also a letdown: unbearably hot on arrival (in England?!) with no air conditioning and not even a window opened in advance. It also wasn’t particularly clean (especially the shower). Overall, some parts were lovely, but calling this 5-star while offering so little actual service feels off. For the price, we stayed at cheaper places on our trip that were far more comfortable and welcoming.

Absolutely perfect couples getaway. Beautiful rooms, spectacular service and top notch food and wine. We've stayed a few times now and nothing is too much trouble. The grounds are beautiful too and worth an explore. We always book a dairy hot tub room and I couldn't recommend one of these rooms enough!

Review of Middleton Lodge – Mixed Experience While Middleton Lodge is set in a beautiful location, our recent visit left us somewhat disappointed overall, particularly in regard to the spa experience — and we would not return for that aspect alone. The service at the spa fell short of expectations. Ordering a drink while trying to relax was unnecessarily difficult, which took away from the experience. The facilities themselves are limited: although the pool is advertised as heated, it felt uncomfortably cold even during warmer months. During both of our visits, it was largely unused. There is one outdoor hot tub, but it’s quite small and only fits up to four people, making it difficult to access during peak times. Although we had booked a three-hour spa session, we ended up leaving after just one hour due to the limited amenities. That said, the Coach House provided a far more enjoyable experience. The service there was warm and attentive, and the food was excellent. It was a real highlight of the visit and helped redeem an otherwise underwhelming day. While we wouldn’t recommend Middleton Lodge for the spa, we would absolutely suggest visiting for an evening meal at the Coach House — it’s well worth it.
