Widbrook Grange

The best towels ever and largest bed in the Seamstresses room. Great shower and plenty of hot water. Husband did use the bath one night. Our second stay here..this time for 3 nights. Hard to find fault with anything... just would like the option of a pot of tea at breakfast rather than tea bag in a cup. But once we asked for a tea pot one was supplied full of hot water. Breakfast is very good. Evening meal the first night was excellent as was the wine. The gin bar has a wide range of spirits available. Excellent location..easy walk into Bradford on Avon via the canal or road. Staff supplied details of train times into Bath...super easy . Plenty of car parking and nice garden

Just back from a lovely 2 night stay at Widbrook Grange. We stayed in the ‘ Piggery’ wing of the hotel. The room was nice and bright and tastefully decorated with quirky items in keeping with other areas of the hotel. The food was excellent, staff were friendly and efficient and went above and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. The swimming pool and gym were an added bonus. Would definitely stay again.

I'll begin with the positive. The food was great, presented nicely and hot although the menu doesn't change daily. Now, to the not so good. We were in the Artist room, (room 6) which is advertised as a superior double. Sadly this is far from superior. Apart from the bed being comfortable with good quality bedding, that is the only positive we can find. Where to start.... wardrobe: impossible to hang anything due to the nature of the hanger/rail arrangement. No drawer space for clothes so for the time we were there we had to leave our clothes in the case. There is a desk/dressing table which had 2 small drawers which my husband put his medication in only for it to drop straight through. I sat to dry my hair using the mirror above and I could only see the top of my head. The carpet is not clean and there was no heating despite being told that the heating would be on at 6pm. The windows are all cloudy so can't see out. Now to the bathroom: no blind to the window, so we resorted to putting a towel up. No grab rail for the shower and nowhere to put toiletries while in the shower other than the floor which is not ideal.

I took my girlfriend here for her birthday with a great deal I found. We got cream tea, breakfast, a welcome drink and money towards a meal on the first night. We stayed in the Artists room in the house itself and had a lovely spacious room with even a bath tub in the room. We had such a lovely stay and the hotel staff were very welcoming. They even did a little towel work and gave my girlfriend a card. Little things go a long way! It is a great location if you want to venture out to Bath or Bradford on Avon or just for walking. I would highly recommend!

There were a couple of negatives, but the positives outweighed this making our stay very enjoyable. A little tired in places, some maintenance required here and there and lack of flat surface from the car park to the outer buildings across the carpark for wheelchair access. There is an overkill of what you can repurpose as a light fititng and general repurposing within all the rooms making it messy rather than quirky and clever. That woman off the TV must have made a fortune here. Too much 'stressed' shabby and chic-leaning to the shabby side for my liking. Our room #11 was large, fantastic bed and pillows. Really good size TV (not Smart though), very good ameniites, despite no shower bathroom gel/soap for the first night. Very good quality tea used but not labelled in the breakfast room so everyone has to finger and read the very small print on the lables!! This woud not have been allowed two years ago! Great location for Bradford On Avon, Lacock Abbey, Court Gardens and Bath. Exceptional breakfast and extremely hard working staff in the restaurant in the evening and at breakfast. In general our room like most hotel rooms could have a brighter centre light in in this room a brighter one above the mirror outside the bathroom so that one can sit and prepare . No chair here either! The negatives have been reported to the hotel so hopefully will be addressed and I won't mention here. Overall, an enjoyable stay and great location. The Secret Escapes deal made it even more pleasant with the meal and drinks deal. Well worth a visit. Would stay here again and pack my swim wear and give the pool a go.

Welcoming, informative and helpful staff. Excellent food but service poor on Saturday morning. Beautiful grounds and everything spotlessly clean. Quirky antique artefacts make interesting viewing and the gin bar is a delight. A well spent few days.
