Bagden Hall reeks of history without speaking of it. It sits in a beautiful location, although the weather really helped and doesn't seem amiss with its newer building additions. But I've marked the rooms down due to peeling laminates in the bathroom and the outside door to the rooms being unlocked, which also had rotting panels. Yes I know you can lock your own room door, just expected a higher level of security to the rooms. Service and food were very good. Breakfast was your standard fare, in my case a full English. All in all a lovely day and night in a beautiful spot.

Lovely, but you're paying for the upkeep of the Hall. The rooms were just Travelodge-type rooms, down to the hangers! Not really worth the extra 30-odd

We enjoyed a deluxe afternoon tea, and it was perfect. We had been waiting so long for it due to covid restrictions, and it was well worth the wait. They were happy to swap a drink for hot chocolate because the wife does not drink tea or coffee, and they provided a jug full, which was about 8 cups in total. Some venues charge you extra to switch from coffee or tea. For coffee, they provided a cafetiere, which again must have been 6 cups as well as providing another cafetiere without charging anything extra (like other venues do).
You were able to pick two different sandwiches from a selection. The staff were helpful and pleasant and never rushed you into finishing quickly. The quality was well above other venues visited for afternoon tea, and we would highly recommend them.

Came here last week for a loved ones Wake. Fantastic, polite staff and excellent service, particularly Danielle and the Chef. I don't know his name. They managed to produce and serve some fabulous GF sandwiches and a selection of GF cakes, with copious amounts of tea. which was served in gorgeous tea set. They looked after me really well. Thank-you.

Christmas 2021! We've never gone away for Christmas before, what an excellent decision it was to come to Bagden Hall! From the moment we arrived to the moment we left the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The afternoon tea with prosecco was delicious and a lovely opportunity to meet our fellow guests. The buffet in the evening was freshly prepared and offered meat, fish and vegetarian dishes After a relaxed breakfast we returned to our room to open presents; the room was spotlessly clean as was the bathroom On our way back to the restaurant for dinner we had a chat with Father Christmas!
We both thoroughly enjoyed our dinner, generous portions meant we took our cheese and dessert grazing plate back to our room! More food was provided through the evening if anyone had space left! We headed home after a cooked breakfast this morning. We have had a wonderful, relaxing time, the quality of accommodation and food for the cost was incredible. Thank you to all the fantastic staff who took great care of us.
