Noise. For a hotel charging 400 per night to which for us is a standard room nothing special. Nice spa, food very tasty, although left us both a tucked to the toilet most of the night, and the music can be heard throughout the hotel. They had a wedding, fair enough but we wanted a nice weekend away. And the music was soo loud. Surely they'd sound proof the function room. Not had this problem with other hotel near by. Like the bridgewood Manor Hotel. Was more for the money and didn't even hear the wedding from our room.

Brilliant from start to finish. Every member of staff were polite and helpful and went out of their way to make our stay special. This was for my Nans 80th Birthday which I had told the lady over the phone when booking but only in conversation and when we went to dinner they had decorated the table and also bought out a desert with "happy birthday" written in chocolate. It's the little touches that make it really special, and it was so thoughtful. So thank you to everyone there. We are already planning our next stay!

My husband and I were married at Hempstead House on 30/04/22. The service we received by Danny, Lucy and every single member of staff from, reception, catering team, waiting and House keeping apologies if I've not mentioned anyone as you were all phenomenal, was second to none. We were made to feel very special and nothing was too much trouble. We had many family members stay from Friday through to Sunday and everyone had nothing but praise for all at Hempstead House.

So thankyou for helping us create what was the absolute best time of our lives. If you are thinking of using Hempstead House for your wedding or any other of their services then I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Once again thanks to all.

This hotel is very accomadating. Nothing is to much trouble for them. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, the hotel itself is clean. Rooms are nicely decorated and equipped. The spa facilities are excellent, especially the hydro pool! Food in the lakes restaurant is absolutely fantastic, a, special thanks to Laura who organised a meal for my husband, who's a fussy eater. Breakfast is equally delightful, with quality ingredients used. I will definitely be back again. Thank you to all the lovely staff.

To be honest I was disappointed with the afternoon tea. I had ordered 4 afternoon teas, 1 dairy free which had been ordered at the time of booking. 3 of the afternoon teas were beautiful and I have no complaints but the dairy free one was not up to standard. It was bland and had no dairy free cream! It was 2 very dry scones with 2 packs of flora margarine. I asked for a cream alternative as I have always had this with previous afternoon tea's but the lovely and apologetic waitress said they didn't have any. I just feel really disappointed as the others looked lovely, a real shame no effort was made to get dairy free cream. All of the staff here were lovely though so thank you to them.
