This is an excellent venue for a wedding. My son got married there on January 21, 2012. The staff really go out of their way to assist you with all your plans and are very friendly. A Master of Ceremonies is available to help guide your guests through your wedding activities. As you can expect, there was a little tension,... More

Very nice looking house from the outside and the ground floor is lovely with huge common areas, interconnected lounges with fireplaces and a bar. Our room (203) was a bit tired and needed redecorating, with shreds hanging down from the curtains and no mini-bar/fridge. I have stayed in nicer rooms in cheaper hotels. The breakfast buffet was excellent, with a... More

I regularly stay at down hall sometimes for 4 days at a time and I always find the staff very welcoming and the service to a high standard. Although its a large older hotel the place is always very clean and well kept. We have chosen this as our companies corporate venue. More

My sister and I went to Down Hall Country House Hotel mainly because she was flying in from France and the hotel was not far from Stansted Airport. To be honest, we were a little put off by some reviews but the special offer for January was excellent so we decided to try it. We were so glad we did!... More

I stayed out Down Hall with my partner in February 2012 and have to say I was very disappointed. Although stunning from the outside, the hotel itself is in need of a refurbishment. Our room was large enough but tired - definitely in need of a new carpet, soft furnishings and bathroom. We had arrived mid-afternoon with plans of going... More

Thank you Booking.com for a Flash Deal introducing me tothis hotel - candidly I would not have stayed here paying the full rate of £140. I actually paid £59.95 for B&B. Based on what could be described as a small stately pile - the old house is stunning and full of antiques or lookalike antiques. My accommodation was in the... More

Went here for a wedding two and a half years ago, so we returned last July for afternoon tea. It was the last day for us in England, and my daughter had been looking forward to "real" tea since we'd arrived. Down Hall did not disappoint! The sandwiches and pastries were delicious, and the service was wonderful. We did stay... More

We stayed here at the weekend & it was lovely. We booked on a kgb deal & were very pleased. We had our complementry bottle of wine in the room waiting for us, glasses to go with it would have been nice, but it did make us smile. We dined in the Grill room, although the food was really lovely,... More

Stayed here for a wedding for 2 nights. The rooms were pretty shabby with the curtains falling apart, bath with mouldy sealant round it, and carpets worn which you wouldn't expect for £175 a night. Also the majority of the younger staff did obviously not want to be there, and many guests were being constantly ignored at the bar. The... More
