We had to attend a funeral immediately after our wedding so I arranged to stay in this hotel the night before the funeral and this was our first night together away from the relatives. When booking I opted for the most expensive option, a suite and was told that I would be getting it as a deal, I explained our... more

My friend and I stopped by to have a coffee recently. Given the reputation of the hotel and the prices it commands, I felt what we were given was somewhat 'mean'. I've had much better experiences in modest town cafes! The milk was served cold and there were no complementary biscuits. Seems a small thing but in the business, it... more

When I queried this and expressed my concerns that any payment would have been fraudulent I was laughed at, when I asked the name of the women speaking... more

The location is beautiful as it is set on a hilltop so when the sun is shining you get some magnificent views. The gardens are immaculate and well maintained - we can see... more

Just returned from an excellent stay at Stanley House. It came highly recommended from a friend who had attended a conference and we were not disappointed. You would think you were in a boutique hotel in London or New York as soon as you arrive. Everything 1st class, rooms very luxurious and spacious, and the food exquisite. This hotel is... more

My wife and I spent three nights at Stanley House just before Christmas. The delay in posting this review results from the need to engage in some follow-up correspondence with the hotel’s management.
