The bones are good here: great service, good food, pleasant grounds, a good conference facility, but a few corners were cut in sizing the rooms (small), ensuring that the technology is working (especially for an academic venue), and putting a double bed in a double room, not exactly comfy for two.

Stayed for one night. What a nice place! Quiet, clean, very cozy and charming. Secluded, surrounded by forest, or so it seemed. We got bread and breakfast (full buffet) for the same price as other other hotels and this was closer to the Bellamere Winery where we were for the evening.

Lovely.

My wife and I stayed at the Ivey Spencer Leadership Centre from May 31st to June 3rd, while I attended company meetings. There was a lot of activity there with other groups at the hotel as well and we were worried about the amount of attention that our group would get. We found that this was definitely NOT the case. The staff was very friendly and service was excellent. The rooms were tastefully decorated and clean and comfortable, and dining options were great with a constantly changing buffet as well as a lounge and plentiful morning and afternoon break/snack options. The grounds were also very beautiful and and enhanced our experience that much more. We highly recommend this hotel.

The location of the hotel is not the greatest. You are really not in walking distance from anything in London, unless you need to get to the University. The rooms are adequate. However, the service at the Ivey Spencer is outstanding. The staff were extremely friendly and they were very helpful. It is rare to find this kind of customer service these days.
