My boyfriend and I recently visited Wesley House for a 2 night (much needed) break. Only being an hour from home it was close enough so it wasn’t a mission to get there from home but far enough away so we felt that we were getting away. When we arrived we found the hotel easily and parked in the long stay car park as direct by the very friendly staff in the hotel. We arrived on the Sunday and shown to our room which was toward the back of the hotel and shown where the switches were to the bathroom and the shower etc. The front of house staff explained that the hotel and restaurant was closed on Sunday and that we would be on our own. He then left us to settle in and to start the bottle of champagne which was placed in our room at our request. The room itself was nicely furnished and cosy in appearance with an en-suit bathroom. There was a tea tray with fresh milk and what i would assume were homemade biscuits in a little glass jar. This was a lovely touch and gave the room a personal touch. For us the only disappointing aspect of our stay was the room itself. The bed was only a queen size and for two people used to a double we were a little cramped. The room was small and the bathroom even smaller and in the room there was no information on the surrounding area. Winchcombe is a lovely town steeped in history but you wouldn’t have known it existed! Even though the hotel has its own restaurant it would have been useful to know (seeing as it was a Sunday and the restaurant was closed) about places to eat. We ate at the White Hart next door that evening and can't praise it enough. It was brilliant value for money and the food was lovely. Breakfast at Wesley house was really lovely. Prunes and Yogurt, Croissants and then full English Breakfast, tea or coffee and plenty of toast with jam or marmalade. The morning staff were lovely and everything was very relaxed.
On the second night of our stay we had dinner at the hotel and this is where the flawless service and excellent reviews came to light. We had drinks in the bar and nibbles and then canapés before we were taken through to the stunning restaurant. The food was lovely and the wine list was extensive and lots of information was given on each wine. We were served with confidence and finesse. The food was amazing. I cannot say anymore.
Before going to bed that night we asked what time we needed to be out of the room we were told "11:30, 12:00. There is no rush." this was lovely and gave us a chance to finish our break in a leisurely style.
I would recommend Wesley House to anyone for a special weekend away and we will definitely be returning.
