We have stayed at Wokefield Park a few times in the past and found it a lovely place that we were happy to return to whenever we were in the area. How disappointed we were on returning recently, for the first time in 2 years to find that the place has changed immeasurably for the worse! This is such a shame because Wokefield Park is in a beautiful location in open countryside yet still with very easy access to the M4 and Reading and could be/has been a truly memorable and unique place.
The main problem currently seems to stem from low moral and a pervading bad attitude among staff. Staff at reception were brusque at best and my two requests during our stay, for the bathroom to be cleaned ( see below) and a query about why our room had not been cleaned at all one day were met with dismissive, defensive remarks- not a hint of an apology in either case, and an inclination to 'pass the buck' and blame other departments for the failings.
None of the staff seem happy in their work: it was rare to see a smile, or to take pride in what they are doing; many were unprofessional. The most worrying event was when I asked at reception for another key to our room, this was produced instantly when I gave the room number, without any check of my identity or how many keys we already held.
The building itself is tired and in need of a refurb, or a coat of paint at the very least, but the most worrying aspect is how dirty the whole place was. Our experience echoes those of other reviewers. The walls in the room were covered in scuff marks and stains, the carpet was stained and there was a thick layer of dust around the tiles in the bathroom, mould on the grout in the shower and the airvent in the bathroom covered in a layer of dust that lookad as if it had built up over many years.
Overall very disappointing and really rather sad: what has happened???

My wife and I stayed two nights in Feruary 2012, guests at a wedding on the second day. There was nothing disastrous about our stay but then there was nothing memorable either.
The reception staff were courteous but not over friendly. The Mansion House bedroom was spacious and reasonably clean, dirty marks on the walls and a thick layer of dust on top of the wardrobe let it down. Would also be nice to have a biscuit or similar provided to have with the tea and coffee facilities. The food again was okay but not very exciting and there appeared to be quite a lot, including the canapes, that were mass produced. Breakfast was not the best quality, eggs floating in grease, very salty bacon etc, and there appeared to be a lack of staff around to check the quality or the stock levels.
On the positive side, the bedrroom was very quiet so we had two excellent nights sleep. The quality of service varied a fair bit, but it was generally good, especially the male bar staff in the Mansion House.
I could almost have given the Wokefield a 'very good' marking since we did enjoy our stay, but we didn't leave thinking that it had been a memorable experience.

Stayed here end of January for one night. Receptionist was rude and unwelcoming. Was glad to get upstairs to the room, which was clean and modern. We had a decent view, overlooking partly car park and golf course. Decided we would go for sauna, long walk and no staff. At least we had the place to ourselves.

We used the freephone at reception to call for a taxi. And I have to say the company they use Platinum Cars, what a wonderful service they provided. The driver was courteous, friendly and shared some funny stories. We were picked up late in the evening very promptly and again
used their services the next day. Would highly recommend their services.

Highlight of the stay was coming back from our evening out a
and picking up free hot chocolate (scrummy) and biscuits from reception.

We stayed for one night and were allocated rooms in the Wellington Lodge. Although this was a bit out the way, we had to drive across the complex to get to the swimming pool, the rooms were lovely.
We spent Saturday afternoon walking around the grounds, had a game of crazy golf - only £1, played in the nintendo lounge and went in the swimming pool. There were lots of other activities advertised, mud buggies, ropes course, archery etc, but all of them were quite pricey at £25 - £30 per person. It's worth noting the pool is all one depth, 1.2m, so not very suitable for kids. Our nephew was a bit disapointed his feet didn't touch the bottom!
The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We arrived two hours early but they got our rooms ready early, and the restaurant and bar staff were only too happy to oblige a with a fussy 7 year old's requests!
Everyone in our party enjoyed the free tea, coffee, biscuits and fruit that were dotted around the complex!
We had double and triple rooms in the Wellington Lodge, and both were nice and modern, spacious and had wetrooms with monsoon rain showers. The triple room was HUGE! It had a double and single bed, but you could quite easily have fitted two more in there!
We had breakfast in the Mansion House restaurant, and there was a large selection of excellent food.
Our only complaint from the whole trip was the poor tv signal in the rooms, so the men had to go to the bar to watch the rugby :-p
All in all a lovely stay in a great hotel. We will definitely be back!
