If you're looking for a countryside escape, a chance for R&R and a bit of spa, then Wroxall's the place for you!

I booked an overnight stay with my other half as we were desperately in need of a battery recharge - one night away from our little girl, just the two of us. The building is absolutely stunning - even with grey skies it looked imposing.

The staff were falling over themselves to be of help - phoning the spa on our behalf, answering questions etc, and prompt service of afternoon tea when it was ordered. The spa is not up to the standard of somewhere like Ragdale Hall, but the facilities were good and everything was clean - very important! There's a full size swimming pool, jacuzzi, steam room, sauna and a therapist on hand for wonderful ESPA treatments so I'm not complaining!

The restaurant provides two evening menus to cater for different budgets - very helpful and we didn't feel we were compromising on taste or quality by not choosing from the A La Carte menu. Portions were good and food was beautifully presented and delicious!

Breakfast was also good, and who can complain with the beautiful views from the restaurant in the morning.

Our room was spotlessly clean, charming with high ceilings, bay window and a very, very comfortable bed. Admittedly is you look closely atthe paintwork in places it perhaps needs some refurbishment, but I really think that this is nitpicking. I stayed at a Hilton recently - soulless identikit bedrooms and bathrooms, the hotel situated close to a busy road and retail park. Wroxall is the opposite of this and all the more refreshing for it.

I planto go back just as soon as we've saved up a few pennies and found someone to have the little one again!

Just returned from a two day (one night) stay at Wroxall Abbey, taking part in a company management conference.
The buildings are lovely, old and charming, just as expected. The free wifi in the public parts of the hotel is a big plus. The staff, whilst very young, were friendly and eager to help (which is instantly better than staff in other hotels I've stayed in recently). The conferencing facilities were very good - although the seating is starting to feel very second hand. Several chairs had been patched beyond what would have been reasonable repair and shouldn't have been used. The home-baked fresh cookies at coffee breaks were to die for, and the food we had prepared for us was top-notch.

The bedroom, oh boy - what a disappointment. I was in room 83 on the second floor. It was a fairly large double room with a wingback chair (that had faded upholstery and had seen better days), a TV (not flat screen), a bureau and a desk with a mirror. The bathroom had a corner bath with shower-over. First impression when walking in to the room was that it hadn't been properly cleaned, there was a huge, dubious stain in the middle of the floor. When I turned in for the night, the curtain didn't shut fully, and the bed turned out to be two singles put together, with different height mattresses, but it was very comfortable.

Using the shower in the morning, I looked up towards the recessed light fitting above and wondered "What on earth is growing inside that?". Have you seen Star Trek 3 - The Search for Spock? There were things in the light fittings that resembled what the microbes on Spock's burial torpedo started to grow into inside the light! The panel on the bath was also cracked, but covered up by a towel!

The room rate was £150, I'm glad it wasn't my own money that paid for it. I felt sadly disappointed....

We stayed for a friends wedding in April and were horrified at the state of rooms, bearing in mind it costs a small fortune to stay here! Dirty linen and unhelpful staff - very poor! I would not recommend this hotel to ANYONE - save your money and stay elsewhere!

I held a meeting here for 2 days. The setting was fantastic. Staff very helpful, nothing was too much trouble, meeting room great. All of the food we ate here was really really good. We had freshly baked cookies in the meeting which were divine. Car parking really good. The hotel is very nice inside with some great original features. My room was a little tired but very clean. I wouldn't hesitate in booking this venue again for a meeting or for a weekend break away.
