Stayed here when we went to top gear live. Lovely old hall with nice bedrooms, excellent quality food, nice to sit and drink in the bar by the fire. Don't expect contemporary as its an old hall and is furnished as such.

Christmas at Wroxall has become a family tradition, and we were pleased to see that little has changed since last year - although sadly the snow wasn't there this time.

Our usual rooms had been refurbished, with flat screen TVs and decent wallpaper, but the wonderful food, friendly staff and atmosphere were the same as ever. There was the added bonus as Christmas Day fell on a Sunday of being able to walk across to the tiny cathedral for a lovely carol service.

The rooms, indeed the whole hotel, might not be to everyone's taste. but if you want bland, corporate, chain facilities there's a Holiday Inn ten minutes drive away in Solihull. I'll keep the unique charm of Wroxall, thank you.

On the outside Wroxall Abbey is a beautfiul historical building which gives you the impression you will be getting service of a high standard when staying here. The room we stayed in was 120 pounds. It was an extremely small room with a tiny en -suite bathroom. The room was really old fashioned and whilst I expected to have old decor it was not done in a tasteful way giving the room a cluttered feel. When staying in a 4* hotel I would expect to have a hairdryer in the room however, the only means of drying my hair was to use a useless attached hairdryer in the bathroom. The hairdryer was so poor I decided to just leave my hair wet. I got up to have breakfast at the hotel. Whilst the pastries and fruit were good the cooked breakfast was of poor quality and extremely over cooked. The drinks in the bar were over priced (11.70 for a beer and glass of wine). It is a real shame as I can see that this venue has potentially a lot to offer but needs updating and the service improving.

We stayed here for one night for a Wedding. The rooms were quite nice however cobwebs still hung in the bathroom, bed comfortable and decor old but nice. The staff were excellent and very welcoming and helpful. The bar staff although good were very slow and seemed to charge different prices for the same round. Breakfast was ok but seemed a little limited.
