The Wood Norton

Wood Norton just ok

The hotel is in a great location and a beautiful building.
Rooms were not cleaned to the high standards expected, especially considering we are still in a COVID situation.
Restaurant good and food good but not good value for money, portions small and expensive
All in all just an ok hotel

ok stay

The room - luxury hall feature room was impressive on first sight huge comfy bed and wood panelled walls but was let down by grey modern wardrobe and chest of draws etc - flat pack special? There were few and far between power points of which one looked decidedly unusable. There was also a constant loud hum in the room which made sleeping impossible for a light sleeper -me. Was temped to sleep in the bath as the adjoining bathroom was luxurious, warm and blissfully quiet! When i mentioned to the reception the loud hum was told that It was to be expected in a hotel of that age!!
I have stayed in MANY hotels of all ages and know that is not the case. I believe it was actually the aircon making the noise? Let me know in advance and I'd have the choice to book - or not! We went to the bar for an early drink before our meal and had to wait an age to be served as the bar person was also the receptionist who was torn between two jobs. The food was good despite the limited menu, we would have appreciated being able to choose from the bar menu too for the evening meal to add variety but that was not allowed. Breakfast - there very few tables occupied when we went for breakfast and on the first morning the breakfast was enjoyable apart from forgetting my husbands 'eggs Florentine' , the second morning only four tables were occupied and we had to wait an age for our breakfast - porridge and eggs benedict. I know good food takes time but this was unreasonable during a quiet time. On the whole I would say the hotel would be a fantastic wedding/conference venue but not sure I'd recommend just for a short break? This is my honest opinion of our stay.
