Great Memory for my daughters 30th
Wotton House Hotel, well what can I say, it wasn t the gorgeous building, the relaxing spa, the amazing food, the spacious rooms, the breathtaking views, the incredible value for money, or even the Christmas decorations to die for. What really made this place shine was the people. Every single member of the team worked together to make sure our stay was nothing short of perfect.
I booked a surprise 30th birthday evening with dinner and over night stay for my daughter Emma, and from the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond. There was prosecco and truffles waiting in the room, a celebratory glass of prosecco with dinner, and even a personalised birthday plate that made Emma feel so special. Every interaction was warm, genuine, and full of care from check-in to dining, to the bar service, and even the tireless staff armed with hoovers making sure everything stayed spotless.
I ve stayed in many hotels over the years, but never have I come across such a genuinely happy and helpful team. Wotton House isn t just a hotel it s an experience powered by people who clearly love what they do. Thank you all for making Emma s 30th (and our stay) truly unforgettable.
Great Staff
When we arrived we were delighted to see they had already decorated for Christmas and it looked wonderful.(Even had a little snow The first morning).The staff were friendly and welcoming. The room was nice and spacious however, it was very warm so the fan in the room was a good addition. The bathroom also nice and spacious however, the shower could do with been moved a little, as it would be awkward if you were tall. We had dinner in the restaurant on the first night which was brilliant. Staff were friendly and helpful and the food lovely. Again it was nicely decorated for Christmas. We had a few drinks in the bar both evenings and again the staff were great, even remembering our drinks on the second evening. The grounds were lovely, we only had a short walk around as the weather wasn't great, but imagine it would be even better in the warmer months. Overall a great stay and will definitely visit again.
