Disliked: Staff & service
Loved the aesthetics of this property, however there were several aspects that were disappointing. One room was only ready for check in at 4.30pm so we had to wait around. The room had a leak of the floor, no water pressure in the shower and the hair dryer was not working. The key was also faulty, which forced me to go down to reception around 4-5 times to get this fixed. This was all flagged to reception and the only solution provided that “we will call the maintenance guy”. The fact that the spa facilities are only available till 11am and the service is so strict about this was super inconvenient and unfriendly provided the check in was also so late. My massage experience also felt rushed. There were no solutions or flex provided for anything that was flagged, which deflated the whole experience. Disappointing especially for the amount we paid for the night.

Great stay overall
This was my second stay at Sopwell House and I enjoyed it as much as the first time. The decor and cleanliness were outstanding. We loved the spa facilities and the food in the restaurant - delicious! However, we were surprised to find ourselves locked out of our room when we got back to our room after breakfast on checkout day. It was just after 11am and we felt this was a bit heavy handed. Also, unlike during my first visit, I was unable to get a plus size robe which would have been more comfortable for me.
