“Hotel and food great, spa disappointing”

Reviewed 13 May 2013

I was at the hotel as part of a package which was fantastic value - £75pp for champagne afternoon tea, use of the pool and facilities, 3 course dinner, accommodation and full English breakfast. I've stayed at the DVH before and always found it to be a really good hotel with attentive and professonal staff. The rooms are really spacious... More

“Excellent......”

Reviewed 11 May 2013

We stayed here for two nights, as part of the 'Bacchanalian Feast' package, so we would be close to Highclere Castle. We stayed in an Executive suite, which was very close to the spa, and allowed us to walk to the pool/spa in the dressing gowns which are provided in the suite. The spa and pool are excellent, as were... More

Dear SunHunter_1 Thank you for such a lovely review and I am so pleased to hear that my team managed to look after you and your family so well and that you enjoyed our facilities to their fullest. I do hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back in the none too distant future. Kind regards, Sally Russell More

“Lovely stay in Donnington Valley”

We chose to stay at the Donnington Valley Hotel so that we were close to Highclere Castle. Excellent location for visiting Highclere. Room was comfortable and cleanly appointed. Breakfast was not included in the cost. The elevator was out of service while we were there and the configuration of the floors is such that to reach our second floor room... More

Dear Lynn M, Thank you for choosing to stay at Donnington Valley whilst visiting Highclere Castle and I am delighted you had such a good break. Apologies that the lift was out of order, the problem is now fixed and if you are ever back staying again then just let us know if you have a preference for ground floors... More

Reviewed 8 May 2013

This is the second time we booked the Bacchanalian Feast package at the Donnington Valley Hotel & Spa Both or stays have been fantastic – we do not play golf but enjoy the pool and the Spa facilities the Donnington has to offer. The fine food at the Wine Press is of a high quality and the service of the... More

“Almost five stars...”

Reviewed 28 April 2013

We booked the Bacchanalian Feast package for my wife's birthday weekend and, were it not for a disappointing dinner on the first night, would not have hesitated to give five stars. On the second night it was like eating in a different restaurant, with the food living up to the two AA rosette billing. On the first night the food... More

Dear DB_n_JB, Almost five stars... we nearly made perfection! Thank you for reviewing us following your recent stay and it is wonderful to hear that you had a great stay, hopefully next time we will get the food right on both nights and get those precious five stars! I hope we can welcome you back soon. Kind regards, Sally Russell. More

“Good food and plenty of it”

Reviewed 24 April 2013

The restaurant has a very good, if limited, menu. The food is of a high quality as well. The hotel spa is clean and well presented, and the rooms are comfortable and well specified. There are plenty of thoughtful touches and attention to detail, and the beds are comfortable. The rooms would only be improved by doing away with the... More

“Let down by the staff”

Reviewed 22 April 2013

We stayed at the Donnington Valley hotel this last weekend. On arrival we were welcomed by a good check-in, but when we arrived at the room, we discovered a broken light (not a big issue), a broken, and dangerous kettle, and no fridge, which was included in the room description. Having brought food to cater for a special diet, when... More
