Clean and spacious room, good breakfast, and good parking. Staff on the desk and at breakfast were very friendly and for the price the breakfast was good. We stayed in the older part of the property and loved the old features in the room so worth the extra cost

10/10 Exceptional

What was obviously a somewhat tired hotel in the not too distant past has had its rear and 'more modern' (compared to the original) accommodation thoroughly modernised to a very pleasingly high standard. The twin room we stayed in was comfortably spacious compared to other budget-medium price places we've stayed in, with all the amenities we needed and spotlessly clean. No noise at all with sounds from other guests above/below/or close by. Buffet breakfast (incl. cooked) was amazing - nothing wanting and good coffee. All the staff were amazingly helpful, nothing too much trouble and issues dealt with straight away. Windows can be opened a bit which we like for fresh air. We'll definitely be back. Thank you!

Brilliant old hotel with comfortable beds and a great breakfast. Would definitely return if I was needing somewhere in that area to stay.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Great Location. Nice facilities and gardens. There was a function room with an event happening and there was no noise in my room. However, the auto closers on the fire doors and the room doors meant there was a lot of slammed doors that were very loud.

Verified review

6/10 Good

Decent place for a quick one night stay while attending Silverstone. Breakfast was decent, garden, and few activities available. Room was okay. Flooring wasn't straight and although it says sleeps 4 with a sofa bed, it isn't a great option for more than 1 night to be honest. Staff was good and helpful. Tunnel to car park is awfully tight and requires some skill to not touch the walls

My only complaint is that I couldn't tell what all the switches were for - so inadvertently turned on the heated towel-rack on the hottest day of the year. Otherwise, great.

The staff were friendly and professional looking to make our stay comfortable. The room was a good size, clean and comfortable. There was a good selection for breakfast which was a great way to start the day. It’s a great place to stay and it had a car park for our hire car.

What a lovely old building. Loads of character and good outdoor seating area too. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice. I had to ask for soap dispensers to be filled. That should have been checked but they remedied it quickly. I would stay again.

10/10 Exceptional

The Whately Hall was even better than we expected. The room was large and airy with everything that we needed to make our stay comfortable. The evening meal was served by a very polite waitress for whom nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was self service with a choice of continental and a Full English Breakfast with a choice of how you wanted your eggs cooked. Or both if you had enough room. All the staff were exceptionally well mannered and it was clear that they were there to help whenever they were needed. Thank you, we really enjoyed our stay.

Great couple of nights here . Clean , well maintained room . Very good breakfast at reasonable price. Hotel good location , central to town centre.
Verified review

6/10 Good

The hotel was good overall, and the breakfast was lovely. You can tell that the hotel is currently being updated, which is great to see. The only disappointment was the cleanliness of the room. The carpet was visibly dirty and didn’t appear to have been hoovered, and there were also quite a few cobwebs around the room. With the hotel being updated, I think a little more attention to the cleanliness of the rooms would make a big difference. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but the room could definitely have been cleaner.

The hotel is dated in places but they do seem to be doing upgrades. The rooms are basic but have everything you need. The room did get a little hot at night so the fan provided was useful. The staff were amazing I cannot fault them in any way
