We stayed at the Sopwell House for our anniversary. Although our room was not ready on time, this was put right with complimentary drinks in the bar. The hotel was busy with a big wedding going on , but after the initial checking in process, the hotel still seemed private and quite. There are lots of places to hide away... More

As an ex hotelier I am rarely overly impressed when travelling but after choosing to celebrate a family occasion at Sopwell house we booked a Mews room and throughly enjoyed the facilities.. The experience surpassed my expectation and the staff could not do enough from booking with reservations to the excellent F&B staff. Check in was simple and easy, the... More

Luxurious hotel, but staff not particularly friendly or helpful, rooms are big and recently refurbished, no mini bar and sky TV didnt cover films. Gardens are extensive and well maintained. Overall an impressive place to stay, shame about the staff.

Have just returned from a fabulous weekend at Sopwell House, from start to finish we had a fantastic time. The room, the food, the service, the staff - all superb. We enjoyed a dip in the pool, the leisure facilities are first class and again the lovely spa staff couldn't be more helpful. Breakfast was lovely, there was a wide... More

A great spa break. We had a superior room, it was lovely and I think newly decorated. Staff were really helpful and even managed to fit my other half in for his massage after we were late and got times wrong. Food was very good. All in all really good value.

I was impressed by this hotel - stayed here for a night for a conference. I was in a standard room and it large and had a nice view of the garden. Iron in the bedroom - no minibar so you need to get some water from the bar or rbing some with you. There are Tea and Coffee facilities... More

Stayed for one night. The hotel is lovely and the food is good BUT there are room defects. I was told I had a superior room, however the curtains let in loads of light at top as there is a gap between rail and curtains, so was woken at around 4.30am. This was not so bad as it took around... More

We attended a wedding at this hotel in late April and overall had a good time there. I'm not certain but I probably wouldn't visit as a guest: it's very geared towards weddings, banquets, and... troops of women in white bathrobes visiting the spa ;-) Having said that, our wedding meal was consumed almost concurrently with a large charity banquet...

Second time I've stayed here, it's a fantastic location, out the way but also close enough to London. I stayed in one of the apartments rather than the main hotel. Very clean tidy and in great condition. Split into lounge/ kitchen including microwave, coking rings, fridge sink etc, lounge suite tv etc. the bedroom was tasteful and of good quality.... More

The most beautiful flowers ,plants and gardens; the ambiance of the hotel; the funishings are so tasteful and when we opened the bedroom door we have never seen such a magnificent room. Even the trees out side at night, which were floodight, were so lovely that we took a photograph.... More
