I stayed at Whittlebury Park on 27-28 May 2026 (room 233), booked as a gifted voucher through Buyagift. There was no pre-arrival communication ahead of the stay. The room had no air conditioning during hot weather, which made it impossible to sleep properly and left me with a headache the next day. The shower control was faulty, and the hotel's own maintenance team later confirmed it was substandard. I was also charged for slippers and robe hire without any prior disclosure of these costs, and check-out involved a confusing double process. When I raised these issues formally, the hotel rejected the complaint at every stage. Classic British Hotels, the parent company, confirmed they had no operational responsibility and redirected me to Buyagift. Buyagift investigated on my behalf, but the venue rejected the complaint outright. Buyagift offered a £100 site voucher as goodwill, which I accepted, but this does not change my view of the stay itself. For a venue marketed as a four-star spa hotel, the standard of both the room and the complaint handling was well below what any guest should reasonably expect.

My sister and I booked an overnight spa break and it was perfect! Even before we arrived we had to change treatment times and this was done with no fuss at all. From check in to check out we were made to feel very welcome. The room was very spacious and spotlessly clean. We appreciated the goodies left for us, from popcorn to wine and plenty in between. The food was delicious and all the facilities were gorgeous and well maintained. We both agreed we had the best massage of our lives. This is definitely going to be an annual “sister break.” I am already looking forward to a good deal for next time!

After paying a high price for a room and an Xmas dinner and dance i expected much more. We recived a room in the Paddock which was cold and dirty. The bed was shabby with scuff marks on the bottom The shelf in the wardrobe had not been cleaned at all, i placed my bad there after taking it down to leave i had dust all over my clothes. The dinner and dance was over the golf club this was near on a kilometer away from the Paddock room. The disco was loud. The bass was to high you could not unerstand what he was saying. He played no slow songs. After requesting a song which i had to request a second time because it was not played after two hours. I was told to F##K off. The food was warm with the soup being so thin you could see the bottom of the bowl. Three half roast potatoes as meny brussel, half a carrot and a slice of turnip. More like a childs portion. No tooth picks. All IN All not worth the price Very dissapointed. I will not be returning.
