    A great location with a very well designed and newly renovated and extended historic building. Superb large room and excellent food- all together a wonderful hotel.

    My ‘Hive’ in the woods was certainly comfortable but a few additions IMO would make it worthy of the price tag. A luxurious indoor feature bath! A comfortable indoor seating area, there was only a chair and table. Maybe the gorgeous decor of the main house echoed in that of the Hives. There were handprints on the glass windows, empty shower cap box and a toothpaste splodge in the bathroom when I arrived, apart from that it was clean 🤔 However it is still most pleasant and I enjoyed my stay and I would still massively recommend this hotel. An enticing offer of B&B would be much appreciated

    The main house, dining room, assorted sitting rooms and coach house are beautiful. The level of service in the dining room was 10/10 when I was there. The food also was excellent, with a price tag to match no less. The setting is glorious and the treatments in the coach house were incredible

    We liked most things but did think more light was needed in the hives, it felt a bit dark at times!

    Callow Hall is a gorgeous historic property, the styling is immaculate and immediately creates a relaxing and welcoming environment. We decided to stay in one of the Hives and I’m so glad we did, Rosebay was situated in the middle of the woods next to the hotel and the views of the countryside and bluebells were beautiful and calming. The food and drink was also excellent. The staff were professional but laid back. We can’t recommend highly enough!

    The dinner was lovely however we was sat next to one of the windows and it was very cold and drafty. Abit expensive for what the food was.

    Hotel was amazing. Rooms were clean and staff were lovely.

    Breakfast items were individually priced - would have preferred a set price for a full breakfast.

    Very welcoming - lovely gentleman who showed us around and took us to our room, carrying our bags. Loved the eco and sustainability ethos of the hotel. Wonderful open fire in the check in area. Complimentary chocs went down well too. Beautifully decorated and great location. Lots of lovely welcoming touches.

    Nothing - it was stunning.

    It was a beautiful boutique hotel - we had a slight issue with the room to begin with, and it was sorted and they couldn’t do more to make it right throughout our entire stay. It surprised us actually how much they went out of their way to make it special for us. Couldn’t recommend this hotel more.

    Breakfast generally a little sub-par and somewhat expensive for what you got. Happy to spend on quality for supper but felt this let it down somewhat. Wasn’t told milk was available in a hidden fridge in the hallway.

    Every room a delight to the senses - visually the rooms were very tastefully decorated throughout the hotel (particularly liked the array of rooms downstairs with fires, available for mingling privately prior to supper) and each smelled incredible. The hallway as you enter the hotel instantly sets the scene for an escape to luxury and relaxation. Especially liked the two chairs by the full length window as you climb the stairs - fabulous.

    The options on TV were not enough. Given, around 500 pounds is charged per night the TV could be provided with Netflix, Prime etc.

    We booked the hive and it was lovely. If you like a quite holiday within nature, this is the place for you! The view from the room and terrace was lovely. Each hive is given their own mini Christmas tree! The hive has a small kitchenette which was also very handy. We were also provided with a nespresso machine, some crisps and some biscuits, which was a nice touch. There was also a mini radio which was lovely.

    The carpark was disgusting and muddy, not what you expect from such a prestigious establishment and needs attention. You also need more car parking when you have large lunch events like you had Thursday, can I suggest you organize something off-site and bus guests in.

    Location and friendliness and attention of staff which made my wife on her 70th birthday celebration feel special.

    We would suggest that 10.30 breakfast finish on a Sunday could be extended to 11.00 - this appears to be fairly standard

    Fantastic venue and location. Stayed in a hive and it was very cosy and warm even in November. You can barely hear anything other than the odd owl hooting! The buggy service from the main building to the hive is a great touch and all the staff were very professional and polite.
