If you wanted to eat elsewhere you needed to use the car.

Beautiful grounds. Good facilities. Great bar, excellent food in the restaurant and a comfortable lounge to chill out in. Staff welcoming and friendly. Would highly recommend this hotel.

The bedroom was a little tired and access was up a number of stairs but we realised that this was due to being a historic building with no lifts.

we could not fault the price, staff, facilities and location.

The only issue with the hotel was that we were on the fourth floor, and there was no lift. While we are able to walk the stairs, my oarebts who visited us while we were staying found it difficult. Unsure if age and ability is considered by the hotel when issuing rooms.

The staff were wonderful, and the hotel was clean, tidy, and had lovely communal spaces. Our room was well equipped, and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. The breakfast and the service was very good, and the view from the dining room, lovely. Parking was great and the hotel location, while in a beautiful country area, was within easy access to all major amenities. It was like a country holiday with all the benefits of a city.

Rooms were far too hot and the a/c was not very good. Only realised there was a fan in the morning on top of the wardrobe. Bit disappointed there was a pool but no water in it, because its too expensive to run 😟

Staff were lovely and friendly, from check in at reception, bar staff, restaurant staff and check out staff. Great location and very clean throughout.

Getting to the property. Roads incredibly narrow. Would put me off staying again

Great venue and very nice staff

The sandwiches, very poor filling on very cheap bread with a side of salad that had seen better days. Not as advertised or what you’d expect from a hotel.

For the price you pay you would think that breakfast would be including. the rooms we stayed on was on the top floor which was a challenge carrying luggage (credit to the staff/ladies who did offer) The hotel tv's are outdated and don't offer smart tv.

Bowden hall is a beautiful building, with many rooms. situated in a lovely location. just off a bus route into city centre (we walked in 45mins* and bussed back) The room was a good size with a nice bath. comfortable bed. would recommend this stay!

The property has quite a large about of cosmetic damages, damage to walls and ceiling. Paint work wasn’t fresh, and the bathroom is quite outdated, the whole inside of the hotel isn’t very modern it’s more old fashioned which doesn’t suit the cost.

It’s in a nice location, the room was spacious.

bedroom out dated, need up grade and air con

The grounds and view

Stayed in June 2023

The hotel definitely needs updating with the decor, although beautiful in the dining room and lounges. A very long walk to our rooms, and no lift. Reception area not very designed for welcoming guests, comparing with other hotels. Windows not clean in our room which was a shame as beautiful view of the gardens and pods. Our bath was abit chipped and radiator looked quite rusty. No soap in the dispenser by the sink. Although the room was lovely and spacious, hardly any hanging room for clothes and coat.

Location and staff very friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed the breakfast, good variety although quite pricey. Room was nice, clean and spacious with lovely outlook to the gardens.
