Spa trip
Everything amazing all the staff were well presented, friendly and helpful. The food was good and the spa treatments that my mum had she said was incredible. The spa was the cleanest i have seen in a hotel.
We will definitely go back.

Mediocre
The room was a good size, but decor was tired.
The bathroom was very old fashioned and not in good condition - cracked for tiles and missing towel rail.
The room was quite hot, possibly because it was above the spa/gym.
Surprisingly for a Spa hotel, there were no bathrobes.
The restaurant was good, food nicely prepared and a reasonable menu selection. However, it is costly - possibly taking unfair advantage of lack of local competition.

A Place to Relax
A really enjoyable 3 nt stay. The staff made us welcome, the 'superior' room was OK if not a little outdated, the dinners were excellent & the location perfect for local touring.

The hotel was meant to do breakfast till 11 o’clock on a Sunday because they had a wedding book. They finished at 10 o’clock with not telling any of the 93 people staying in the hotel so we had to go out and get food in the middle of nowhere.

We absolutely loved our two night stay at Flackley Ash Country House. The staff were very kind and hospitable but not overbearing. The facilities were lovely and the food was some of the best we've had in a long time. Highly recommend.

Bring earplugs!
We liked our stay, good amenities and lovely location but unfortunately the hotel was loud- from our room (22) we could hear people going up and down creaky stairs and slamming doors. There was quite a lot of loud voices and noise late at night and early morning meaning we didn't sleep that well.
We enjoyed the location of the hotel though and the room was clean and comfortable.

Had a great stay! Check-in was smooth, and checkout was just as easy. We stayed for one night, and the hotel staff were friendly and helpful throughout. While the rooms and amenities may benefit from a refresh, they were still in good condition. Overall, a pleasant experience, and I would definitely visit again!
Let me know if you’d like any further adjustments! 😊

Warm and welcoming.
Very clean. Friendly, helpful staff who went out of their way to help. Great food. Our room would benefit from refurbishment but the beds were really comfortable, it was spotlessly clean and the shower was great. Lots of parking. The public spaces were welcoming and comfortable and for warmer weather there was outdoor seating. We also went to the spa which was lovely. We're looking forward to a return visit, a very relaxing weekend. Thank you
