Very nice looking building, is looking a bit tired inside in some areas, room was ok but does require some maintenance (bathroom door didn’t work properly, shower leaking and running under floor tiles which squeezed out every time you walked on them ) Bed very comfortable Would definitely stay again

Sad to see poor bathrooms in a stunning looking property - mould cracked tiles and dirty at bottom of toilet. Sad also that no fresh pastries one basket only and 2 more hours of service, staff shrugged shoulders and said that’s it. Unfortunate stay. Shane as reception and gardens beautiful.

The Whateley Hotel was extremely likeable, with just a few areas where it needs tidying ie re decoration touch up in bedroom and corridors, however workmen were seen painting etc. The bathroom was great with up to date white goods, broken sink plug chain though let it down, however extremely clean. The double bed was large and very comfortable. Good selection of tea, coffee and biscuits in room. Lovely view of garden from room 50, well kept garden. We enjoyed a nice meal in the Berkley Restaurant, friendly attentive staff. A very good buffet breakfast, ample choices, the pastries were very hard though. All staff in the hotel were friendly and accommodating. All in all a pleasant and enjoyable stay, and excellent value for money and would definitely stay again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was very dingy, carpets old and tattered, bathroom stained. The room smelled badly of smoke and marijuana. Staff said there were no other rooms to offer. This hotel is in desperate need of cleaning and renovation. They didn't replenish many breakfast items including the fruit and the pastries, and I did not care for the orange juice. Parking was limited in their car park.
