Lord Haldon Country Hotel,Sure Hotel Collection B

A beautiful hotel in a stunning location. We had breakfast and evening meals and we were not disappointed . Staff were very friendly and polite. Our room exceeded our expectations and had a lovely view. We will definitely be returning! A lovely break in our busy lives !

Hidden gem in the country great value for the money paid. excellent food lovely grounds perfect for the doggies staff were very attentive plenty of parking nice drive through the forest to get to hotel the bed was very comfortable and very clean

This “function” was a staff Christmas party. As I wasn’t the organiser I won’t comment on the fact that the location advertised the Christmas event with music including DJ etc and then later withdrew that offer due to lack of numbers etc. but the meal……oh my goodness, how embarrassing. The starter and the dessert were okayish, I mean we all know you often get ripped off on starters and desserts right, they are rarely worth the £6 ish you spend on them, but the main course has to be right. The meal cost £32.50 (advertised with a DJ etc which never happened), the main course options were beef, turkey, nut roast, sea bass etc….the vegetables, 3 sprouts, half a carrot, 1 tiny parsnip (little finger size) 3 roast potatoes (not crispy), and gravy….the plate was pretty much empty…was a joke! What I find hard to understand is the fact that the head chef I assume approved these plates to be sent out!!?? Should be ashamed. Assuming around £7 for starter and again for dessert this leaves £18.50 for this main course….absolute joke!! We were all waiting for bowls of veg to arrive as the plates were empty!! No wonder the place was empty and the DJ was stood down. The staff on the night were nice enough and worked hard, but the head chef, not acceptable….

friendly and helpful staff, with a comfy and cosy room, set in lovely grounds with tremendous views, far away enough away from the city centre to feel part of the national park , but close enough to visit local towns and attractions, Breakfast was included and was very good , coupled with free internet and parking - perfect stay

_5 never ever would i stay here again,was our wedding night and had friends come down from up country and told them it was a great hotel,they only booked the bride in for £176 a night and to charge extra £45 for groom to stay on top,shower didn't even work in morning to freshen up after long day what a joke off a hotel?Stay Away

The hotel is set in grounds that have been adequately described in other reviews, the interior is rather impersonal and a bit run down but everything was clean and the staff were all friendly and helpful. But a particular mention must be given to the lady running the bar on the evening we were there who was an absolute delight and worked hard selling the hotel amenities . We did not dine but noted that the dining room was empty We decided to have breakfast and that, I’m afraid,is where things went wrong. The menu offered “Grilled kippers with poached eggs “ This turned out to be a single boil in the bag kipper fillet with two fairly solid poached eggs, not unpalatable but not what I expected. However my major beef was the behaviour of other guests with dogs .I don’t know what kind of pleb feels they can take dogs into a restaurant, or what misguided management allows them to do it but here we had the perfect confluence of three yappy mutts and their ineffectual owners entertaining the assembled eaters with a cacophony of barking interspersed with hopeless mewls of “stop it “ and “Quiet “ which were happily ignored. It’s a shame that an adequate stay should be spoiled by behaviour that , if it had been children, would not have been tolerated
