Bonnie L. Families - 7/25/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Beautiful estate, but terrible sleep due to room issues and noiseThe estate is beautiful with a lovely tailoring history, nice architecture, and comfortable beds. Breakfast was good, and the Day 2 staff were very sincere and friendly.However, our room assignments ruined our sleep. We were first given a room with only a skylight and no windows. The sun poured in at 4:00 AM, making the room hot and impossible to darken—not family-friendly at all.We moved to a second room above the pub, right at the main entrance. The main door constantly slammed, shaking the bunk bed where I slept. When the door noise finally stopped, a loud, banging air conditioner pump cycled on and off all night.These fixable room and noise issues heavily downgraded our experience. We might consider returning only if these problems are resolved.

Dear Bonnie, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beauty and history of the hotel, the comfortable beds, our breakfast, and the friendly service from our team. We are sincerely sorry that the room allocations and noise issues affected your stay and disrupted your sleep. Your comments regarding the room layout, early morning light, and noise from the entrance and air conditioning have been shared with the relevant teams for review and improvement. Thank you again for your valuable feedback. Kind regards, Thiru

Gill R. Couples - 7/22/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

We have stayed at this hotel numerous times over the last 20 years or so due to the great location, fabulous staff and lovely breakfasts. We were lucky to get a free upgrade on this occasion to a lovely, spacious room and dinner was superb. Unfortunately the breakfast experience wasn't so good. Gone were the coffee pots and plated breakfasts delivered to your table. Now it is a free-for-all for the coffee machine (which didn't deliver coffee half as good as the freshly made pots we were used to) and the buffet breakfast which wasn't the best either. There was a good range of continental options including pastries but the fruit bowl was unappetising with very overripe bananas and other sad looking fruit. This was very disappointing as we had always thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast experience at Hawkwell House over the years. It is our belief that part of a relaxing break is having a good breakfast experience with that personal touch so it would be wonderful if Hawkwell could revert back to table service.

Dear Gill, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback and for your continued loyalty to Hawkwell House over the past 20 years. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your upgraded room, dinner experience, our location, and the service provided by our team. It means a great deal to us that you have returned to stay with us so many times. We are sorry to hear that the changes to our breakfast service did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your comments regarding the coffee service, buffet experience, and fruit selection. Your feedback about the personal touch of table service has been shared with our Food and Beverage team for consideration, as we understand how important breakfast is to the overall guest experience. Thank you again for your valuable feedback and continued support. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back and providing the relaxing experience you have come to expect from Hawkwell House. Kind regards, Thiru
