Fawsley Hall Hotel & Spa

If you want a special afternoon tea, it has to be here. The service was so warm and relaxed too. Two tiny things, the chicken sandwich was too salty. And the scones (warm, light, everything you want) would have been even better if the accompanying cream had been clotted. Well worth the money overall though. The chocolate mousse was light as air.

We stayed here for 2 nights and from the moment we arrived, the hotel is stunning, the reception staff are welcoming and friendly. Our room was beautiful. The bathroom was very clean with white towels and included both a bath and a shower. The hotel is in a wonderful setting with 2 lakes, tennis courts and gardens to explore. The flowers and the landscaping are beautiful which makes the hotel very grand. I would highly recommend staying here. The evening dinner included a £80 voucher which we used on the first night and chose to have the 5 course taster menu, which was just lovely. The hotel has so much history. The best course has to be the chocolate dessert which was very rich, but very tasty. I would highly recommend staying here if you want peace and quiet in stunning grounds.

Warm greeting on arrival - well priced drinks and lunch options whilst the room was readied. The Spa is fantastic - great pool, sauna, steam room, herbal heat and Himalayan Salt rooms. Outside chill area and courtyard Jacuzzi are lovely. The room are clean and comfortable. The communal areas breath history. The best bit was the tasting menu with wine flight - Peter the sommelier was a lovely guy - really listens to his customers and was a pleasure to speak to. All waiting staff were lovely and the chefs are out of this world. There is also a 13th Century church on site an ample grounds for a good walk

came here for afternoon tea. The price is on the higher side, but I felt it was worth it because the place is so beautiful. The scones were really delicious, the cakes were quite good too. But sandwiches a bit small and thin for my liking. The service was great, and overall I really enjoyed the experience.

From the moment we arrived at the beautiful Fawsley Hall, we were greeted by warm and welcoming smiles and flawless hospitality. The smell of the fresh flowers filled the reception area. After check in we entered our room, which took our breath away. |Our stay was for a five day relaxation break. Lazy mornings, plentiful and delicious breakfast, walks in the grounds and to local pubs, lounging in the stunning spa to dinner of an evening. All staff were charming and friendly. |The hotel itself presented spotlessly clean, maintenance and grounds were faultless. |An amazing wonderful experience just what we needed. Would highly recommend. We’re already planning our next Hand Picked staycation. Thank you to all at Fawsley Hall.

We had a wonderful afternoon tea for my mums 41st birthday .. the food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. The staff were so friendly and attentive, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Stayed for two nights after our wedding. Lovely room, clean and staff were really helpful. The main Tudor hall is impressive, breakfast was varied and well laid out. Loved the spa especially, helpful staff, clean and most importantly very relaxing.

Stayed here for 1 night, 20th September. We were leaving early so having paid for breakfast was offered a breakfast box as we would be leaving before the main breakfast opened which we accepted. No sign of the breakfast box the following morning, apparently no message was left so nothing was prepared so we went without. I was carrying all the bags out, the chap watched my wife struggle to open the door then walked over to hold it as she had opened it. Just a genuinely average experience (despite being a very above average cost).

Booked in to the Cedar Restaurant for Sunday lunch. The surroundings are amazing, great place for weddings, afternoon tea, etc. Food was good - not amazing, but 2 courses for two and change from £50 is OK by me. Only down point, was referred to as "You Guys"!!! Come on!!! Really??? Update Easter Sunday '18 Went back and couldn't fault it. Service impeccable. Previous casual waiter not to be seen. Upgrade to 5*.

Fawsley Hall Hotel is lovely. We stayed in Room 4 for our first wedding anniversary and we had a fabulous time. This hotel is one of the 'Handpicked Hotels' collection of hotels. We've stayed in Rhinefield House Hotel in the New Forest, so I get email deals from them with special offers. We hadn't made any plans for our anniversary and an email popped up in my inbox offering a discount and a breakfast and dinner deal, so I booked. We got a double deluxe room, breakfast, and a 3-course meal included. I received a phone call a few days before our arrival to confirm the details and I was asked if we were celebrating a special occasion, which we were, so the lady on the phone put this on the computer, which was nice. When we arrived to check in (15:00) we were very warmly welcomed and congratulated on our anniversary, which was a nice touch. Our luggage was taken to our room (up a couple of stairs) and we were shown to a very pretty room, with a nice view of the lake (and sheep). We had an uber big bed, a writing desk, some armchairs, a huge TV, a bath, shower, beautiful citrus scented toiletries, tea/coffee/hot chocolate making facilities, minibar with free water and milk, and nice fluffy towels. After checking in we checked out the hotel bar, looking for a pot of tea. We decided in the end to get some virgin cocktails, because they looked to tasty. The hotel let you charge things to the room, so the process was super easy. The bar was well stocked with family games, so we had a few rounds of a memory game, along with our free glasses of 'welcome sparkling wine'. I noticed in the room guide that they have a cinema on site, which was a really exciting thought, so we moved our dinner reservation forward a couple of hours (which was really easy and the staff were really accommodating) so that we could make the 21:30 showing of The Woman in Black. The cinema was lovely; 28 seats (proper cinema seats) and we were allowed to take a drink in from the bar. We were the only people in the cinema, which was nice. A member of staff showed us how to use the volume controls and left us to it. Our food was great - we had a 3 course meal deal with our room, so we had to pick from a set menu (there was the option when I booked to upgrade to a la carte, but I quite having to choose from a set menu sometimes). We had pickled mackerel and chicken liver parfait with brioche toast for starters and for mains we had roasted belly pork (10/10) and corn fed chicken with garlic mash (07/10). For dessert we had lemon posset and toffee panna cotta. Our desserts were kindly rushed through so that we could go to the cinema on time, which was really nice. When we went back to our room we found that we had been left a fruit bowl, a wonderful handwritten card, and a box of beautiful truffles as a gift for our anniversary, which was really appreciated. It's these touches that made our stay really special. Our room had both a bath and a waterfall shower, which was great. I could have showered for hours. The only problem being that the shower was really small (in a corner), but it didn't stop me enjoying it. One of the things that we loved about our room was that it was really quite. We heard no noise from anywhere else in the hotel. There wasn't even the usual humming/clicking/banging noises that you get in hotel rooms; it was silent. We had a continental breakfast included in our deal, so we got some lovely things delivered to our room - a full english breakfast, fresh coffee, orange juice, and croissants. Everything was perfect. There are also full spa facilities, which we didn't use. They also offer a 'yoga bag' and 'gym bag' for working out in your room - these services are complementary. The surrounding are beautiful - there are lakes, sheep, wildflowers, and trees. The house is surrounded by 2,000 acres of land. Top bits: The staff - so, so friendly and welcoming. The tea/coffee/hot chocolate/biscuit selection in the room. Breakfast. Sherbert lemons in reception. Nice chocolates. Really comfy beds. Games in the bar. FREE CINEMA. USB phone charger socket. Bluetooth music facility. The food. Free WIFI. Not so great bits: Paying £3 to get room service. Paying 100% service charge on soft drinks with our dinner. Bathroom was a bit odd - the toilet was hard to flush, the shower tiny, and the door hit the toilet every time you let it go. (All of these things are not terrible - just little things and did not make our stay any less enjoyable).

A lovely, slightly hidden country side hotel close to Northampton. Bedrooms are nice and spacious and there are a host of facilities available to guests. The hotel has two restaurants: The more elegant Equilibrium and the less formal Bess's Brasserie. We dined at Equilibrium, and the food and service was excellent. The food was modern European with many unusual but nice touches to the meal. A perfect place for a nice getway or romantic weekend break. Only downside to the hotel is that some of the staff seem slightly aloof rather than attentive at times.

Renovated hundreds year old home. Tea, freeze dried Nescafé in room. One USB outlet didn't work. Sink and shower faucet leaking. Not repaired during stay. Loaner umbrellas. Very good speed unsecured WiFi. Large, traditionally decorated lounge rooms attached to restaurant and bar area. Restaurant staff work diligently and with care but with some confusion and appear understaffed and overworked. Food is generally above average. Deep fried from- frozen foods and canned foods for breakfast. Poached eggs and toast nicely done. Espresso well above average for middle England. A few vegetarian breakfast choices. Nearby is a stately church dating back to at least 1500, open to the public. Lovely river runs next to grounds. Plenty of sheep in the surrounding beautiful fields. Our electronic card key rarely worked and caused numerous unexpected delays including a wait of about 45 minutes to enter our room and never a concession was offered.

My friend and myself visited fawsley hall for a spa day for our 30th Birthdays. We had a great day enjoying the spa facilities, back, neck and shoulder massage and also champagne afternoon tea. The spa staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel has a beautiful setting and I will more than likely be returning in the future.

Very nice old country estate. Just right for a romantic weekend
