Reviews of De Vere Wokefield Estate 4 stars

I had booked in a deluxe room with view, however I was given a room on the ground floor with the view of a road with barriers. This is hardly a view that they had promised on their website.

The room was very hot and had no AC. There is no water bottle for customers. And they don’t provide water bottle when requested, however they sell refillable water bottle which you will have to buy to fill up with water. When I first went to the property, all the fire doors were left open which is hardly a secured site anyone could have come into the building which I found very poor in terms of security.

The rooms were comfortable and the hotel itself had a good atmosphere.

Staff seemed to not know much about the hotel. We were asked to get out the pool after being in it for 20mins for routine cleaning which would last 30mins…. So we either had to sit in the tiny changing room for the time or give up and get dressed.

Breakfast was ok.coffee machine unreliable.

The bathroom lacked some storage space for toiletries. The shampoo dispensers were difficult to manage. Temperature of shower water difficult to control. The leisure facilities were out of order so unable to use.

The choice of food & drinks on offer at breakfast.

Cutlery, crockery & glassware were grubby. Tablecloth was dirty.

Everything about this hotel is amazing. Alex and taj or reception were fantastic and made our stay amazing. The gym and pool was fantastic and the breakfast was very nice. Would recommend this hotel as well had the best time. Thanks again for everything Michael

Nothing

Clean, spacious, staff are friendly.

We found this hotel last minute for a weekend getaway from London with my partner, and it turned out to be a wonderful choice. The place is amazing—very quiet, surrounded by nature, and perfect for relaxing. The staff were also excellent .

Everything. Staff are very friendly and polite

We have previously stayed in the mansion house at the DeVere, and it was fantastic hence why we came back. This thought we chose a room in Wokefield place as it was ground floor with patio doors and described as having a view . This room was separate to mansion house. Beautifully decorated, room was clean and well set up, lovely surprise in our room when we arrived being the guest of the day, so we had some biscuits and chocolate as a gift. Welcoming staff, we requested via booking.com to have a late check out which the property noted down and allowed us to have with no problem. In the reception area there is a kids table with free arts and crafts and free cereal bars. They have a pantry where you can purchase drinks, snacks , chargers and lots of other items . You can rent umbrellas in the door way via contactless card payment . .

The only issue we had with our ground floor room was that it was described as being a room with a view , which you can see the golf course however, the room did open up into the car park . I assumed you would face somewhere a bit more private. As a result we had the curtains pulled the majority of the time for privacy. The doors also had a big gap at the top, this was because on of the double doors didn’t actually close properly, however with the other door closed and locked it was fine. Could make the room very cold in winter though. Breakfast was nice, however a little unorganised we weren’t told where we were allowed to sit, and so didn’t know where to go, we couldn’t find any plates and had to ask to get some. The selection of food was great though and even for children there was frubes, baby bels, yoghurts, cheese and lots of kids choices .

Beautiful location. Good food. Wonderful staff. So dog friendly! Super comfy beds

It’s very tired and there were no hairdryers.

Grounds were lovely. Convenient for our purposes.

Not only was our room dirty but all the common areas too especially the pool area. Staff were not great at all which is so disappointing - surly, unhelpful, unapproachable. Food was average.

Nice lobby, great breakfast, lots of parking spaces, good swimming pool

It is a beautiful place to stay. The surroundings are gorgeous and the rooms were very clean and comfortable. I love the little dog bed and bowls. The staff were exceptional and go above and beyond to make you feel looked after.10/10

Before I begin I want to make it clear that it is not the hotel or staff that I am unhappy with. More whoever books meets at the hotel. This was clearly going to take over 90% of the hotel for the entire weekend. There is no way general public wanting a spa hotel should be able to book during an event such as this. This is greedy and selfish. The hotel is sold as though it is a high calibre golf & spa hotel. No way would anyone have been able to enjoy a relaxing weekend 22-25th August. Had I known I would have definitely booked elsewhere. I arrived during a congregation/festival type thing and it was so congested in the reception that it was impossible to pass through into the bar or restaurant. I had to wait for 40 mins just to check in. I finally got checked in an hour later than planned and headed to the restaurant. It was disgustingly busy and there was over an hour wait for food and no where to sit. I went for a long walk with the dog and unfortunately when I got back at 6pm it was still busy. I decided to go for a swim/sauna to try and escape the chaos. When I got into the pool it was more like a soft play for kids with balls and inflatables everywhere. I couldn’t get into the small packed changing room. After the swim teacher had finished his lesson I asked that he leave the rope so I could try and swim lengths but within 5 mins the kids had taken over the lane too. I went into the sauna knowing at least in there the noise would be drowned out. At this point desperate for some peace. When I sat my goggles down I accidentally dropped my locker key. I looked under the bench and physically gagged. There was half an inch of brown sludge all over the floor. I have never seen anything like it. With no pool brush in site, The wonderful swim teacher helped me carry the rescue pole into the sauna as going under there was out of the question. We had to carefully fish out the key.

The vast estate was beautiful to walk around and peaceful

This is a nice hotel for conference, seminars, weddings and if you are into golf. Rooms and ground were clean. Breakfast was ok if you like English breakfast but nothing special. Staff was accommodating.

There isn’t much to do for kids besides a small playground and you’ll need a car if you stay at this hotel and plan to go out. The family rooms are away from the main building.

Beautiful setting and set out of reception

Swimming pool accessed by the bar. Surely an adaption could be made. Not many people would want to walk through the bar to the pool.

Property was better than expected and room was very large.

Needed a car

Bedrooms very clean and comfortable

Waking up on a Sunday to lots of people in the lobby
