The Stanwick Hotel is in a rural location, but within a 15 minute drive of nearby towns and villages with food options if these are needed. The hotel had ample parking. Despite it being winter, I enjoyed having the grounds of the hotel to walk around after my journey. The hotel has a number of chalet type rooms outside the main building, side by side. The entrance was at ground level direct into the room, which I liked. I was able to walk straight out to my car on leaving the room. Only a few rooms appeared to be occupied during my stay, so it was quiet. My only issue with the room was that the key handle/lock appeared rather stiff, and some force needed to be used to raise the handle in order to lock it. The bed was comfortable, the heating worked well and the shower was nice and hot. Breakfast was ordered from a menu, with some self-serve items. Regards staff, an older gentlemen behind the bar wore an elf outfit (it was a week before Christmas), a gardener was maintaining flower beds (in winter), and reception staff were chatty and friendly. I thought all of these were nice touches and showed that care was taken to maintain the hotel and give customers a good experience. Good value for the price. I would stay again.

Sad to say, I am really disappointed for the second time, thus feel compelled to comment. Booked for today at 14:00, long in advance, paid £325 for a Sunday lunch 8 adults 2 infants, my 66 birthday. We were placed in the function room, felt completely isolated from the main bar and restaurant ambiance. No sooner arriving we were asked to sit down quickly and place orders for food. Plates after main course not cleared, didn’t get asked if we want a desert, and had to go get drinks from the bar ourselves. So headline is; all very rushed, end of shift syndrome, felt to be a nuisance rather than a customer. If 14:00 sittings are a problem, the hotel would be better off not taking them. Won’t book again or recommend. Sorry.

Just returned from a lovely two night stay at The Stanwick Hotel , the bedroom was beautiful and shower amazing . Sunday lunch was first class amazing Sirloin beef with all the trimmings and the breakfasts were freshly cooked to order were the best out of all the hotels i've stayed in . To sum up a great value hotel with very good food and one we shall return to .

Excellent short break. We stayed 2 nights and as we began I our stay on a Sunday were lucky to receive a very good rate The restaurant is superb with an exemplary Sunday lunch but the next morning breakfast was one of, if not the best, we have ever had at a hotel.
