What a disappointment. We stayed for two nights to join friends who were staying there. Having previously stayed we knew the hotel. The room and location were very good. It was disappointing they did not o ffer any wine at dinner by the glass! Dinner was set set meal with no choice. The next day the breakfast we shared with our friends was slow service and the freshly cooked hot breakfast was cold. We returned to the hotel around four o clock to find neither of our rooms had been serviced! The next morning at breakfast two were cold. The managers apology was week blaming it on not having enough time off. We paid over three hundred pounds a night for very poor service. No compensation for there incompetence and would not return or recommend. The service we received at Dunstone next door was so much better and enjoyable.

My sister and I recently enjoyed a delightful 2-night stay at The Doolhof Boutique Hotel, and it was truly a memorable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and exceptional service that continued throughout our stay. The hotel’s location is stunning, surrounded by picturesque landscapes that create a serene and peaceful atmosphere. Our rooms were beautifully decorated, combining elegance with comfort. The attention to detail was impeccable, from the plush bedding to the thoughtfully selected amenities that enhanced our stay. We particularly enjoyed the hotel’s dining options. The breakfast was a highlight. The free wine tasting was absolutely fantastic! The staff at The Doolhof Boutique Hotel went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. Their friendly and attentive service made us feel genuinely valued as guests. We also appreciated the personalized touches, such as the welcome note and the staff’s helpful recommendations for local attractions and activities. Overall, our stay at The Doolhof Boutique Hotel was nothing short of exceptional. It was a perfect blend of luxury, tranquility, and outstanding service. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a unique and memorable getaway. We look forward to returning for another enchanting stay in the future. Thank you, The Doolhof Boutique Hotel, for a truly unforgettable experience.
