Some found the dinner pleasant enough, but a few guests had dreadful experiences with cold, incorrectly cooked or overcooked food, which had to be returned.

However, both dinner and breakfast were great for some. Despite some negative reviews, the hotel's food service received mixed feedback with some guests enjoying their meals while others experienced various issues that marred their experiences.

Rooms
The Welcombe Golf & Spa Hotel is a historic building set in beautiful grounds with some amazing views of the gardens. The rooms are generally comfortable with good sized rooms, huge comfortable beds and well-equipped facilities, such as USB points. However, the hotel and rooms are outdated and in need of refurbishment with carpets and wallpaper that are stained and worn and some furniture that is broken or tatty. Some rooms are also poorly labelled, dusty and unclean and occasionally smell of old tobacco and poor drainage. Some guests have reported issues with the heat with rooms being too hot and uncomfortable, while others have experienced unclean bathrooms that require updating. Despite these drawbacks, there are some phenomenal rooms available, such as the Elizabeth Suite and Jessica's Room, which are beautiful and spacious with huge bathrooms. Overall, the hotel provides good accommodation, but it is luck of the draw on the room allocated.

Beds
The Welcombe Golf & Spa Hotel is a beautiful, spacious and clean hotel that offers large rooms with comfortable and homely vibes. The beds in the hotel are solid and stiff, but also massive and incredibly comfortable. Guests have mentioned that they had the best sleep on their bed and it was one of the most comfortable hotel beds they have experienced. Some rooms have a beautiful dual aspect view with lovely four-poster king-sized beds, although some rooms might need updating and the mattress could do with renewing. In some cases, the sofa beds were uncomfortable and guests could feel the bed squeaking or creaking. However, overall, the experience at the Welcombe Hotel was lovely and the huge and comfortable beds allowed guests to have a comfortable stay.

Cleanliness
The cleanliness of The Welcombe Golf & Spa Hotel has received mixed reviews from guests. While some guests have described the hotel as clean and warm, others have labeled it as filthy and poorly cleaned. Guests have reported finding dirty towels, drug paraphernalia and hair in their rooms. They have also noted that the hotel's carpets are threadbare in places, the wallpaper is marked and peeling and there are stains on the walls and bathroom. Additionally, guests have pointed out that the hotel's spa is often overcrowded and dirty with green slime around the foot spa. Some guests have also mentioned that the hotel looks tired and in need of renovations and updating. However, there have been some positive reviews from guests who have praised the polite staff and the efforts of the cleaning crew, who have managed to keep some areas of the hotel clean. Overall, while the hotel's architecture is lovely, attention to detail and refurbishment could significantly improve guests' experiences.

From the brilliant and helpful staff to the fantastic team who make guests feel welcome, they are smart, polite and patient. Guests have recounted the staff going above and beyond, like Jean Luke, Leana and David and Gemma in the restaurant. However, there were instances where some staff appeared to be short-staffed, tired or stressed, resulting in dismissive attitudes, lack of attentiveness or poor service. Despite this, exceptional staff, outstanding service and accommodating and friendly employees are prevalent throughout the hotel.

Spa

The grounds spa and smashing facilities are a lovely treat, making a great add-on to the hotel. The spa itself is fantastic and excellent with friendly staff and stunning location. However, there are some negative comments, such as the spa not being a welcoming place or not fully functional, some areas being outdated or dirty, lockers not working and some water facilities not available. The disappointment of the spa being closed during the stay is also mentioned. Nevertheless, the spa and pool are generally nice and some guests enjoy treatments carried out to high standards. If you're considering staying at this hotel, make sure to check availability and opening times of the spa, as well as the condition of any particular equipment of interest.

Pool
The Welcombe Golf & Spa Hotel boasts a lovely swimming pool and spa, although some reviewers mentioned that the pool wasn't very warm and even a bit chilly during their stay. Families with children had to wait for the water aerobics session to finish before the kids could go in during the allotted morning session. Unfortunately, some guests experienced disappointment as the pool was out of action due to a chemical imbalance or broken outside pool. Lockers not working and not being able to swim because of the crowds were also mentioned. However, some visitors still thoroughly enjoyed the pool area and the superb facilities like the hot tub, gym and spa. Overall, it seems the pool experience at The Welcombe Golf & Spa Hotel depends on timing and maintenance.

Family
The Welcombe Golf & Spa Hotel offers a nice family break with plenty of variation for all family members. Children will enjoy the morning session in the pool from 10-12, while pets are also welcome to join the family getaway. For those looking to celebrate special occasions, the hotel can provide a special birthday treat for kids or adults, making it an excellent choice for joint birthdays. However, some guests noted issues with uncomfortable sofa beds and the lack of child-friendly amenities. Overall, the hotel rooms provide plenty of space for families but could benefit from extra pillows. It's a great place for adults heading to the Cheltenham Festival, but some may not find it to be advertised as family-friendly.

4 Star
The Welcombe Golf & Spa Hotel promises to deliver a luxurious four-star experience, but it doesn't quite hit the mark according to some guests. While the location is praised as lovely and the view is beautiful, the hotel is showing its age and is described as tired. However, the rooms are clean and generally comfortable. The breakfast buffet is well-variety and nice, but some guests expected more from the facilities and services of a premier hotel. Despite this, the staff are fantastic and offer a pleasant trip. Some guests particularly enjoyed their stay during the Cheltenham Festival for two days. All in all, it's a grand old hotel with good value in a good location; just some things let it down.

This fabulous old stately hotel is grand and impressive, making it a superb country house hotel. While some areas of the building may be in need of investment, it still boasts character and lovely features in the old parts. Guests have suggested information boards to learn more about the interesting history contained within the building, but the building's beauty alone is enough to make anyone fall in love with this grand old house. Overall, it's a wonderful hotel for those who appreciate history and magnificent architecture.
