We had a lovely stay but unfortunately the room was very small and very hot with no aircon. A fan was provided but wasn’t enough to cool the room down and I hardly slept due to this. Apart from that it is a lovely building and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Unimpressed
Asked for a quiet room-we were given a room which overlooked the gravel driveway entrance to the reception.Footfall and cars driving was very noisy. People leaving and arriving made it very noisy-even at 2am. The room had no A/C and the one window could only be opened 6inches.

I spent one night at Down Hall hotel and the next morning I used the spa. I did 2 treatments and they were very well done, I loved every minute. The staff was very friendly throughout the hotel. The beautiful nature and the open space was a treat. The bed cozy and comfortable. I definitely recommend it.

A huge disappointment
Unfortunately the 2 rooms we were allocated were dark and small so we asked to move rooms (as this was a special birthday celebration), but were allocated larger rooms with very tired decor -and a take it or leave it attitude with no compassion from the duty manager whatsoever. Feel totally ripped off and extremely disappointed. Definitely not worth the money.

Another fantastic stay
This was our second stay at Down Hall, as it's a perfect start of the holiday if you have an early flight from Stanstead the following day. The hotel is wonderful and the food at the restaurant amazing. All staff were professional and friendly, in particular the manager was extremely kind and helpful.
