The hotel was neat and tidy, staff very friendly. Although the pool was well maintained and deigned very well, I was disappoint with the hot tub being a part of the pool and cold. The room was clean and beds were comfy. Although we didn't dine in the evening there, the full English breakfast was delicious.

Sold online as “luxury stay, superior room” . Room ok, nothing luxurious. Dated worn decor, dated bathroom with water damage, dirty shower. Bed very uncomfortable ( maybe personal choice but found it very hard) woken by staff recycling bottles around 11pm, woken again at 6am and 7am by delivery/bin people. Breakfast was good, evening meal average and expensive £5 for a small bowl of chips. Spa is ok but again tired, pool was freezing! Generally pool area ,sauna and steam room felt unloved and grubby. Beautiful grounds and gardens. Left early and cancelled our spa treatments as just felt we’d had enough and didn’t want a cold swim again! Overall not what we’d expected from the website details, very disappointing

Stayed for a works trip - the hotel was passable. I felt the room looked tired (paint peeling in bathroom, outdated wallpaper etc) and the shower floor was unclean, the room phone did not work. My bed consisted of two singles pushed together, but there was a gap and level difference in the middle. Inconvenient for women was that the mirror was not near any plugs for hair tools. However, the staff were polite & attentive, the spa was lovely as was the breakfast.

Good size carpark Warm friendly check in, all information given. Stairs to the room took a while to find because I didn't see the sign! Once in a little compact to move about in, shower room was ok. Bed was super comfortable WiFi ok The shower was good Breakfast is not included but can be added if wanted. Evening meal was good Reasonable price and good choices on the menu. Hotel has some lovely gardens set around it . The location is on the outskirts of the city but there are some lovely walks close by. Would stay again if in the area.

The pool in the spa was freezing cold. It says a lot when there's more people out of the pool than in the pool. The staff on reception where extremely rude. She asked me to pay even though I had already paid, she booked 1 person in for breakfast when they where two of us staying in a doubke room. Not very approachable or friendly seen as though she is front of house. I waited 10 minutes at the bar to get a drink as there was no one serving so I had to go and find someone. Not very good if you ask me.

Average
Warm welcome from the reception team, great first impression. Bedroom was a bit tired, curtains hanging off the rails and some damp stain and wallpaper coming away in the corners, a bulb out on arrival in the room. Obviously housekeeping manager not checking rooms after they have been serviced. Great bar, restaurant and spa staff. coming down for breakfast at the later time of 9.30am, appeared to be a lack of replenishment of the breakfast area, no pastries, chopped fruit bowl empty, orange juice ran out.

Great Hotel
Great customer service delivery from reception and bar staff. Room was to a high standard. Disappointed with the food from the bar. I ordered a burger which on the menu included a tomato salad. When it came out no salad but shavings of cucumber, so asked for another one. But made to feel I was in the wrong for pointing this out, when really it was the chefs issue poor checks and balances before food left the kitchen.

Rowton Hall is set in a quiet area within some lovely grounds. The rooms are spacious but very hot and uncomfortable due to the temperature. Little ventilation due to the windows only being able to open slightly. There was no airconditioning only a fan. The hot water in the bathroom was boiling hot and care had to be taken when using it. My kettle didnt work in my room which I didnt discover until the morning. The veiw from my window was awful. The hotel needs some updating especially in the corridors leading to the rooms. I was looking forward to my stay but overall I was dissapointed with my room.
