It is a beautiful hotel. Just a couple of small things, it needs a bit of TLC with cleaning but appreciate it’s a very old building, shutters to outside windows didn’t meet but I didn’t mind the fresh air. The shower wasn’t very powerful again only a minor thing and despite booking a double bed it was two pushed together, again for the price it was perfectly acceptable and not a major deal and we will definitely be back again. The breakfast was 5*

I’m afraid our stay was not what we expected. The room was unclean despite not being available until 15 minutes after the book in time. The room was in need of a refurbishment. There was a warning in the bathroom stating the bath mat must be used but there wasn’t one. I asked at the desk for one and the receptionist said she would send one up to the room. This didn’t happen so we had to shower without. We were kept awake through the night by the sounds of other guests in the room next to us and above us having sexual relations. Overall a disappointing stay and will not be returning.

Some of the breakfast staff were a bit cold in their approach to telling us what was on offer for breakfast. The staff behind reception were great, very nice and accommodating. Room was okay, bath tiles could do with a change, was a bit old and dirty. Otherwise everything else was fine.

In desperate need of renovation. Room was out dated and cleanliness was questionable. Lovely staff trying their best under impossible circumstances to keep the guests happy.

Whately Hall Stay during Cropredy 2024
I greatly enjoyed my stay at Whately Hall. The staff were always friendly and helpful. The room and the common spaces were clean. The elevator/lift worked. The room was not at all expensive, and the food was top notch -- restaurant quality. It's basically across the street from the town center on High St., within walking distance of the bus center and the train (which is a bit further out). It's also directly across the street from the taxi cab car park.

Cropredy done in comfort.
I arrived to find an historic building, with wood panelling, broad wooden railed staircase & a warm welcome. A very decent evening meal was booked, eaten in a well kept, stepped garden. The service was excellent. I new my stay was going to be enjoyed, & it was. Hopefully back next year for the Cropredy music festival. I will stay at the Hall, if available.

Very tired
To start with the good points Staff were helpful and Friendly, The bed linen was clean and fresh, the location was perfect. However, the hotel itself was very tired, tape on the carpets covering holes, stains on the carpets in the bedroom and lounge areas, black fungus in the shower making it unusable, corridor doors banging all night due to no cushioning. Whilst we accept to put things right would cost a lot of money some of the fundamentals need to be addressed urgently to make a stay inviting

Seen better days, like the 1900's
Check in was lovely, nice old building but it just went down hill from there. Everywhere was grubby and tired. Not seen a duster, let alone a cleaner. Bed sheets were clean but not much else. TV didn't work, view would have been nice if you didn't have look through a mosaic of grime to see anything. It wasn't even cheap, I would have been offended paying half the price.
