Hawkstone Park Hotel

“truly delightful experience”

A lovely place rich in history with helpful staff. The receptionist kindly volunteered to assist with my luggage, adding a personal touch. A great evening that made for a memorable and enjoyable stay. Would Definitely recommend it to everyone x

“It's what you expect”

We stayed here for 1 night (room 216) on the 7th September as we had a wedding the next day at Hawkstone Hall. Our room was standard, nice bed and the bathroom was decent. Some parts of our room needed a small tidy up but nothing massive. The breakfast was decent and staff were nice. Special mentio… lisää

“Midweek overnight”

Booked this as we were attending a wedding at Hawkstone Hall and it was apparently the closest one as the hall was fully booked. Check in was uneventful, gentleman didn’t really smile and appeared to not really want to be there. Given minimal directions but found room ok taking just one wrong turn.… lisää

Booked this as we were attending a wedding at Hawkstone Hall and it was apparently the closest one as the hall was fully booked. Check in was uneventful, gentleman didn’t really smile and appeared to not really want to be there. Given minimal directions but found room ok taking just one wrong turn. Was not given info about restaurant (not that we needed it, but would have been nice to have been told), he mentioned breakfast but words used were “I think it’s from 7am” surely on front of house reception knowing serving times of breakfast is a necessary requirement? On walking to room, had to go down a few stairs which had a curved staircase going off to either side, you could go straight on, but not further down as there was a barrier stopping you. The smell as you came out of the room and into the area where these stairs were smelt very musty and damp. The hotel in my opinion need to ensure that this is addressed as this does not give a great impression. On entering my room, the window was slightly open ensuring it was properly aired, the bed was big, and first impressions were good. Then I went into the bathroom to put my wash things in there. The corner on the side of the bath was dusty, I feel that having a shower over a bath is a little dated and it would be better if this was changed to a shower tray. The toilet paper is very flimsy, the back of the door is damaged. On a plus there was plenty of hot water. Due to the dust/dirt on the side of the bath, I then checked the top of the mirror in the bedroom to find yet more dust. So it was not the cleanest of rooms, the bedding was clean though so not all bad. Breakfast was a little disappointing. Two toasters by the bread (both 4 slice) and only one of the toasters worked but not both sides. Did mention this, the guy managed to get the other side working, but how I have no idea. The other toaster he checked but could not get this working at all, and I was surprised to see 2 domestic toasters used in a hotel restaurant. Maybe an upgrade on this is required. The bread used for the toast tasted sweet, like the cheap bread you can get. It was not great and I couldn’t eat it. The sausages were ok, bacon overcooked on one side undercooked on the other, fried eggs were rubbery on the top like they’d been sat under the lamp for hours, however as breakfast started at 7am and we arrived for breakfast at 7.20am this should not have been the case. There was prepared fresh fruit, but no apples or bananas or any other fruit available. There were a few fruit juices available. Coffee was out of a machine and the tea was not as strong as I like, a nicer touch would be for pots of fresh coffee to be taken round, and pots of tea available rather than having to make it in a cup. All in all the hotel served a purpose, but there are some things that need attention.
