We had a lovely stay at Bartley lodge. Beautiful manor house on lovely grounds. Good value and good size family rooms. We loved that the pool had long opening hours. We had dinner onsite one night which was delicious and kids menu too.

Nice large Manor House hotel with extensive grounds. All clean and well looked after but a couple of areas could do with refurbishment now due to age and general wear and tear. Nice that they allow dogs. Great stay, friendly staff, many thanks.

A relaxing short stay

Nice old style building with themed decoration and preserved older features. The swimming pool was clean and ideal temperature. However, probably due to the size and age of the property the water pressure in the room was very low (for shower, basin and toilet). We knew it was a small (snug) room when we booked but it was adequate for our 3 night stay.

Unpleasantly surprised

"Single beds" turned out to be a sofa bed and a space saving temporary frame with mattress. Tap for shower was broken. It took speaking to three members of staff to get cooked breakfast premium refunded as it was not needed. What was surprising and quite shocking was that the staff seemed disinterested with resolving the situation. It's a shame as the building and grounds are really quite impressive.

Lovely hotel with great staff. Would like to see a great range of food on the menu and more regular servicing of the number of towels in the pool.

The lack of maintenance is everywhere!

We stay in this hotel a couple of times a year en route to Poole, each time we see no maintenance whatsoever. Everywhere is tatty, the shower in room 20 doesn’t work, the room was roasting hot, and there are 2 outside lights on all night directly above the 2 windows. We had to stuff towels along the curtain pole to try and block it out. The furniture is very cheap tatty pine. The bed and sheets were very comfy though, I’ll give good marks for that. The bedside light doesn’t work. No headboard. We couldn’t complain as it was 11pm when we got to the room, and we left before 6am. No toiletries in the room at all. This hotel should be stunning, but I’d be so disappointed if I’d booked a nice break, every footstep creaks and doors bang!! Sorry but we shall find somewhere else from now on!

This hotel has a beautiful location . The room was lovely and very clean. Staff were fabulous in particular the receptionist. The only down fall was the waiting time for food in the restaurant, the food itself was lovely . Would also be nice if there was a separate dining area for families , as felt a little under pressure when dining with kids

The location is convenient and grounds very nice. The building is clean, but you can tell it’s a bit tired around the edges. Has has had some money spent in areas to improve it, but needs a little more to improve the overall feel. Great pool and this was a definite highlight. Didn’t find the reception staff to be friendly, and they seemed fairly disorganised.

A tale of two halves

We were greeted by a lobby of moaning guest, which didn't bode well. We were checked in quickly and our room was ok. The bed was very comfortable. The room was very hot and lots of cobwebs on windows and in corners. Dinner service was not good. We were seated for two hours for two courses. Very slow. I overheard a waitress swearing under her breath after a guest had asked for something, which was disappointing. The pool was lovely and warm. Breakfast was good. Reception in the morning was exemplary. Great friendly service. Couldn't do enough.

I stayed here for £152 and got the standard room, it was very disappointing as the room did not anything like the photos online , and the light was hanging off the ceiling , carpets were old and dirty , furniture was dated and bathroom was old and not great. I spoke to the manager and they weren’t very helpful at all. The breakfast was nice , but the room was not nice as all, and was not worth £152, I would recommend staying elsewhere.

Coffin would have been more comfortable

Room smelled. Bed was so hard just like sleeping on the floor think a coffin would have been more comfortable and the booking said 1 king size bed and a single bed we got neither only had a double bed and the duvet wasn’t big enough to cover the both of us. Shower screen didn’t keep the water where it should be. It was so nosy people kept slamming doors right through the night. We are never going to stop here again.

Poor nights sleep

The room (48) was on the top floor and baking hot, even with the window open and 3 fans blowing. Considering the rating and the cost this room was far below par. The double bed, which was actually 2 singles pushed together was extremely uncomfortable, we could feel the springs of the bed. The whole reason for staying in hotels is to sleep and we couldn’t do that one thing, it’s such a shame as the building and location is beautiful but not enough attention has been paid to the guest’s comfort.

I stayed at Bartley Lodge Hotel for four nights over my birthday weekend, and while the location and atmosphere were beautiful, several issues left us disappointed. Starting with the positives: the architecture of the hotel is absolutely stunning, and the interior design is just as charming. The location is fantastic—perfect for exploring nearby national parks and lovely local pubs, especially if you have children or a dog with you. A particular highlight was the dinner at the hotel restaurant—it was genuinely one of the best meals I’ve ever had. However, there were quite a few negatives during our stay. Upon check-in, I was informed it would cost £60 for my dog to stay, which felt very steep. We also forgot our toothbrushes and toothpaste and waited at reception for 26 minutes around 10 p.m. to ask for some, but no one ever showed up. Breakfast was another letdown—it cost nearly £17 per person, and unfortunately, the quality didn’t match the price. The buffet condiments were frequently empty, and we had to keep asking staff to replenish basic items. Speaking of staff, it was often difficult to get through to reception via phone, and on one of the days, there was no water in the room to shower or wash. After calling multiple times with no response, I went down in person, only to find no one there either. Our room was uncomfortably hot, even with the window open and the fan on. When we sat outside for drinks in the garden, all the tables were dusty and dirty, and it was cle

Dissapointed

I was a little dissapointed with our stay. We booked this place as we were visiting peppa pig world but wanted somewhere a little nicer to stay than the local holiday inn. Upon arrival we were informed there would be no house keeping during our stay, this meant we'd ran out of tea bags on the first morning and both the bins were overflowing as we were staying with out 3 year old. We had no soap, shower gel or shampoo in our room, i did try to ask at the front desk but gave up. We had an issue with our bath on the first night, the plug wouldnt release to drain the water. We had to get staff up to the room to remove the plug and the following day they provided a new plug but it was too large to fit in the hole so we couldnt fill the bath up the next time. We had dinner in the hotel restaruant on our first night where the service was poor. We had booked a table but they didnt have a record of it. I order ateak rare and it was more medium/well. We ordered a round a drinks with one of the staff and after 15 minutes had to reporder as there was 'no record on the till' Our room was also over the washing machines so we were woken up fairly early to thrumming of the washing machines which was very loud in the room. All of this is a shame as the hotel and gardens are very beatiful and would otherwise make for a lovely stay.
