Welbeck Manor and Golf

Wow!! Recently booked a family lunch to celebrate my husband's 40th birthday and can't express how thankful I am to Emily Kate and the team for all their help. I decided to arrange for the buffet as their was 28 of us, we had a room to ourselves and was just how we wanted it. The staff continuously went out of their way to assist and the buffet was a hit with everyone both kids and Adults it was a wonderful selection, so fresh with many of the party claiming it to be the best buffet they have had. The room was beautiful and the team happily helped me decorate, continuously checking with me throughout the party that I was happy with everything. We had been many times previously for their wonderful breakfast, but was completely blown away with this party!!! Thank you Welbeck Team you were all amazing!!

Had dinner here with my family. It’s a lovely venue and I was surprised at how empty it was on a Friday night. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food itself took a little while to come out but I can only assume this is due to the love and attention they were giving it as it was excellent. I had the featherblade of beef which was tender and enhanced by a rich Jus. The rest of the party also enjoyed their food. I would definitely come here again.

Unfortunately, it was not up to the standard we had expected, particularly given the reputation and cost of staying in a suite at the hotel. Check-In Experience Upon arrival, we had to wait for quite some time at check-in without any acknowledgment, apology, or thanks from the staff. The check-in area felt disorganised, resembling a storeroom with chairs scattered everywhere and staff dumping their belongings around us. Bar and Dining When we visited the bar, we were not approached by staff despite them chatting behind the counter. We were informed we could order food upon arrival, only to wait 15 minutes and then be told the kitchen had closed. Considering the hotel's remote location, it’s essential to offer some form of dining throughout the day for guests. Room Issues In our suite, the blind was broken. While a temporary solution was found, it was clear the issue had not been properly addressed, leaving us unable to open the blind. Additionally, the desk lamp had a two-pin plug with no compatible socket nearby, rendering it unusable. There were also no dressing gowns provided in the suite, which was surprising given the cost and the expectation of certain amenities. Parking and Safety The car park and the road leading to it were poorly lit, with no lighting in certain areas. This created a dangerous environment, especially considering the uneven surface of the car park. This lack of lighting raises serious health and safety concerns. Dining Experience While the starters during dinner were acceptable, the mains left much to be desired: - The pork was very tough. - The salmon contained an excessive number of bones. - The turkey portion was small and lacked flavour. At breakfast, we were surprised when we requested juice and fruit and were told it was unavailable. This is a basic offering even at budget hotels like Premier Inn. That said, the cooked breakfast was flavourful and well-prepared. Overall Experience Regrettably, the stay did not meet our expectations. The numerous issues, from check-in to dining and room amenities, made for a disappointing experience. I sent this email to the hotel over a week ago, as I always prefer to go direct to them with issues before coming to trip advisor. Suffice to say, over a week later, and no response which is very disappointing and shows how little this hotel cares for its guests.

We visited for three nights for a family funeral and it was a very comfortable stay. The Brunel suite was very warm and spacious for the three of us - although the lack of any window covering in the bathroom is a little disconcerting. We had everything we needed in the room and the maid was very accommodating when we asked for extra water. Breakfast on two of the three days was excellent, the middle morning was really an off day - had that been our only morning we may have left with a different impression! The evening bar staff were very friendly and efficient, and the Christmas decor was very welcoming. It was our third stay and we will definitely stay here again.

Came with family for Sunday lunch. Food was excellent. We all had the roast beef and it was Devine. Compliments to the chef. The setting is truly wonderful overlooking the beautiful golf course. We’ve eaten here a number of times and never been disappointed. We will be back.

Some staff were lovely. Some had to be hunted for such as to serve us breakfast on the Saturday. The shower was dangerous, wirhout moving control from medium it went from scading hot to freezing. The room was shabby outside lighting hit and miss. The beds were comfy and there were good quality coffe bags and biscuits.
