Hotel du Vin & Bistro

Our Members Say

 The tenth anniversary celebrations of the company I work for were held here. My boss had booked the entire place for all staff to enjoy a drinks reception, dinner, music and dancing, overnight stay and breakfast. What a treat! (I know the picture shows more of us than it does of the decor but it's the only one I've got and at least you can tell how much we liked the place by our smiles!)

The hotel is in a lovely old building set back from the road in nice grounds. Inside, it is a maze of corridors and staircases; returning from visiting my colleagues' rooms, I got lost several times! The room I stayed in was spacious, decorated in soothing colours and given an individual feel by the addition of some beautiful furniture, perhaps antique, and a wall covered by pictures of Queen Victoria, mostly as a young girl. In the room, the tea and coffee making facilities included herbal teas and a cafetiere for the delicious fresh coffee provided.

The bathroom had peaceful feel and would be perfect for anyone who likes to have a relaxing soak in its enormous deep bathtub, the kind with feet. It had an excellent shower too and some nice products available to use.

The food we were served was excellent. Although my vegetarian main course, a lake of risotto with nothing to accompany it, was a bit dull, this was an exception; everyone else's main course was much more appetizing, and the rest of my meal was delicious too.

The continental breakfast, I ate the next day, was first class, with mountains of fresh fruit salad and a good selection of juices alongside a variety of breads and pastries and very nice coffee too. The others reported their full English breakfast to be equally good (in fact, they said it was better but I didn't believe them!)
