Best Western Limpley Stoke Hotel

Great staff and service throughout the hotel. Lovely (executive room) on the top floor overlooking the picturesque Avon valley, great facilities and wonderful views. The hotel is very special with a laid-back feel - thanks to the hard work of the hotel staff. Our evening meal was highly enjoyable - very good waiter, and my steak was cooked to perfection. Breakfast was a bit poorer and although the young staff were excellent, what was on offer was disappointing, i appreciate that with the current restrictions it is not easy but a continental breakfast of a croissant, and a couple of slices of ioast, plus weetabix is not something to write home about. How about some fruit and /or nuts, maybe even bran flakes ! That said, we really enjoyed our stay and hope to return soon. We would definitely recommend this hotel as a country hotel with a special city (Bath) nearby. less

positive- the male receptionist that checked us in was friendly, professional and super helpful- an attribute to the hotel ! The grounds around the hotel were beautiful and looked after. we enjoyed drinks on the terrace overlooking the fields which was really lovely :) negatives.... We booked a room and paid extra for 'room with a view' - the view was a tree and a car park. The room was tiny, smelt damp & dirty, tiny window and was so uncomfortably hot. The placement of the room meant we had constant noise morning and night by people coming in and out of the lifts. Online it says there is a 24 hr concierge and there wasn't anyone in sight. The room had no glasses or water bottles available in the room. Upon check out the receptionist took our keys, but we were never asked out our stay was or if we enjoyed it. less

We had arranged our wedding for April 2020 outside in the gazebo. Due to lockdowns, we had to postpone 5 times. Our wedding planner Karen was absolutely brilliant. Each time she rearranged our wedding celebrations whilst working from home. We finally arranged our date for 22nd May, the first wedding at the hotel after restrictions were lifted and our 5th attempt to get married. The scene was set and we hoped the weather would hold out. Karen was absolutely brilliant. I desperately wanted a gazebo wedding as the scenery was stunning. On the day the heavens opened and it poured down. We were due to get married at 1530. The guests informed us after that the staff brought the chairs out to the gazebo 3 times and kept taking them back in due to the weather. 45 minutes before our ceremony the sun came out and shone. We had our dream of getting married in the gazebo, and that was all down to Karen's planning and trying to make our wishes come true. We got married, had our reception in the beautiful tudor room and had the most away, beyond anything we imagined. The service from the staff was second to none and the manager Dave was so accommodating. I can rave about this Hotel until the cows come home but I won't. They made our day unforgettable, amazing, the service was first class and Karen and Dave did everything they could to make our wishes come true. I cannot rate the hotel or staff more highly. They made our day absolutely perfect and gave us the perfect start in our lives together. We stayed in the bridal sweet which was comfortable, private and had a private balcony with the most amazing views to die for. A huge thank you to Karen and the team. An amazing team in a beautiful location. I would recommend the Limpley stoke Hotel to everyone 100% less

We came 5 years ago and the setting on a hill in a small village with beautiful views is what attracted me to the hotel. It is clean and the price is reasonable. I think once covid restrictions are lifted, the breakfast will offe rmore. less

We booked through Booking.com and I don't know if that made a difference but our room was much smaller than expected. Why they had a desk with a chair when you couldn't even sit at it as there was no room, I don't understand. The bed was so uncomfortable could feel the springs! The whole place felt soul less, no atmosphere and felt like an old peoples home (with respect to the old peoples home). The waitresses had skirts that barely covered their bottoms which frankly I thought was inappropriate for serving. The food was overpriced and not very nice. The continental breakfast had no fruit and only 2 choices of cereal and 2 choices of yogurt. The coffee was awful. The waiter in the bar needs to learn to smile and not be so rude and bashful. Had a couple of drinks on the terrace and it seemed an inconvenience to him and slammed the drinks down which took us by surprise. As we were only using it as a base to visit Bath it was ok but definitely would not recommend or go back. Shame as the location is lovely. and quite frankly could be a gorgeous place. Needs updating and friendlier staff and a new chef!!! less
