Best Western Lord Haldon Country Hotel

My wife and I stayed for two nights in Sept 2016. Nice easy check in with very pleasant and welcoming staff.We stayed in room 31 good size and very quite being on the second floor great views over the hotel grounds and surrounding country side, the room had a double aspect and a good ensuit. Only down side was the three flights of stairs to the room and no lift. A good menu at reasonable prices and always served very hot? The Hotel is in the middle of nowhere and it means a few miles of very narrow lanes to get there.We had a good few days and will return. less

This is the second time we have stayed here. The hotel is in a beautiful setting although there are narrow and difficult lanes to get there, it well worth it. The hotel is clean, comfortable and very well maintained. The staff are very helpful, friendly and polite at all times. There is no lift although level access is possible. The food menu is arranged such that ANY combination of food may be ordered from all of the menu. The food is excellent and very well presented. Thoroughly recommend this hotel. less

Date of this stay 22nd September 2016 (which is my first stay here) Room 26 My ongoing experience of the hotel is as follows: 1) Arrival was straightforward using the Sat Nav instructions from the hotel, the last few miles were down very narrow country lanes for which the Sat Nav truly came into its very own. 2) There is a large free car park that surrounds the hotel at the front 3) On arrival at the hotel the check in staff were pleasant and friendly 4) I received access to the free WIFI throughout my stay 5) All area’s including the bedrooms were always well kept, tidy and clean. 6) My room No 26 was clean and well maintained, in particular the bathroom was sparkling clean, please give my compliment to the housekeeping team. 7) The hotel is of the typical twee and older style country house hotel that you expect from the mainstream brand. 8) I arrived after 9PM so was unable to sample the evening meal on this occasion. 9) Breakfast was a traditional English breakfast cooked to your order, I ordered the smoked haddock and poached egg which was the best I have had this year. Many thanks to the chef. 10) Check out, was straight forward and hassle free In summary the hotel scores 8.5/10 for a good Best Western branded hotel . less

We booked last minute and had no idea what we would get. On arrival Tommy made us very welcome and was more than happy to change our allocated room to a more suitable one. The atmosphere was lovely - calm and comfortable. Our room was spacious, with well placed furniture, beautiful furnishings and had spectacular country views from two aspects. The beds were very comfortable! Our dinner was freshly cooked, was fantastically tasty and was served by the chef himself as our waiter was busy elsewhere! Our waiter was professional and friendly with a great sense of humour and attended us very well. The breakfast staff were equally lovely and friendly without losing their professional touch to their work. A marvellous place to stay! Our only issue was lack of disabled facilities. There is nothing that can be done because of the type of building but the staff help as much as they can. If you are unable to manage stairs sadly this would not be the place for you. My mum and I felt the struggle we had was worth it! less

A fine stay enhanced by a charming staff. Good quality food served hot and in ample helpings. Quite setting with some problems in locating down single track roads but well worth the effort. A return visit is very likely. less
