Stapleford Park Hotel & Spa

Hotel is set on amazing grounds, with beautiful, well maintained gardens but unfortunately that's all. Staff are not friendly, food is poor and rooms are dusty. Makes it worse in the heat as the room does not have air conditioning (rather an old fan that blows dust and warm air). Furthermore, the room does not have mini fridge and the shower only trickles water. Go to enjoy the grounds and maybe a drink but that's all!

The hotel grounds are a pleasure to walk around and well kept, the hotel is obviously undergoing some sort of repair as a tarpaulin is covering the ceiling sky light above the main halls stairs so it is very dark, the food was very good in the bar and service was also very good, adding a service charge to everything seems the normal here even when you go to the bar to collect your own drinks. We had and evening meal and breakfast included in our stay, the food at the evening meal was okay nothing special but the beef was cooked to perfection but with an £8 supplement for the privilege, the vegetables were nearly none existent so great if your on a diet and only like one of each veg or you spend £5.50 each on the accompaniments. The bedroom was supposedly a deluxe room of a good size and the bed was very comfortable, however the floor boards creaked on nearly every board we stepped on and made a a terrible noise in the middle of the night if you walked on them, what was worse was that the other rooms next to ours must be the same as we could here creaking floor boards from them every time someone walked about in the night and that disturbs your sleep. The bathroom was the worst I have had to use in years especially at a select hotel, the floor around the toilet was stained on the tiles and the silicon was just yellow and brown, the same was with the basin and the silicon again, the worst was the bath/shower screen the rubber water retainer was just brown and dirty, these are only a few pounds to buy and just lets the bathroom down even more, for the cost to re silicon the bathroom and change the rubber strip would go a long way to making it look fresher, the staining on the floor I would think will not come off, overall the hotel is a fantastic place to stay but maintenance is not on point for the cost of the rooms. food is okay just very sparse on vegetables, so buy more if you are hungry.

Fantastic hotel and setting. Lovely staff and great food. Can't complain about anything. We also did clay pigeon shooting with the Rutland outdoor pursuit. Gill and Simon were great, very friendly and brilliant instructors. Fabulous experience, throughly enjoyed it. Would highly recommend it.

Perfect stay from start to finish. All team members so friendly and helpful, went out of their way to speak. Bedroom very grand and beautifully decorated. Dinner and breakfast were fantastic. Lovely Countryside views. We will definitely return, thank you.

Had a wonderful stay for our wedding anniversary. We stayed in a grand room and the view was amazing across the park. The room was lovely, clean and comfortable. Our booking was with the half board option and the food at dinner was delicious. Despite the hotel being full that weekend due to a wedding, the breakfast buffet was very good with a decent selection. Staff were very attentive, polite and friendly. We also used the pool and spa treatments and couldn't fault any of it. We booked the clay pigeon shooting activity with Simon and Jill. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend doing any of their outdoor activities. They are lovely people and made the experience fun.

Such a stunning place to stay. This was our third visit and my husband and I stayed for one night with dinner and breakfast. The food was superb, with every dish cooked perfectly and mouth-wateringly delicious. Our room was very comfortable and grand with incredible views across beautiful countryside. There are lovely grounds to walk in and an ancient church to visit. Incredibly relaxing and a welcome retreat in such busy lives. The staff are warm and welcoming and we would like to convey our special thanks to the incredible head chef, Pete on reception, and the friendly, helpful, efficient waiting staff. We would like to send our special sincere gratitude to Carolina who always makes everything perfect. We truly appreciate everyone’s hard work and can’t wait to see you all again.
