Stanbrook Abbey Hotel, Worcester

This stay was for one night visiting family, we had a very warm welcome and a nice surprise of a room upgrade, the Abbey is a hive of knuck and crannies every turn was bathed in history, our room was comfortable well equipped with complementary drinks and added bonus of air conditioning, in the evening we had a bar meals and drinks that were well cooked and presented, the morning we had the full English breakfast that was plentiful well presented, I can't finish without mentioning the staff only to say they are some of the best I have encountered in my trips away, always a smile and professional.

Went for a couple of nights away for my partners birthday. Afternoon tea was delicious (lots of it!) and the staff were all very attentive. Food was lovely. Beautiful hotel and grounds. Definitely a one-of-a-kind place and from this experience will return here and now use "hand-picked hotels" in future based on this stay.

We were visiting the nearby Sixways Stadium (for which this hotel was very convenient) and also celebrating a special birthday in our family. The hotel suggested the walker package they offer, which includes stay, meal and packed lunch the following day. With four of us in one room it would have been a tight squeeze but we would have managed. The hotel kindly upgraded us to a suite with more room. This was perfect! It was spacious and well appointed with a lovely bathroom. The hotel were very attentive; they phoned beforehand to see if we had any needs/requests and left a chocolate treat and nice message for the birthday boy! The bar service was very attentive and having found out about the birthday, made a special request to the kitchen for our evening meal. We enjoyed a 3 course meal, which was delicious. The ‘request’ was a dessert wishing a happy birthday which was very thoughtful. We had fun playing snooker in the basement which was a little creepy, especially as the hotel was quite quiet! Overall, a lovely stay and would gladly recommend.

We chose Stanbrook Abbey as our wedding venue as soon as we saw it! The venue is a mix of tasteful, modern decor combined with the more traditional features that you’d expect from a former nunnery. We completely fell in love with the callow great hall, it’s simply stunning. Caylie and the rest of the team are superb. During the run up to our wedding, Caylie was always available by phone or email if we had any questions or queries, no matter how small or trivial. The team really helped to ensure that our wedding ran smoothly and without a hitch. During the menu tasting session, we were blown away by every aspect. The decor, the wine selection, the restaurant staff, and of course the food. We chose 3 of each course to taste, and to say we struggled to choose was an understatement! Each dish was freshly prepared and presented beautifully. The flavour combinations were amazing, we easily would’ve been happy with any of them! Our actual wedding day was just perfect! Again, the team were spot on. We were kept informed every step of the way and felt comfortable and confident that the day would run smoothly. All of our guests commented on what a beautiful wedding it was! Thankyou Stanbrook, you truly are a dream wedding venue and we are so pleased that we got to spend our special day there!

Stayed one night. Booked a cosy room which was upgraded. Staff are polite, courteous and attentive. The room was nice with a large bathroom. Dined in the restaurant where the food was excellent. Courtesy call from reception after arrival gave me the opportunity to ask for milk which was missing from the tea tray which promptly arrived. Will definitely stay again

From right the beginning Meg at reception was so helpful and explained everything clearly. Always with a smile. Then Guy took our bags up to our room and he was all smiles, explaining everything in the room. It was a lovely bedroom with air conditioning. Lots of pillows and cushions. Bed comfortable and inviting. Great toiletries. We were told there would be complimentary champagne but as we don’t drink alcohol we were given alcohol free beer and loads of fruit juice. Staff went out of their way to help this visit be the wonderful visit it was. The grounds are stunning. We had lots to walk around. Sheep came and send hello. They have tried their best to keep the inside of,the hotel the way it was. Much of the original details of the convent have been treated well and any additions and renovations looked after respectfully. Lots of history to see when wandering the hotel. Quite fascinating. The wood, the stairs, the different rooms. Breakfast was fresh and cooked on the spot for you in the lovely Refectory. Service was great, thanks Ellie and Gracie. We had dinner at George’s bar and Lewis, Rob and Kevin were very attentive and looked after us well. All in all a wonderful stay and thanks everyone.
