Testimonials
WHAT OUR GUESTS ARE SAYING…
Friendly and helpful staff, in an amazing location. Walked around the grounds in the evening. We booked one night but extended for two. The food is really good too! Didn’t get a chance to use the swimming pool, but will do next time we stay. Amazing views across the parkland from our room. Early evening when the golfers thinned out, we looked out of our room window to see about twenty young deer about a hundred foot away. Magical. Thank you every one.
Sean, Booking.com, September 2025
Spa facilities and yoga class was a bonus. Full english breakfast cooked to order. Lovely room with view and comfortable bed. Perfect for a couple of days away.
Phil, Booking.com, September 2025
We stayed here after attending an event. We arrived as a large group. I had treatment in the spa and others used the squash courts and swimming pool, before heading to the bar for food and drinks. Service was 10/10 and the food was excellent quality. We stayed in room 28 which was beautiful, highly recommend you book this room. The grounds are beautiful and all staff were very welcoming. We all had a fantastic time and look forward to booking again.

Great staff, beautiful location. I have been coming to this hotel for a good few years. Decided to take some family with us and they loved it just as much as my husband and I do. Can’t wait to return. Lovely girls on reception. Martina, Lisa and Sam always make our stay so enjoyable.

Good morning Leah and team. I just wanted to email to say the biggest thank you ever. You truly made our wedding special! From wedding meetings, staff, checking in, our food and drink, the rooms, helping me during photos and of course becoming Mr & Mrs. It was just all smooth, organised and perfect. The whole day was amazing and nothing was too much for anyone. I will highly recommend you, I could not of asked for a better wedding planner and a better staff team at the Elfordleigh. Thank you again and again and again.
Emily & Simon, June 2025
We stayed at Elfordleigh for 3 nights and we couldn’t fault the hotel or staff. From the moment we walked in we were met with a friendly, family like atmosphere where nothing was too much trouble. My parents have been here several times, so we decided to give it a go. So glad we did!
Carly, Tripadvisor, June 2025
We just wanted to send a message to say a huge thank you for all of your help organising our wedding and making sure the day went smoothly! You were both amazing! Leah, you’ve reassured us along the way and tried to make the process as stress free as possible. You were really attentive on the day and kept checking in which was amazing! We really do appreciate everything you did for us and we would recommend a wedding at the Elfordleigh to everyone, you both made it as special as it was, so thank you so much!
