Beautiful Hotel. We had room 2 which was gorgeous. Extremely large with a four poster and a very big bathroom. Food was superb and first class service from the staff. Highly recommended.

Staff were very friendly, food at restaurant was delicious, room was clean, spacious and comfortable.
Can’t wait to book again for another couple days away!
Thank you
Hopefully we have better weather next time as would like to explore the grounds more.

Have been many times before for afternoon tea and dinner but we had an amazing afternoon tea for a friends baby shower yesterday.
The table decorations, staff and of course food was incredible as always.
Would definitely recommend to everyone. Thank you very much

Can not fault the grounds and building of the hotel. The rooms are large and well equipped with facilities including iron, hair dryer and a large tv. We also had an extra heater in the room that had been turned on prior to our arrival with it been a cold day. The rooms are amazing value for money and the hotel itself is only a 15 minuet drive from the Warner Bros Harry Potter Studio Tours which was the out loud of the trip. The reception staff were very friendly and checked us in immediately despite arriving early.
However as mentioned in other reviews it can be quite loud at times making it difficult to sleep. Our room was situated outside the lifts meaning we were awake at various points throughout the night and early morning (whenever anyone used the lift) due to the noise level in our room.
On our second night we chose to have a meal at the hotel restraunt rather than venture out. We arrived at the restraunt at 18.55 and asked if we would be able to have a table for 2. The gentleman we asked was rather abrupt and told us the restraunt didn't open till 19.00 but failed to ask if we would like to get a drink at the bar like other guests whilst we waited. We were dressed casual (no sports wear, jeans and nice top) as we were staying at the hotel and wanting a relaxed night we chose the hotel restraunt for convience. Due to this and being a young couple it was quite an uncomfortable experience, as it almost felt like we shouldn't be there. However most of the waiting staff were very friendly (especially a younger male member of staff who regularly checked on us) food was delivered promptly and was cooked incredibly, we had the steak and lamb. Amazing quality for the price paid.
Overall I nice stay, there is an issue with noise but overall great quality for money. The restraunt experience could have been better we would have stayed in the restraunt for longer and got a few drinks but felt uncomfortable so retired to our room as soon as we finished our meal.

Lovely hotel, nice welcoming staff but from other reviews maybe I got lucky. The rooms are all lovely and well equipped so I can’t fault the grounds and hotel at all. However, at 4.30 am the fire alarm went off, I’d only managed an hour or so sleep at this point and having got out of bed and made my way into the corrifldor found out it was a false alarm At 6 am it went off again but this time for about 10 Seconds then stopped. My wife and I were not amused and at 8.30 made our way down for a tired breakfast, the food was great but any plans we had made for Saturday went out the window as we were both knackered. Maybe a voucher for a free night would help in this regard, but that apart, the hotel deserves a 5 stars in my opinion More...

We had a fantastic stay... lovely room great food ... only thing was the £50 taken on credit card as a deposit ... we paid cash for what we had and on check out was told it could take 2 wks to return deposit which we think is totally wrong. This needs to be looked into ... most places take a penny just to have card details on record. More...

Very friendly staff at check in and this continued with the bar staff and restaurant staff too. Nothing was too much trouble. Room was lovely and the food in the restaurant was delicious. We were charged for additional drinks at checkout but these were immediately removed once I challenged it. Genuinely believe it was a simple mistake. More...

Our company Epiroc has been using this hotel since last year. This was my 3rd stay. Always a warm welcome when you arrive. Staff are polite, courteous and attentive. Dinner was excellent as usual. My only criticism would be breakfast. Bacon is always dried up under hot plate lights. Come on chef you can do better Otherwise keep up the good work More...

Stayed here on a Smart-Box gifted stay, staff were very attentive and waiting staff especially at dinner and breakfast were very friendly and helpful. Food was great and breakfast was well stocked and choice was extensive. The hotel itself is beautiful and the grounds go on forever and are immaculately tended. Free WiFi available throughout which is very handy as phone reception wasn’t great. Only down side is there is no Aircon in the older wing but this is due to the listed status of the building and windows when opened allow a good draft and cool breeze. If you just want to unwind and relax this is a great choice. More...

I played this course about 20 years ago and it's only gotten better. Last time I played it was drier and needed some work, but now it's in top condition. Everything from the tee boxes to fairways, and even the rough, is well maintained. It's not very long or particularly challenging, but a great day's golf and beautiful course make this very worthwhile - not to mention the more than reasonable green fees. Staff are welcoming and helpful; very polite and friendly. Well worth the visit. More...

Beautiful grounds, attentive and accomodating staff. The choices included on the menu for dbb guests were good. We had a lovely room with a comfy bed. Close to Harry Potter studios. I would recommend this place to anyone. Buffet breakfast was of a good quality, personally I prefer to have a freshly cooked breakfast but that's the only thing that I would suggest could be improved. More...

Me and my wife enjoyed a wonderful afternoon. The afternoon tea we ordered was lovely. We both enjoyed the food options along with our champagne. The only disappointment was that the coffee was like warm and very strong. I would have liked the option in a cappachino or latte instead. Overall very happy. More...

Shendish Manor has come a long way in the last 10 years. I’ve played a lot of golf at the club and have always enjoyed it. The course isn’t the longest but it’s well looked after with some interesting features. It’s not championship quality but it won’t disappoint most golfers. I also attended a wedding reception at the the Manor recently and was taken back by the character of the place. This is a lovely venue that has something for everyone. More...

Ideal for Warner Bros Studios and the Harry Potter Studio Tour. Good hotel. Excellent evening meal with attentive, smiling staff. Thought the bedroom (No44) whilst spacious, could do with a refresh. Chipped wood on the wardrobe doesn't look great in a four-star hotel, and the bathroom needed updating - but the room was clean. Would definitely stay again More...

A great Hotel with stacks of space. Flexible with both modern and historic sections benefiting from both modern and classic guestrooms. A wonderful restaurant with top notch staff. I have attended Social and Business functions here that have all ran smoothly. Ample car parking. Warm and welcoming both in look and staffing. Hotel has a golf course and spacious grounds perfect for a leisurely stroll or for wedding photos. A excellent hotel! More...

Absolutely enchanting place. The staff were wonderfully helpful and friendly.

Our room was perfect (save for perhaps a window view of a wall and a broken phone in the room). However, everything else was such an amazing experience that I cannot dock Shendish a star.

We were so tired having spent the day at the Warner Brothers studio tour & had room service delivered by such friendly staff. The dinner was beautiful followed by a equally delicious breakfast buffet the next morning.

Wonderful place. Will be going again. I cannot recommend this wonderful place enough.
