Sketchley Grange Hotel

A gem of a hotel...

Liked: The junior suite was very large, the bed was very comfortable, the air con was excellent. The best part however has to be the spa, the pool is lovely and the whole experience was just wonderful. £10 per person for the entire stay is an absolute bargain, the staff at the hotel and spa were very friendly. Loads of parking too. We had a normal burger from the restaurant and took it to our room and it was delicious. Another nice touch was that if you stay more than one night and use the same towels to help the environment (you get a tag to hang on your door) you get £5 off the bar/restaurant which was good. The place was very clean and there was a lovely walk for our dog if you go outside the gate, turn left and 20 meters up the road go rough into the woods and it goes into a huge enclosed nature walk.All in all, I definitely recommend this place and the price was very reasonable and the staff were excellent.
Disliked: Nothing that I didn’t like but a suggestion really. It would be nice to have a mini fridge, we were in the middle of a heatwave but even an empty one just to put your own water bottles or cans would have made it perfect. I was desperate for an ice cold drink when in the room.

Pleasant

Disliked: Sketchley Grange promised grandeur but fell short. While the rooms were spacious and the beds comfortable, the dated décor and bathroom gave away its need for refurbishment. A powerful shower was a highlight, though its prelude of high-pitched whistling was less charming. The staff shone with hospitality, offering friendly service throughout. However, having to pay an extra £10 per person for facilities—just because of booking through a third party—left a sour note, especially when it felt like you should’ve been treated like any other guest.

Very nice but small items...

Liked: Rooms and bathroom very spacious
Disliked: Let down by small items - Door timber frame work rotten/damaged in bathroom.Paint work on doors from restaurant into kitchen very worn.High stool in bar area foot rest broken.

Great stay!

Liked: The cleanliness, the breakfast, my room was a very generous size considering I was on my own and I very much enjoyed the use of the pool.
Disliked: The aircon was too noisy to have on during night.
