Reviews and Ratings
Returning to this hotel for our anniversary was a mixed experience. While our suite was luxurious with fantastic amenities, my friend’s room was disappointingly small and lacked an en-suite bathroom, which was frustrating. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful, making it a highlight of our stay. Still, the overall feel of the place is a bit dated in some areas, especially the décor in certain rooms.
We had a lovely stay at the Cranleigh Hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with some nice extras that made our visit special. The service was stellar, making us feel welcome throughout our time there. However, it wasn’t the most restful experience due to noise from a nearby pub on the weekend. Overall, the price was reasonable for what we received, but I could have done without the late-night disruptions.
My stay at The Cranleigh was quite an experience! The hotel boasts excellent service and some truly stunning rooms, particularly the luxurious one I had. However, the one we stayed in on our anniversary felt outdated and didn’t meet our expectations for a boutique hotel. Overall, great value, especially with the included spa access just a quick walk away.
What an incredible experience! The hotel was absolutely stunning, with a perfect romantic ambiance and exceptionally welcoming staff. I loved the private hot tub in the Sanctuary Suite, which made our mini moon unforgettable. However, I wish there were even more dining options available in the hotel. Overall, it felt like great value for a special getaway.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel, enjoying a wonderful weekend getaway. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. The room was modern and nicely decorated, perfect for our needs. The breakfast was a highlight with a great selection, although I did feel that the dining options could benefit from a little more diversity. Overall, it’s a charming place, but a slight improvement in the dining experience would elevate it further.
