What a beautiful hotel.
I was away with my son for the weekend and needed a twin room. These are hard to find. We had originally booked in another hotel that had a pool, only to find that hotel was truly awful. After one night we left and went to Easthampstead Park, which was on my short list of properties to begin with for the weekend. I should have listened to my gut and come here instead of the other place.
On walking in, you can see it's been very tastefully and elegantly re-decorated. Colours and tones are wam and soothing.
Check in was a breeze, the ladies at the front desk were very welcoming.
The room, of which I attached a photo was lovely. Ignore the beds not being perfect, we'd put our bags on them before taking the photo.
We had lunch in the bar and breakfast in the morning, all of which was great. There's a lovely bar area, a very cosy lounge room to read or take tea (I did), and very nice breakfast/tea room and a full restaurant (we didn't eat in the restaurant).
I travel a lot for work, so I notice when things are done well and they are here. Things that stood out to me were:
- Decoration. Lovely, maybe more plants to soften rooms?
- Warmth, despite original windows the hotel is warm. The room was maybe a bit too warm, but we opened the windows. I don't recall seeing AC for the summer though.
- Staff were super friendly, very professional, stopping when you pass.
It's just missing a spa, that would make it amazing.
I'll return in the summer for afternoon tea.
