Good conference facilities
I visit the Waterton Park Hotel every six months for a meeting we regularly hold within the industry I work in. The service has always been impeccable and the food very good. The conference facilities they offer are very good. The rooms I have been allocated in the past have all been very good with one exception. I was allocated a room on the ground floor of the new building. Although there was nothing wrong with the room itself, it was at the foot of a fire escape and there were tall windows in the bathroom and the bedroom which... more
Superb setting, relaxing and peaceful
Had the best nights sleep in a peacful location and was just sorry that we hadn't arrived earlier and couldn't stay any later to enjoy the relaxing feel of this hotel. Friendly staff always around to help. We were lucky enough to be allocated a room in the house on the lake and only a short walk over the bridge for a lovely breakfast. We didn't have a chance to use any of the facilities, swim in the pool or eat in the main restaurant but would recommend to anyone wishing to get away from it all without going too far !!! We will return when... more
Nice enough, but not what we expected.
To be honest it was a long time ago when I was last here before booking this time. I had attended a friends wedding there and to all intents and purposes she had a fabulous day. Wanting a quiet relaxing break, my partner and I booked the Waterton. Things like the views (guarranteed golf course or lake views) and the ambience of Walton Hall made us want to stay there. In fairness the rooms were spotlessly clean and the staff were helpful, polite and courteous. Food was nice but felt that the bar was in need of a refurb and the... more
fantastic location
We were amazed when driving down the long approach to the Hotel, to see in West Yorkshire this magnificient old house sat on an isaland surrounded by water. The staff were friendly and helpful, this was a suprise for our anniversary, we had a wonderful 4-poster room overlooking the old hall and bridge, the room was very luxurious, we had champagne and flowers in the room, at night we strolled over the bridge to the restaurant in the hall, it was all very romantic, dinner was great and the service very attentative. We had a fantastic time... more
Excellent place to stay
Stayed for two nights from 28th jan 2006 to 30th. Good Points: massive room, big Bathroom, bath and shower, room service, nice pool, jaccuzi, steam room, sauna, gym, good food, friendly staff, excellent service. Bad Points: a bit pricey but well worth it. check out the photos i've posted of the room. stayed in the new part of the hotel in room 53.
Amazing Hotel
Definitely the best hotel I have ever stayed in. I stayed here for a wedding reception and had one of the executive bedrooms. Four poster bed, bath I could fit in (I'm 5'11") and the best staff I have ever encountered. They all seemed genuinely pleased that you were there. No sign of the fake "have a nice day" syndrome that seems in inflict some chain hotels, they were all eager to help. So much so that when I refused room service because I was getting ready to go to the wedding, housekeeping waited until I left (at 12, even though I... more
What a lovely hotel
One night stay 29th/30 March 2005 Very friendly staff, an absolutley stunning position on the lake. Very clean, spacious rooms (Ask for no 2) Bar - good service Food - Very good Staff in all positions - Some of the friendliest I have come across for a long time. Knowledgable of area, helpful and sincere. Even asked if my wife and were married as I asked for a twin, "How sweet is that" SC
well i liked it !
When we got married on Christmas Eve 1993 - we couldn't afford to go away for the night! Colleagues had a collection and instead of buying a present - they paid for us for one night at the Waterton Park Hotel. It was the best gift they could have given us. Just walking over the footbridge to the main part of the hotel was brilliant - felt like going back in time - especially with the long frock ! We went back every year for about five years to celebrate - the second year - my husband thought was the best - because we took my... more
thoroughly enjoyed the stay!!!
My husband planned our stay as a surprise for my birthday, he booked the champagne special. This included use of a four poster room, a wonderful five course dinner, chocolates, champagne and a huge bunch of flowers all of which were waiting for us on arrival. The room was wonderfully presented on the top floor with views of both the bridge and the lake. The meal was delightful and nothing was too much for the restaurant staff, we were very well looked after. The reception staff were very friendly and again extremely helpful. Our stay... more
This is not a hotel!
I did not get a wink's sleep during my stay at Waterton Park Hotel. My executive room on the first floor of the new building facing the car park is extremely noisy. Disco music from a wedding did not finish till 2pm, followed by guests leaving and chatting on the way out; followed by drunken yobbos chanting and swearing in their rooms. As one thought it eventually quietened down at 4am, the cleaning team arrived hauling out dustbins and waste, followed by delivery from the hotel's laundry service. At 6am staff started arriving, parking their... more
