The hotel is special. Its a converted abbey and the bed rooms are conversions of where the nuns used to sleep. We had a twin room with beds in opposite corners which fitted in with the long but thin nature of the room. The bathroom was good with a large walk in shower. If you visit, take a wander around the corridors to get a feeling of what the place was like. Visit the chapel and other rooms and you wont be disappointed. As for food, breakfast was amazing. Freshly cooked food which tasted delicious. Very flexible as my wife is dairy-free at the moment. We ate once in the bar. We both had burgers and they are amongst the best we've tasted. We used the hotel as a base for visiting National Trust properties and over 3 days we visited 6 of them. That covered our years membership!

It would have been useful to have a fridge but this didnt cause a big issue as the hotel staff were able to supply fresh soya milk for my wife's hot drinks

Personally, I loved every minute of my stay at this beautiful hotel, the only reason it didn't get a 10 was because based on price alone, it lacked a pool and beauty / spa. The thing I particularly liked, apart from the venue itself and the wonderful (young) staff, was the relaxed atmosphere, we were able to wander all over the hotel without any restriction and if we happened to see a member of staff they simply greeted us with a smile, (we had a dog with us most of the time too).

I was a bit disappointed at the limited evening menu and, in my case, the small portion. Fortunately there are numerous options nearby (some within walking distance) and Worcester is only 5 miles away with everything you could ever want.

EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING & even more EVERYTHING😊 The reception staff was so warm n welcoming from check in to check out. The hotel, the grounds, the abbey was so beautiful and a breath of fresh air. Stayed in the suite with the roll top bath and I could of stayed in that all day and night. The room size was perfect, the quality of the amenities in the room was also perfect.. The bed wow👀, the size was massive and was sooooo comfortable. The breakfast was very nice and staff all polite and efficient with service. Very very highly recommend to anyone.

Having to leave to go home to normality haha

Was visiting the Morgan car factory about 8 miles away and when looking for my preference of a good countryside hotel I came across Stanbrook Abbey. The feedback they have gave me the assurance I wanted - not only does it look good in the photos but it actually delivers everything it promises. I booked and took advantage of their pay now no cancellation rate including breakfast. The hotel is easy enough to find and is set in well maintained grounds and has a drop off point for passengers and their luggage directly outside their main entrance even though their car parks aren't far away it's going to be very welcome if it were raining. That wasn't the case when we arrived as we were in the grip of a heatwave with 30c + temperatures. We hoped that their air conditioning was up to the job and were pleased to find that it was - not only in reception and the lounge / bar but also very effective in the bedrooms. We arrived late afternoon on a quiet Friday. The reception staff were welcoming, efficient, helpful and made the check-in process a good experience. It's the small touches that help set this hotel apart such as pre-arrival phone call to verify your expected time of arrival and whether you have any special dietary needs. On arrival being shown to your room and addressed by your Christian name for your early morning wake up call adds to the experience of being made to feel a valued guest. The hotel has retained and preserved aspects of the old abbey and they, like the gardens, are worth exploring. The bedroom and it's bathroom were of reasonable size, spotlessly clean and well appointed. The bed was comfortable ensuring the best chance for a good night's sleep and the bathroom shower was easy to operate and set the desired temperature whilst producing a good volume of water. The breakfast menu has something for everyone - I went for the full English and wasn't disappointed.

Nothing to dislike - it was all good.

The young staff were all shining examples of how to do great customer service. Every staff member appeared relaxed but attentive, friendly but maintained professionalism. The room was excellent, clean and had everything you'd need. I'd recommend just spending an hour or two walking round the hotel and grounds as this is well worth it.

Minor grumble, but we ended up booking our dinner elsewhere as we were there on a Monday night which their website says was a night they didn't serve dinner. However, we were told on arrival that actually the website needs updating, so we could have eaten there all along! I suggest calling ahead and checking if the website still says they don't serve dinner on certain nights, as this might be incorrect.

Gorgeous former convent, sensitively modernised. The retained ecclesiastical features make the buildings quite spectacular. Room temperature ideal. Staff attentive. Extra points for the Jacob's sheep with two lambs in the orchard.

Dinner was excellent, but there was only one vegetarian starter and one vegetarian main course: a curry, which I would not have liked. Fortunately, we didn't want starters, so I was able to adapt the starter as a main, but I do think we should get at least two options. Why not offer a halloumi burger and a bean burger in the grill section? Everything else was first class.

Stanbrook Abbey is a stunning property, set in very spacious grounds on the edge of Worcester. It has been tastefully adapted as a hotel and has a large capacity both as a place to stay and as a wedding or events venue. We stayed one night only, en route to Oxford, and had decided to treat ourselves to one night of luxury in a comfortable place. Stanbrook certainly fit the bill with its attractive adaptation of the old property, retaining many of the original features. Our room was advertised as a ‘feature bedroom’ and whilst it was very nice and comfortable with a very good shower room, overall it was much smaller than I was expecting, having upgraded from a basic double. I’m not sure what the basic would have been like… We had dinner in the restaurant where the food and service were both excellent, as was breakfast the next morning, with a plentiful buffet and good hot meal selection. Overall we have a very comfortable and relaxing stay, albeit a brief one, and would definitely stay again if we wanted to treat ourselves to a similar stay in the area.

The bar staff didn’t seem very knowledgeable or well trained. I tried to order a cream sherry for my wife and not only could they not find any, they didn’t seem to have a clue what sherry was, and offered me the wine list to try to find it there…! I was a bit surprised that an otherwise well stocked bar in a hotel of this calibre didn’t have a bottle of sherry, which is hardly an obscure drink…

Exceptional choice beautifully cooked and presented. Well sized portions with generous sides of needed. The hotel is a treasure retaining so much of the original monastery and convent a fascinating exploring opportunity. Sadly the weather was poor as the gardens are extensive beautifully maintained and would have been lovely for a quiet walk

We would have liked a low level lighting option to enable access to the bathroom at night

From check in to departure our hotel stay was perfect. The staff are fantastic across all areas nothing is too much trouble for them, they actually go above and beyond to enhance your stay with them. Both breakfast and dinner were great. The feature room was fabulous as is the rest of the hotel and grounds, which also has ample parking. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone.

The only thing I didn't like was leaving !

Exceptional in all respects booked via Booking.com. shortly before arrival and secured an advantageous rate. Thank you so much for the upgrade to the Abbas suite to support my wife who has mobility issues. The staff were attentive and welcoming. Cannot fault the hotel in any respect. I just wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the beautiful buildings and parkland surroundings.

Nothing to fault the hotel or staff.
