Heythrop Park

A great location. Staff not really switched on and committed

The hotel and grounds are beautiful with many historical features. The food and service was very quick if a little on the catering for numbers side and less bespoke but all enjoyable nonetheless. The clientele was generally of an older generation and their number outweighed the golfers so there was a nice holiday atmosphere. I have booked a return visit for a non golf weekend with my wife.

Hotel was excellent. Very helpful staff. Great food

We stayed at the Warner HeyThrop Park for a Golf Holiday weekend with a group of about 15 players. We all enjoyed our stay and would recommend this venue most definitely.

Excellent standard of accommodation and food is super.

Would have been a really good weekend (sun/Mon) - if the place wasn't closing for a year on the Monday. So yes we played golf - but then had no drink, no food, nowhere to even give prizes as golf club full of staff having goodbye party. Not interested in us, would not allow us to even use any space there so ended up prize giving with dry throats and empty stomachs in a car park!!. Such a shame as food and drink great on the Sunday and course always a challenge. Very poor service on Monday and should never have agreed to have groups if not willing to serve them. Very, very disappointed we were not told in advance. All i got from any staff I asked about situation was a shrug - we are closing, many losing jhobs, why should we care about you.....

Excellent hotel. Only complaint is that I didn't have a fridge in my room, and the one in my mates room didn't work! We advised reception and they said they'd sort it.

Wonderful place, superb food and all served with a smile. Shame the small rooms let the hose down. Very small twin bedrooms. It appears though that the hotel is closing for a year from next week for a £45million refit. Great staff

Modern clean room with good bathroom, walk in shower attached to Grade II House. Staff very helpful. Food needs to improve. Some items at breakfast cold and main meal sauce on chicken like water. Portions small. Course in good condition but long, steep walking. Great for price.

Rooms small for a twin.

The hotel has recently been taken over by Warners Group and is due to close on 1 September for complete refurbishment. Basic maintenance was not being done due to the imminent closure. However, the rooms were clean and comfortable. The food was very good and the staff were attentive and friendly.

We couldn’t fault the accommodation at this hotel. Room was light and airy with a king size bed, large bathroom with both shower and bath.House keeping was to a very high standard.All the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Spa treatments were lovely. Only downside was having to walk through the Manor House to get to the spa. The staff in the spa were also very accommodating and friendly. With our package there was a good selection on the menu for our evening meal and breakfast. Unfortunately for us the fire alarm went off at 03:20am. After following the fire exit signs it took us a while to find the designated fire assembly point. It took quite a while before we saw a member of staff. They told us it was okay to go back into our rooms but we were very surprised they didn’t perform a room/ customer check.

Peaceful location, excellent staff, quality food and great views.

Great hotel, really friendly staff. Highly recommend

Great value for money

The accommodation & food were good There was a problem with getting our 20% discount off bar prices as the Bar Manager said he knew nothing about it. However I resolved that but not before several of our 24 golfers had purchased food & drinks. Special mention to Nick James (reception) & Karl ( restaurant manager ) for helping things go smoothly

Warm and welcoming staff at the front desk: very clean and well presented rooms with very good air con; food was exceptionally good value for money and bar area/outside area excellent for evening activities; didn’t make use of spa facilities but looked to be very good also.

Room size relatively small but every thing you need. Staff very friendly food excellent great suprise to have entertainment on both nights

Very nice hotel with great views. Staff very friendly and efficient. Enjoyed my stay.

Beautiful ‘mansion’ with reasonably sympathetic extensions for the bedrooms. The dinner was excellent and with particularly good service at breakfast. Bedroom spacious, comfortable and large walk-in shower. Complaints - curtains a bit flimsy but I guess that in October you should be awake when it is light. The bloody heating/air con is to noisy and appears to be impossible to switch off - probably user error but it interrupted my sleep!

Small but comfortable rooms in modern extension. Walk-in shower. Tea and coffee in room. Full covid -compliant. Staff courteous and helpful. Very good service in bar and restaurant. Did not use Spa. The Mansion and the setting in 440 acres of Parkland is stunning.

obviously a not normal experience due to Covid but felt that it was being well managed by the hotel and we did feel safe and protected.

Lovely room & facilities.

Very good facilities, food excellent, staff very attentive, very corvid protected.

Obviously with Covid there were restrictions in place and these were well planned and worked well.

Hotel is better than the course. Hotel staff were very nice and accommodating. No complaints

It is unfair to rate the hotel at this time as all conferences had been cancelled, there were only a handful of guests and it was resolving how to react to the Covid-19 problems. That said the staff, without exception, are wonderful and as helpful as can be as they come to terms with a new approach to matters such as waiting at tables. Spa facilities were closed for deep cleaning. Consequently the place lacked atmosphere.

A well appointed hotel with good facilities albeit the leisure centre is separate to the main hotel buildinng.

A good course. Ladies tees were poor in terms of clearly not looked after. Good design of course with plenty of variety.

The course has some great holes making good use of the landscape and the views of the Manor House itself. My low handicap friend scored a very good 78 while off 13 I was a more modest 94. The greens were in great condition, some of the T boxes a bit tatty but it had been a very dry period of weather.There are some long walks including uphills so electric trollies are a blessing. It was very hot when we played so everyone wanted buggies but they didn’t have enough so we walked which was fine but not for a beginner golfer. I would be very happy to book in future to play again.

Golf course was good. Greens very good. Downside was long walk between tees. The pro shop non existent. They double booked buggies on the Sunday, so we we only had one buggy per group. This made it an extremely long walk. You need to be very fit

We all loved the course proved to be a great test of our golfing ability. The Greens were great and speedy the course step up was a good physical and mental challenged. One massive issue was the signage and tee boxes. The Tee boxes looked a little worn. The Signage was confusing on some holes and got players lost could do with a refresh although there is a map of the course on the card not everyone checks the cards. Thanks

Fantastic golf course in a very beautiful landscape. No on course toilet is a nuisance for women especially. Physical walk but so worth it.

Tee boxes need some attention - other than that a good course. Golf still open the year hotel shut - but obviously don't go there for weekend or expect any food, or drink, or service......

Interesting golf course with a layout that snakes around the estate grounds. Some challenging holes especially for shorter hitters. Some very long walks between greens and tees. Signage (next tee) could be improved. Hotel is about to close for 1 year and whilst the course is going to stay open, the pro shop and bar area are all closed so limited facilities.

I think this course really needs a starter. We played 3*18 holes over three days and Thursday and Friday were 4.5 hours and 5.25 respectively. I think some people were teeing off early or late because it was a bit of a slow crawl in places.

The course is a long, long walk! Average length between green and tee must be 200/300 yards (or it seemed it!) The greens were in great condition but very difficult to read all the slopes. Tee boxes poor but no different to most society golf courses. Clubhouse terrible and pro shop almost non existent. Stock up on balls, tees and drinks before you go.

A short drive from the accommodation and not much of a club house, course in good condition, greens and fairways but long walk and very steep in places. Many take buggies, not too tough a challenge some pretty holes but plenty of other resorts to try. Great value for 1 night 2 rounds, hard to beat.

Not enough buggies. Course is very long and tough hills to climb. Well kept course.

The tee boxes were very poor. The route/distance between holes was long and not easy to find in some cases. The tracks were extremely dangerous, with many large potholes and tight corners, one wooden bridge had a large hole in its wooden deck. You definitely need a buggie for your round due to the long trek between green and tee. The greens were very good and true and the scenery was wonderful. The 11th hole had a sewage leak on the left of the fairway right on the line of your tee shot. The buggies were petrol. Overall the course played well and the fairways were good. Our group found it a hard challenge in the very hot conditions.

The course was in fantastic condition and very challenging at times. It’s a long course especially going from green to tee where I would suggest if you were playing two rounds to hire a buggy. There was no starter and unfortunately no halfway house to get drinks. There was a great practice putting, chipping area prior to going out which was good to use. Added to this there were lovely views to admire during your round. Would definitely recommend this package to other golfers.

The golf course is made long by the long walks between holes but is a joy to play. There are buggies and I would recommend one if you are playing two rounds. Eight of us played celebrating a 65th birthday - a great couple of days away on the hottest weekend of the year.

Beautiful course. Every hole is different and interesting. Loved it

Very testing course, good condition

This is a long & difficult course without the hard treks between each tee. No signage to give directions & no boards showing layout of the holes. Even municipal golf courses have provided this facility. If playing over two days as we were a buggy is a must but they have limited available. Otherwise to walk a round is close on 4.5 hours or more if you can't find the next tee. Golf appears to be an after-thought for this venue & needs investment to bring it up to even the most basic club facilities

Very enjoyable couple of rounds over the weekend. Although the course is a long walk and there are some inclines that were a struggle in the muggy heat, the course itself was in very good condition with well cut and maintained fairways and dry conditions. The greens were all very well paced and cut with little to no complaints from our group. A slow round on day 1 but that was more down to our groups than the course being backed up and was much faster on day 2. Would happily go back.

Clubhouse had no golf balls. Bar was not open on Friday! Course is well maintained but rest of the facilities are none existent. Not a great set up for a tour group.

Good greens well defined fairways a real test of your golf with several testing holes. Only spoilt by an old couple not recognising faster groups and their in ability to play at busier times

The course was in a terrible state. I don’t think they manage it very well. I accept the weather has been bad but because they allowed buggies there were skid marks all over the course. When you walked some of the paths because they were covered in water it was like an assault course trying to get through.

Overall some spectacular holes and some beautiful scenery. For a resort course the greens were in pretty good condition. One or two long walks from green to the next tee and some of the tracks/paths were both rough and in some cases very wet. Would think a lovely course in the summer and perhaps this year some green staff had been furloughed!??

An interesting course with some challenging holes - quite long and at times a long walk green-tee. Need to be reasonably fit as in part hilly. Some areas between tees muddy and minor-flooded by recent heavy rain. Sad that the overflowing bins had not been emptied. Despite this set in beautiful scenery and well worth playing especially in good weather. Lovely finishing hole albeit long straight and flat.

given the wet weather experienced just before we visited the course was in good condition- bunkers were considered as GUR by our group as they were unplayable overall enjoyable course

Course was holding up very well considering we played in the middle of Storm Alex. Bunkers were all flooded (GUR) but greens were very good. Enjoyed the 2nd round in drier conditions!

Course was in very good condition although some of the tees were showing signs of wear and some of the greens were being worked on. We had a great time, certainly going back.

Obviously with Covid the club house was not functioning as normal. The course was interesting and challenging, Sadly there was major work going on on the greens with piles of hollow tyne debris and later sand on them. The first day was a reasonable pace but the second day there was a society in which went out in groups of four using buggies. Not experienced players and so the round was very slow...5 hours plus. There was no Marshall to keep things moving along. A beautiful setting for the course.

Two rounds of over 5 hrs each. Very long walks between green to tee. Buggy is a must but have limited numbers, so they are always booked up. Busy course, pack them in and get as much money out of them as possible type of place. Tees were in dreadful condition. Greens were ok. Some really good looking picturesque type of holes but you soon forget about that after 5 hours and your legs giving up on you.

This is a very unfair rating! We played one partial round in rain and a second partial round the following day in good weather but after more rain had fallen. The greens were excellent despite saturation but some fairways were inevitably like paddy fields. The worst aspect though are the pathways which are rough and were deeply puddled and muddied, potentially creating a danger of slipping. I would hope to go back and play it in better conditions as in so may ways it is a really good course.

A lovely course albeit after the recent rain parts of the course were a bit boggy. The greens were true & some very picturesque holes.
