We had a lovely stay at Bartley lodge. Beautiful manor house on lovely grounds. Good value and good size family rooms. We loved that the pool had long opening hours. We had dinner onsite one night which was delicious and kids menu too.

The hotel was ok. I found the staff friendly and helpful. For us the downside was the restaurant. The staff missed things off when we ordered the food.

A relaxing short stay

Nice old style building with themed decoration and preserved older features. The swimming pool was clean and ideal temperature. However, probably due to the size and age of the property the water pressure in the room was very low (for shower, basin and toilet). We knew it was a small (snug) room when we booked but it was adequate for our 3 night stay.

Beautiful hotel but needs wider evening menu.

Lovely hotel with great staff. Would like to see a great range of food on the menu and more regular servicing of the number of towels in the pool.

Unpleasantly surprised

"Single beds" turned out to be a sofa bed and a space saving temporary frame with mattress. Tap for shower was broken. It took speaking to three members of staff to get cooked breakfast premium refunded as it was not needed. What was surprising and quite shocking was that the staff seemed disinterested with resolving the situation. It's a shame as the building and grounds are really quite impressive.

The lack of maintenance is everywhere!

We stay in this hotel a couple of times a year en route to Poole, each time we see no maintenance whatsoever. Everywhere is tatty, the shower in room 20 doesn’t work, the room was roasting hot, and there are 2 outside lights on all night directly above the 2 windows. We had to stuff towels along the curtain pole to try and block it out. The furniture is very cheap tatty pine. The bed and sheets were very comfy though, I’ll give good marks for that. The bedside light doesn’t work. No headboard. We couldn’t complain as it was 11pm when we got to the room, and we left before 6am. No toiletries in the room at all. This hotel should be stunning, but I’d be so disappointed if I’d booked a nice break, every footstep creaks and doors bang!! Sorry but we shall find somewhere else from now on!

This hotel has a beautiful location . The room was lovely and very clean. Staff were fabulous in particular the receptionist. The only down fall was the waiting time for food in the restaurant, the food itself was lovely . Would also be nice if there was a separate dining area for families , as felt a little under pressure when dining with kids

The location is convenient and grounds very nice. The building is clean, but you can tell it’s a bit tired around the edges. Has has had some money spent in areas to improve it, but needs a little more to improve the overall feel. Great pool and this was a definite highlight. Didn’t find the reception staff to be friendly, and they seemed fairly disorganised.

A tale of two halves

We were greeted by a lobby of moaning guest, which didn't bode well. We were checked in quickly and our room was ok. The bed was very comfortable. The room was very hot and lots of cobwebs on windows and in corners. Dinner service was not good. We were seated for two hours for two courses. Very slow. I overheard a waitress swearing under her breath after a guest had asked for something, which was disappointing. The pool was lovely and warm. Breakfast was good. Reception in the morning was exemplary. Great friendly service. Couldn't do enough.

Coffin would have been more comfortable

Room smelled. Bed was so hard just like sleeping on the floor think a coffin would have been more comfortable and the booking said 1 king size bed and a single bed we got neither only had a double bed and the duvet wasn’t big enough to cover the both of us. Shower screen didn’t keep the water where it should be. It was so nosy people kept slamming doors right through the night. We are never going to stop here again.

I stayed at Bartley Lodge Hotel for four nights over my birthday weekend, and while the location and atmosphere were beautiful, several issues left us disappointed. Starting with the positives: the architecture of the hotel is absolutely stunning, and the interior design is just as charming. The location is fantastic—perfect for exploring nearby national parks and lovely local pubs, especially if you have children or a dog with you. A particular highlight was the dinner at the hotel restaurant—it was genuinely one of the best meals I’ve ever had. However, there were quite a few negatives during our stay. Upon check-in, I was informed it would cost £60 for my dog to stay, which felt very steep. We also forgot our toothbrushes and toothpaste and waited at reception for 26 minutes around 10 p.m. to ask for some, but no one ever showed up. Breakfast was another letdown—it cost nearly £17 per person, and unfortunately, the quality didn’t match the price. The buffet condiments were frequently empty, and we had to keep asking staff to replenish basic items. Speaking of staff, it was often difficult to get through to reception via phone, and on one of the days, there was no water in the room to shower or wash. After calling multiple times with no response, I went down in person, only to find no one there either. Our room was uncomfortably hot, even with the window open and the fan on. When we sat outside for drinks in the garden, all the tables were dusty and dirty, and it was cle

Dissapointed

I was a little dissapointed with our stay. We booked this place as we were visiting peppa pig world but wanted somewhere a little nicer to stay than the local holiday inn. Upon arrival we were informed there would be no house keeping during our stay, this meant we'd ran out of tea bags on the first morning and both the bins were overflowing as we were staying with out 3 year old. We had no soap, shower gel or shampoo in our room, i did try to ask at the front desk but gave up. We had an issue with our bath on the first night, the plug wouldnt release to drain the water. We had to get staff up to the room to remove the plug and the following day they provided a new plug but it was too large to fit in the hole so we couldnt fill the bath up the next time. We had dinner in the hotel restaruant on our first night where the service was poor. We had booked a table but they didnt have a record of it. I order ateak rare and it was more medium/well. We ordered a round a drinks with one of the staff and after 15 minutes had to reporder as there was 'no record on the till' Our room was also over the washing machines so we were woken up fairly early to thrumming of the washing machines which was very loud in the room. All of this is a shame as the hotel and gardens are very beatiful and would otherwise make for a lovely stay.

Great stay & conveniently close to the theme park!

We had a great stay at Bartley Lodge after visiting Peppa Pig world inside Paultons Park Family of four: two adults and two kids age 3 and 7 - both autistic so they are loud and a bit restless waiting, but we felt welcome and comfortable during our stay. The lady managing the dining room brought them colours and books for the table to play with as the conservatory had less WiFi signal for watching cartoons. Great breakfast options really filling and fresh including the usual familiar cereal and toast and juice The room was comfortable, with enough space for all of us. The children were provided with fold out mini-beds that were made up with bedding. They slept comfortably. Our bed was comfortable and cosy The bathroom had a bath with a shower over the top. Soap and shower gel provided with big thick towels. The only thing missing was a wash cloth but we made do We were quite warm in the night but we did not want to leave the window open while we slept incase the children tried to climb through (traditional lift-up window). The grounds were beautiful and we had short walk around in the morning to say hi to the sheep and cows roaming the fields which was a lovely touch Overall it was a lovely stay and we would come again and recommend it to friends and family wanting to stay in the area.

They tried, and sometimes failed.

Here’s the thing, this is an absolutely beautiful establishment. Everything about it is gorgeous and you feel like you are in Bridgerton. But the weekend I spent there was overshadowed by the fact that I am fairly certain half the staff were new to the job, not inly to this establishment, but to hospitality. I don’t know which one of them were the manager, but I hope they are aware they are doing a horrible job. The staff were disorganised, and they were absolutely horrible trained. It was constantly up to the guest to point out things that the staff should notice. If you, whatever job you have, walk past trash or dishes/glass, take them with you! Check that everything in the room works. When you walk through the buffet, check if anything is empty and refill it. And for heaven’s sake, if something is delayed, let the guests now. Everyone was really polite, very nice, as people they were amazing. And they did try, it just felt like they had no idea what to do most of the time and was just milling around until someone pointed out stuff to them. Or you couldn’t find anyone at all, which when I assume they had a staff meeting doing rock, paper, scissors to figure out who had which job. But this can luckily be fixed and I hope it will, because it’s way to pretty of a place to be treated like that.

Characterful property, though the most interesting downstairs spaces didnt seem to have much function - it felt like they were a corridor to the restaurant. We were in a modern ground floor room - pleasant but some fittings looked a bit tired. There was no aircon. We were charged almost £100 for dinner for 2 (without wine). Food ok but not special - i was not even offered a bread roll with my soup. Most other diners seemed to be families with rather noisy children - overall it felt somewhere between fine dining and a holiday camp. At check in i was pressed to book and pay for breakfast, which i did. Next morning i was told by restaurant staff that they had no record of my booking
