Hartwell House in Aylesbury Vale

Starting in the spa for their ultimate aromatherapy massage, Christina was absolutely magic! Delicately spoken, she immediately made you feel relaxed. Followed by afternoon tea, in a drawing room all to myself, feeling like royalty. The staff go to lengths to make you feel special and looked after. A special thank you to John (green waistcoat incase there are other Johns lol) who gave me a personal history tour of the house and gardens!

Beautiful historic hotel. Wonderful breakfast with plenty of options; the spa facilities were also great. The staff were wonderful: thank you to Matthew who greeted us, to Joseph who served us dinner and to Molly for the amazing facial.The only criticism would be that it would have been nice to have more vegetarian options for dinner as what was available was very cheese heavy.Thank you again for a lovely stay!

From the moment we arrived in our car and were greeted I knew this was going to be special. I won't spoil the historic elements of the House as that's interesting to read and hear about from the hotel. Our visit was during COVID-19 restrictions so the hotel was only half full as a result you literally felt like you had the house to yourself. Our room was huge and had a mix of original wood panelling and restored but the room was fantastic. The food is best described as excellent both breakfast and dinner have enough choice for everyone. Breakfast consists of a menu with plenty of choice including en excellent cooked breakfast. Dinner has plenty of choice with some local produce used and you can choose 2 or 3 courses. Plenty to choose from the wine list alongsideWe used the spa whilst visiting which includes using the gym (v small ) which has two treadmills, a bike, x-trainer, weights etc. The pool is a decent size and not too deep so most people could stand up without water being above your head. Next to the pool is a jacuzzi which probably can hold 4 to 5 people. Unfortunately the steam room and sauna were not available to guests. Changing rooms, lockers and robes all available and clean. Unfortunately we booked late so spa treatments very limitedService as you would expect is absolutely spot on, nothing is too much trouble. If you want to get away from it all and really wanted to be treated to something special this is the place to come.

I have covered a couple of wedding's at this beautiful and imposing setting. It has very traditional features and fantastic well kept grounds with the added bonus of a river running through the garden! A superb backdrop for wedding photo's. Staff were lovely. Overall its a supurb venue of weddings, events even for a cheeky weekend away Vanessa White (now Crimson Sky Photography) Aston Clinton

We recently visited as day guests for refreshments after a memorial service. We were in the morning room. The decor is charming, the afternoon tea we were served was lively, especially the fruit scones. They catered for vegan and gluten free diners with ease. All in all a very impressive house with attentive staff and good Covid protection policies.

Amazing meal to celebrate my Mums 60th. There were 9 of us, all with slightly different dietary requirements, and they looked after us all. Food was fantastic.

Loved it...I had the best facial with Becky and my sis in law had a body massage 💆‍♀️ and she said it was the nicest one ever!

My mum went for afternoon tea with her friend and absolutely loved it. She said they felt really looked after and everything was top class and very traditional. She's 90 by the way and doesn't do Google reviews which is why I'm doing one! Thank you to everyone at Hartwell House for giving her such a lovely experience 🙂👍

I had the opportunity to organise a conference at the venue this weekend. From the planning pre conference planning to the attentiveness and accommodating attitude of ALL the staff throughout the day; all I can say was the customer service was excellent! It was so good to be welcomed so warmly from the outset, such a homely feel to the venue. I’d be delighted to organise an event there again and will definitely look into arranging a individual stay myself so I can enjoy the spa facilities too. Thank you Hartwell House!😊

Wonderful place for a meal/stay. Staff are really polite and very accommodating. Food is lovely too!Obviously the house is beautiful, so many ornate details, truly exceptional and the grounds surrounding the house are lovely and well kept.Fully recommended for special meals/stays.
