The Elvetham in Hart

Magical! My wife and I are visiting here from Australia and are in love with the beauty and history of this place! Walking the grounds is like stepping back a few centuries - so stunning! The rooms were clean and comfy, staff were helpful and polite (shoutout to Gaz who is very friendly and professional and frequently checked in with us). Don’t leave without going on the recommended walk around the estate, or trying the sweet potato curry. Oh and definitely ask for the book that explains the history of the place in-depth. We’ll definitely be back, only thing wrong is that we didn’t plan to stay longer!

A few weeks ago, we had the absolute pleasure of having our wedding at the Elvetham. We had been planning our 3-day Indian Fusion wedding for more than a year from overseas, and 3 months prior to our wedding, we had an issue with our original venue and had to scramble to get a new location sorted quickly. We were so relieved to find the Elvetham and could not believe that in contrast to our previous venue, how incredibly we were being treated by Holly and the rest of the team. They were very accommodating, thoughtful, and excited to host us.Upon arrival, we were blown away by the architecture, the grounds, and the interiors. The rooms having been recently refurbished, meant that every room was beautiful down to the finishing touches. Our guests were so comfortable, and Gaz and Holly as well as the rest of the staff made the experience one for the books.My husband and I are so grateful that after the hell we had been through with wedding planning, we were able to find such a great place to have our wedding.Thank you, most sincerely, for the incredible treatment!

We stayed there for three nights. I liked the location, the house, the interior, the quality of itself but the service has to improve. The most attentive persons were the girl at the bar who gave me a little history lesson about the hotel and the housekeeping team :) Nevertheless a nice stay! We´d come back!

A lovely place to get away too. There is a 5km walk that takes you through fields and luckily we got to see deer, cows and lots of interesting birds and insects. It's a lovely hotel and the staff are friendly and helpful. There were two weddings which took place whilst we were there and the setup of the halls and gardens were superb. There were tennis courts there and plenty of parking too.

Stunning building and beautiful grounds and lovely clean modern equipped rooms. But the service and attention by staff in the restaurant and bar was very substandard and doesn't match it's 4 star rating. Despite that we really enjoyed our stay purely because of the location.

Very poor service. Young, friendly staff but noone in charge overseeing them. One of the bar staff was too young to open a bottle of wine!Most guests were sitting outside having a drink but the staff seemed unable to serve us out there. This area was very close to the bar and we had to go in to order our drinks, finding the bar empty of customers and 3 bar staff inside! Outside furniture broken and dirty and no cushions... very neglected! Not what you would expect for the prices of the rooms.Noisy room, could hear people downstairs once we'd gone to bed and could hear a man snoring next door! Don't stay in Room 103!Beautiful building, amazing gardens but we were very disappointed and won't be back.

My friend bought me a voucher for afternoon tea for my birthday which we had today. I booked it weeks ago requesting a gluten free option for mine.My gf tea was very different to my friend’s, she had 6 finger sandwiches where I had 4, she had a big selection of cakes where I had what looked like a shop bought finger of carrot cake cut into 3 squares and a finger of brownie cut into 3. The scones were nice but my cream was off and had to be changed.Both teas cost the same but mine was really underwhelming compared to hers which was so disappointing from a fine hotel.

The venue itself is fabulous absolutely stunning. Our room was lovely just a shame the view was of roofs. However what does let this hotel down is the staff. Barman was more interested in putting on the lights than serve us. Breakfast staff totally untrained we watched a family wait 10 minutes while 3 different members of staff cleared & reset the table! We had to ask twice to set a further place at our table. We then had to ask for coffee no one came round asking us or anyone else if we wanted tea or coffee. No one to greet you at the restaurant & although the cooked breakfast was ok it took the staff ages to refill the items & although breakfast went on until 10.30am by 10am there was hardly anything left. Such a shame as the lack of trained staff are letting down this otherwise amazing venue

Had a very enjoyable stay and would definitely return. We had a half board package.Room: our room was spacious and luxurious. The bed was indeed firm but it was no issue (even for me who prefers a softer mattress). The only minor issues were that there was no fresh milk in the room despite having a fridge (only whitener in the hospitality tray) and the shower in the morning never quite became hot enough, though it wasn't so cold that my partner couldn't shave. Our views were lovely and the room was very quiet.Grounds/Hotel: absolutely gorgeous. We did the 3km walk which wasn't hugely scenic, but was very nice to have on the doorstep. The bar and restaurant were lovely with views to die for.Service: there were some minor issues and lack of attention to detail. Many staff seemed to be new and quite nervous. We were surprised no one asked if we'd like help with our bags to the second floor (no lift). Though this wasn't an issue for us, for some it might be a challenge!Food: However, at dinner, they were very attentive, particularly when I mentioned my allergy and the dinner in the evening was outstanding. Breakfast was acceptable but as with most buffets, the food could have been hotter. The coffee was very weak and we weren't offered milk at the table.Overall, we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again as it's very good value for money, but there are a few minor issues preventing it from being an exceptional hotel.

Stayed as a family of four and couldn't have enjoyed it more!Steeped in rich history, adorned in paintings, carvings, stained glass windows and beautiful countryside. The children were fascinated by the connection to Royalty and loved exploring the hotel and grounds.Leo, the Reception Manager, was amazing! He bent over backwards to make the children feel welcome. Thank you Leo :-)We have already booked to come back next New Year's Eve! Thank you for making it such a special weekend and thanks to all the staff who were working on New Years Eve and Day!
