Welbeck Manor and Golf

Whilst visiting Plymouth for a family birthday, we decided to treat ourselves to a more upmarket hotel than our usual choice. I'm pleased to say that Welbeck Manor was everything it promised to be. On arrival, we were greeted by Louise on reception who not only checked us in but showed us to our room and even offered to assist with our luggage - that's definitely a service you don't get in many places these days. We had a lovely, comfortable (and very spacious) room overlooking the golf course and thoroughly enjoyed the excellent breakfast in the morning. I would definitely recommend it for a treat, and the room rates are not over the top for what you get.

Delight to have found this magnificent Manor House for my overnight stays when I’m doing business in the south. It is stunning. Full of luxury, character and history. The whole place is on a grand scale. From the bed to the shower head (and everything in between) it oozes quality. It’s as nice a room as I’ve EVER stayed in. Breakfast was sensational and staff catered for my particular requirements without hesitation. To top it all Welbeck has its own 9 hole Golf Course which, as a keen golfer who needs a LOT of practice, played right into my hands. This is a glorious place to eat, drink and rest and I cannot recommend it highly enough. I clearly benefitted from a mid-week deal as the quality of the place is clearly worth considerably more.

Absolutely brilliant stay. Very helpful and friendly staff. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was delicious. The room was stunning, as was the scenery. Room very comfortable. Tea and coffee making facilities a bonus. Would definitely recommend and stay there again. Thank you to all concerned.

Amazing hotel in a very quiet location but only 15 mins from plymouth The room was large and very luxurious. The meals at the hotel was top class restraunt meals amazing value. All served by very friendly staff we Will definitely be back again if we visit the area

Had dinner here with my family. It’s a lovely venue and I was surprised at how empty it was on a Friday night. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food itself took a little while to come out but I can only assume this is due to the love and attention they were giving it as it was excellent. I had the featherblade of beef which was tender and enhanced by a rich Jus. The rest of the party also enjoyed their food. I would definitely come here again.

Unfortunately, it was not up to the standard we had expected, particularly given the reputation and cost of staying in a suite at the hotel. Check-In Experience Upon arrival, we had to wait for quite some time at check-in without any acknowledgment, apology, or thanks from the staff. The check-in area felt disorganised, resembling a storeroom with chairs scattered everywhere and staff dumping their belongings around us. Bar and Dining When we visited the bar, we were not approached by staff despite them chatting behind the counter. We were informed we could order food upon arrival, only to wait 15 minutes and then be told the kitchen had closed. Considering the hotel's remote location, it’s essential to offer some form of dining throughout the day for guests. Room Issues In our suite, the blind was broken. While a temporary solution was found, it was clear the issue had not been properly addressed, leaving us unable to open the blind. Additionally, the desk lamp had a two-pin plug with no compatible socket nearby, rendering it unusable. There were also no dressing gowns provided in the suite, which was surprising given the cost and the expectation of certain amenities. Parking and Safety The car park and the road leading to it were poorly lit, with no lighting in certain areas. This created a dangerous environment, especially considering the uneven surface of the car park. This lack of lighting raises serious health and safety concerns. Dining Experience While the starters during dinner were acceptable, the mains left much to be desired: - The pork was very tough. - The salmon contained an excessive number of bones. - The turkey portion was small and lacked flavour. At breakfast, we were surprised when we requested juice and fruit and were told it was unavailable. This is a basic offering even at budget hotels like Premier Inn. That said, the cooked breakfast was flavourful and well-prepared. Overall Experience Regrettably, the stay did not meet our expectations. The numerous issues, from check-in to dining and room amenities, made for a disappointing experience. I sent this email to the hotel over a week ago, as I always prefer to go direct to them with issues before coming to trip advisor. Suffice to say, over a week later, and no response which is very disappointing and shows how little this hotel cares for its guests.
