The Elvetham Hotel, The Library

A massive shoutout to Barry, Jenny, Janet and Shane. Without these 4 people, we wouldn't have had the incredible weekend that we did. My daughters wedding was held at the Elvertham and once we arrived to the venue for the weekend we knew we were in the safest of hands. Janet worked 2 hours over her shift to ensure the rooms were all ready and everyone was catered for. Barry looked after us impeccably and went above and beyond the entire weekend to ensure it ran smoothly. Jenny went to extreme measures to keep the day running smoothly, made sure my daughter ate on her wedding day and was the loveliest member of the team! Shane looked after us all the next morning for breakfast, ensured we had enough seats for all the family and kept food coming all morning! This team really does make the hotel was it is and deserve all the praise we can give them. Thank you!

The building and grounds are doing all the heavy lifting. There’s no doubting the beauty of the building and location. The rooms are all very well appointed, clean etc The hotel and especially the catering is missing a beat. The room, although attractive,. Cheap coffee and a lack of shower gel in the shower. There is expensive looking shampoo, condition and body lotion but not the one thing you’re most likely to actually use. The same goes for whoever is managing the morning breakfast. Things were missing from the buffet (empty sausages and bacon!?!), no glasses with the juice, no butter (or spread) with the toaster. There was some hidden away. The staff were all helpful but they appear to be swimming uphill against some really poor catering management. I was told they were “busy” and we’d have to wait for a table for 4. Upon viewing there were loads of empty tables that were waiting to be reset. That’s catering management skills - entry level. When we were waiting, we were forgotten. Lovely place and very pretty, I expected much better.
