We stayed here while attending a wedding at Harwood Golf Club, which is nearby. I can’t say that I loved how our cottage executive room looked but it might just be not to my taste and it was cosy, well equipped and clean and the bed was very comfy and the shower was nice and strong. I didn’t have time to take a photo while the bed was neat so that looked better than our photo when we arrived.
The dressing gowns had seen better days and were a bit stiff with some threads hanging off. There weren’t any slippers provided. So it’s good to remember something to go to the spa in.
I don’t know if we were unlucky with the people staying above but we could hear them walking around above almost all night. We couldn’t however hear voices luckily.
Check in and check out were at good times and although we were out the afternoon and night before we had time to visit the swimming pool and thermal area before we checked out. This was a lovely facility to have. It’s not the prettiest or most well equipped but still a nice one with a good amount of thermal experiences.
There are also family changing rooms which is great.
I can’t comment on the food as we didn’t eat while we were there.
The appearance of the communal areas and building exteriors are lovely.
The staff we spoke to were very nice and we were asked how our stay was at check out.
We would definitely stay here again given the price and the spa facilities, that we didn’t explore everything and that it is close to home.

Our check-in experience was excellent — the staff were attentive and ensured our dinner and breakfast reservations were confirmed, along with verifying our spa booking. This level of organisation was much appreciated and set a positive tone for our stay.
The bar, however, was quite busy and appeared slightly understaffed. Despite there being no one else waiting apart from my partner and me, service was slow and the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed or disorganised.
Dinner in the evening was enjoyable overall, though the presentation could be elevated — the steak was good, but it was served with a rather underwhelming pile of chips. A more refined accompaniment would have enhanced the dining experience. That said, the atmosphere and staff were both lovely.
The spa and pool facilities were excellent and exactly what we were hoping for as we were celebrating a promotion. Our room was spacious and the bed very comfortable, though we found the TV to be quite small for the size of the room, and the lighting somewhat limited — but this comes down to personal preference.
Unfortunately, breakfast and check-out slightly diminished our overall impression. While we understand it was a busy morning and that a wedding was taking place (which, to your credit, was managed discreetly), the breakfast portion was surprisingly small with just two pieces of bacon, a single hash brown, and mushrooms that did not appear to be pan-fried. Service at breakfast was lacking, with no staff checking in to ask if everything was satisfactory. There was also a long queue for toast, and limited space around the fruit and drinks area, which created some unnecessary congestion.
Lastly, our check-out experience was impersonal. Unlike the warm welcome at check-in, the receptionist did not make eye contact or inquire about our stay. They simply took the keys and wished us a good day.
While the overall experience was not bad, particularly thanks to the spa and the friendly staff we encountered during check-in and dinner. The service inconsistencies and lack of attention to detail during peak times would make us hesitant to return.

We have stayed at the Last Drop about 20 times in the last couple of years because it is in a convenient location when visiting family. Our latest stay was on a Sunday evening.
Due to the 'village' theme the design of the bedrooms varies considerably in terms of size, furnishing and bathrooms. Sometimes we have been lucky and been allocated a large room with comfortable seating within the main building but on this occasion we were in a courtyard room on the second floor which involved walking a short way outside in the rain (not a problem). We've been in these rooms before and they are on the small side but are perfectly adequate for one or two nights and they have the big advantage of a walk in shower rather than having to step over the side of a bath. As usual the bed was comfortable and we slept well.
Previously when we have stayed we have dinner in the Courtyard restaurant which offered a varied menu and reasonable prices, we've generally had a very good experience - good food, great service and a reasonable wine menu. This time we booked DB&B as usual and were advised that this gave us an allowance of £30 each towards dinner.
When we arrived at the restaurant we found that the name of the restaurant had changed to the Clocktower (even though all the signage still says Courtyard) and the menu has changed drastically. It now largely only offers steaks at eye wateringly high prices (fillet for £48, rib eye £38 etc. and £4 for a sauce) which are about £15 more than I would normally expect to pay. Apart from steaks there were only 4 other options - lobster thermidor (£39), tuna steak, chicken breast and cannelloni.
Faced with such a pathetically small choice we both opted to for rib eye steaks with peppercorn sauce. One of the steaks was good quality (as you would expect at this price) and cooked medium rare as requested but the other one wasn't as good and was difficult to cut through. They came with fries and a pile of vine tomatoes (I've no idea who came up with the idea that these ever go with steak even if they look nice).
For only 2 meals and a bottle of wine I ended up paying the ridiculous sum of £114 in total and one didn't even enjoy their food - ridiculous.
Breakfast was great, cooked to order and of a high quality (especially the bacon).
Service throughout the hotel was to the same high standard as it has always been with helpful and friendly staff.
We'll stop here again but there is no way I will have an evening meal due to extortionate cost and the lack of choice.

I have just returned from a four day stay at this hotel.
Hotel very clean, beautiful location and delicious food.
Franco the restaurant manager is a delight. Very attentive, efficient and always happy to check we were ok. The restaurant staff were mainly young and coped well with busy meal times. The lady supervisor who worked in the breakfast room on the morning of 11th Sept was under a lot of stress getting breakfast for 60 people about to depart the hotel. She remained really calm and kept a smile on her face. She is definitely an asset to the hotel.
My only complaint was the price of the drinks. £28.45 for a bottle of wine seems extremely expensive. We would of gone out a lot more to the delightful little pub on site if the drinks were slightly cheaper.
All in all I would definitely recommend a visit to this hotel.

Hotel was lovely and clean . Our bedroom was very pleasant , very helpful staff. Grounds are beautiful. Would be happy to visit again .
We only booked for a single person but then I decided to join at the last minute . They waived the difference which was very nice of them. Nice to see staff turned out nicely and helpful. Would be happy to recommend . Would like to have had tissue in the room, when turning on the hot tap pump made a loud noise . Over all a good experience.

Ok so we booked the Twilight package for our anniversary for £100. You don't get robes or slippers, you can pay extra for slippers only which was weird. The hot tub has broken buttons to press for bubbles, looks outside onto the car park, hills in distance. Several nice sauna rooms available but salt room smelled strongly of urine and drains. Pool ok. Meal included in a pub. It was very basic and rough. I'm gluten and dairy free and could only eat plain salad starter and ham and chips main, no pud, despite me ringing ahead. Husband said cheese pie ok. We made the best of the experience but definitely not luxurious.
