"This is a beautiful hotel in a fantastic historic building. The hotel is situated in the middle of a golf course with lovely grounds around the hotel. The restaurant overlooks the impressive gardens of the hotel with a view down a valley for many, many miles. The staff were excellent, especially Marc in the restaurant who was extremely knowledgeable about the local events and where to visit he was also very friendly. All this took place in a difficult period with the Covid19 outbreak in full flow.
Due to restrictions they were only able to offer the bar/bistro menu rather than the Al a Carte menu but this food was top notch and very well cooked."
The 4-star Hallmark Hotel The Welcombe is set in 157 acres of Italian-style landscaped gardens on the outskirts of Stratford-upon-Avon. The Grade II-listed Jacobean-style hotel, which was originally built in 1886, features an oak-panelled lounge with a large fireplace, and some of the rooms feature 4-poster beds.
The property is around 10 minutes' drive from Stratford-upon-Avon, a historic market town and the famed birthplace of William Shakespeare. The town is home to The Royal Shakespeare Theatre, the Swan Theatre and the scenic River Avon.
Warwick Castle is less than 15 minutes' drive away, and Anne Hathaway's Cottage -- a picturesque timbered farmhouse that was the childhood home of Shakespeare's wife -- is in the nearby village of Shottery, about a mile west of Stratford-upon-Avon.
The edge of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is around 20 minutes' drive from the hotel, while Birmingham city centre is around 45 minutes' drive away.
The hotel restaurant offers a contemporary take on classic country-house cuisine, and has views of the gardens where, weather permitting, guests can dine al fresco on the hotel's terrace. Breakfast is usually served buffet-style on weekends, with a plated service during the week, although this is subject to availability.
As well as an 18-hole golf course, facilities include a spa with an indoor swimming pool, a health club with a gym, and a range of health and beauty treatments (extra charges apply).
Superior and Executive Rooms are more spacious than Classic Rooms. Wi-Fi is free.

located not far from town centre, staff friendly, limited meal choice due to cover 19, limited guess, hotel dated but stunning building, needs cash input and good clean. Towels stored in outside shed with damaged and open roof so birds etc can have access to, shed doors to same left open!!! nice gardens, although also need sorting now most of which is golf course. Front access parking has water leak and reduced space due to same. Shame lovely staff on 0 contracts, glorious building that needs looking after, inside tired and dated :(

Stayed here many times and do love it, although the rooms are very varied. This time ours was on the poky side and very hot which had obviously been mentioned before as they had left a temporary air conditioning unit in it. The spa is a real treat but breakfast was a bit disappointing. A few healthier options like granary bread, avocado or a better selection of fruit would be appreciated. Stunning location though and always feels special.

The staff are very welcoming and helpful. Unfortunately we had to move from our original, comfortable room because of the intermittent sound of either airconditioner or plumbing coming from the vent above the entrance to the bathroom, which we feared might keep us awake. We were offered a choice between 2 other rooms, the one we chose being comfortable although smaller. Sleep quality was enhanced by the firm mattress, but we did have the bin collectors outside the next morning. The dinner was delicious and well presented, and breakfast provided us with a great choice of fruits, breads, cereals and cooked options. Worthy of special mention is the swimming pool and gym: really clean and modern, a pleasure to use.

This was our first visit to the Welbourne. We had a lovely welcome and the deal we had with meals included and a bottle of wine as well as use of spa facilities was excellent value. Our room was nicely decorated and furnished in keeping with the building which had such character. We had an additional dressing room which created more space. The food was delicious with a good choice and the breakfast was tasty with a good variety. The spa facilities were the best we have had in a Hallmark hotel- clean with lots of choice of swimming, jacuzi, hot pool open to the elements, sauna and steam room. It was my husbands Birthday and he even had a card and chocolates in the room. Everything was excellent and we would definitely return. Stratford is only a mile away which is great location wise.

The only problem is it's now getting a bit tired. For example in our room the hair dryer , heated towel rail and bedside light did not work. The tiles in the spa area have been re-grouted in places but "bodged up", missing tap in the changing rooms, old and sad looking lockers, rust around pole in jacuzzi.
Please Welcombe hotel, keep your maintenance up too date, this is such a lovely hotel with beautiful grounds aswell.

Located 2 miles outside of the town. Confusing signage as both the golf course and hotel called Hallmark. But with two separate road entrances and a long drive without being able to see these buildings. On eventually locating the hotel was allocated a bedroom on the top floor, no lift and it had no view. Got it changed to a Garden view room and excellent, although a long walk back to reception etc. The house is a magnificent old pile. Lovely and warm with huge public rooms. Food was very good. The Travelzoo deal bottle of Prosecco was very welcome after all that walking!

We needed to change rooms because of stairs however the rooms available offered were not as nice as the first original one allocated for us. The reception staff were the most helpful I have ever encountered so friendly and willing to please a rarity these days. We did move back to the first room which was spacious and modern having a very large bed compared to the older rooms. I put up with the stairs to have a nicer room.

My sister & I have just spent a Spa weekend at The Welcombe - from the time we arrived at-check in to check-out we had an amazing time!! We couldn't fault a thing - the room, staff, food were excellent & the staff in the Spa were so friendly & helpful.
We loved everything about our stay but I think the Spa & walking in the beautiful grounds were my favourite! Would definitely go again & am in the process of booking for my son & his girlfriend as a Christmas present.
I would just like to say a huge thank you to the reception staff for all their help in looking for my sisters Satnav that we thought she had lost - luckily we found it tucked under a seat in the car :).
Many thanks again

Very relaxing weekend easy to get to Stratford town centre. Very helpful and friendly staff. Comfortable room with plenty of space and the hotel had wonderful gardens and lovely views.

The only disappointment was the food. The food served in the restaurant wasn’t as hot as it could have been. The eggs at breakfast were also cold, they did offer to re do them, but they were just as bad. Probably having cold plates didn’t help. They seriously need to re think how they can keep the buffet food hot. It was a shame as everything else was brilliant.

Beautiful setting and building, lovely ambience and friendly staff. Food also very good in restaurant. We booked a standard double room but were upgraded to an executive room, with a four poster bed and views overlooking the garden, fabulous. Can’t wait for our next visit, will probably be in September.

Staff helpful approachable only complaint TZ advert is misleading it says inclusions count for each day booked but it doesn't you get breakfast each day but only one bottle of prosecco per stay regardless your ad needs to state that.

The room was unbearably hot no opening windows and a very noisy fan we were obliged to use - also a used sock. Ot belonging to us was in the folded bed cover - insufficient trained staff

we had a lovely time, facilities excellent as was the position about a mile from Stratford-upon Avon town centre. Spa facilities wonderful. Only comment on the room was maybe in need of decoration, but clean,tidy and spacious. Breakfast was a buffet and good choice but hot food not hot enough, needed hot plate for eggs! Otherwise ambience was lovely. Staff always helpful, welcoming and with a smile. Will go back when in need of a hotel in the area.

1. Only 3 very small containers of Semi Skimmed milk. Not enough for 2 people.
2. Only 2 very small containers of shampoo.
3. No lift available.
4. Table arrangement for a couple in the Dining room was such that only one person could look out at
the garden.
5. No Salt & Pepper in the pots on the Dining table!
6. No Dressing Gowns in bedroom. You had to pay extra for this!
7. No identification between Shampoo /Shower Gel in Changing room of Spa.
8. Abrupt attitude of Staff in Spa. Not Customer orientated at all.
9. Some of the locks broken on the doors to the lockers in Spa Changing room.

Good reception on arrival, view from room was lovely
Customer service in the bar was patchy - We were left to open our own prosecco which wasn't a problem but unexpected. Waiters perhaps need a bit more training but were perfectly pleasant all the same

the settling of the bill in the restaurant was not made clear to me on requesting the bill.
at the table, our bill came to 85.00.
less the 35.00 per head allowance- I paid an additional 15.00 to settle the bill -plus 15.00 tip, at the table.
On checking out I was represented with the additions at the table, 15.00.
I did not challenge the bill as I couldn't be bothered over 15.00.
the sirloin steak in the restaurant at 26.00 was a joke and they need to get a handle on that one.
the pool was out of use on Saturday afternoon until Sunday morning.
It was a shame really because of the above, otherwise, it would have been very good.
thanks

Generally, we enjoyed our stay at The Welcombe. Our first visit was 44years ago on our honeymoon, it was grander then and less dusty! Lovely surroundings. Our room was ok but the hotel could do with a bit of refurbishment. The evening meal was very good. Little things were disappointing such as, at breakfast the plates were cold so the food went cold very quickly.

Receptionist and other staff were very good. The bed very comfortable. We had breakfast in the room and the full English portions were smaller than we’ve received in other hotels.

The windows in the bedroom opened but would not stay open due to broken cords. The toilet had a very poor flush. Windows needed cleaning & blinds required attention.

Rooms clean and tv did have some paid channels. Our room was in the basement of one wing but limited access meant you had to go up 2 flight of stairs and long walk. Buffet breakfast ok. Reception staff in Spa unwelcoming. Limited access for walking around extensive grounds due to private golf course.

We enjoyed our stay, we had an upgrade to an executive room which was roomy and comfortable. Dinner was very good, though the choices rather limited. It's a shame that breakfast is buffet, eggs were barely warm. The staff are friendly and helpful.
