I had a wonderfully peaceful stay at this hotel, highlighted by its stunning Arts and Crafts architecture and spacious rooms. The hospitality was genuine and welcoming, making me feel right at home. However, one downside was some noise from the nearby kitchen that disrupted my early night, but overall, the experience was very satisfying and I can't wait to return.

The Petwood Hotel is a charming destination that beautifully blends history and comfort. With a cozy atmosphere and stunning grounds, it's a delightful place for a getaway. The rooms are exceptionally comfortable, but the dining experience had a few minor inconsistencies. While the service was superb, and you can truly immerse yourself in history, it would be perfect if the dining options were consistently excellent throughout the stay.

I had a delightful stay at this historical hotel packed with WWII memorabilia. The gardens were particularly beautiful, and the ambiance was charming and inviting. The staff were incredibly attentive, and I especially enjoyed the delicious meals offered. However, it would have been nice if the reception had provided clearer directions to our room upon arrival. Overall, it's a unique experience that captured both comfort and history.

The hotel boasts a beautiful garden terrace, perfect for enjoying drinks at sunset, and the historic building is a lovely touch. While the rooms are spacious and clean, my recent experience with the dining service was quite disappointing, particularly during a special occasion. Overall, the hotel has great potential but needs to improve its food service and pricing for events.
