"We stayed here ten years ago and thought it was wonderful and worth every penny. We were so excited to return, but really Disapointed. The grounds are lovely and we were pleased with our room. The children loved the outdoor space and the pool What really let us down was the food and service. There was no luxury here. The family dining choices were poor. The children's meal was bad one had fish gougons and sweet potato fries which were very salty. The other two had pizza, the small was served as half a pizza, the large was a conventional round shape. Both were shop bought bases (cardboard) with grated Cheddar on the top. Something I would not feed them at home let alone expect in a supposedly high end dining. My husband's steak was chewy. My main, whole plaice with creamed potatoes, the potato was served in a ceramic dish and it was cold. It was taken away and then took ten minutes to return by which point I had eaten the fish. The food was incredibly expensive considering how poor the offerings were. The next day we ate a very late lunch in Bath so we would not have to eat at the hotel. The breakfast buffet area had some nice items but was really understocked and allowed to run to empty. The staff functioned but not at a steady rate, we found the service slow and the staff disinterested. Such a contrast to our previous visit. The person in charge we found sullen and felt as if our presence was an inconvenience. When we walked through to the dining areas we would hop out of the staff'so way for fear of being bulldozed. When we left the receptionist was polite but did not ask if we enjoyed our stay. A week later I had an email to complete a survey and nobody got in touch despite the same feedback as given here. Very dispointing. Lovely room and surroundings but poor food and poor attitude from staff. Last year we stayed in a hotel that cost 65% less than Wooley Grange and had a much better experience."

"I never really write reviews but after my experience here I had to! my husband and I came here on a whim on a Tuesday as most pubs around the area are not open on this day which left us bummed out and hungry. was surprised to walk in and have a lovely young lady named Tara to come to take us on for lunch. the pub did seem a little short-staffed for the number of people in the establishment but she handled it great regardless and still greeted everyone with a big smile and had good knowledge of the beers on draft such as the 2 local ales which I was very impressed by. even offering 'tasters ' before we bought a pint. she even took the time to talk to us, asking about how our week had gone and made us feel very comfortable whilst dining here. the food was great, can not fault it in the slightest, wish we could 've had room for pudding! The only thing I would say is that it does look like more staff is needed as the poor lady did seem to be doing everything, taking and bringing out food and drink our as well as ensuring all customers are happy but all in all was very smooth and food was brought out in about 20-30 minutes which we couldn 't complain at! I would definitely visit again just to experience such great service, we were told that other days of the week they do offer a larger menu as Tuesdays unfortunately, is a limited menu and I would be eager to try the haddock scotch egg which the waitress spoke about."

"A Lackluster Indian Takeaway Experience at Akash I feel compelled to share my experience with Akash Indian Takeaway, especially considering my wife's Indian background and our high hopes for a satisfying meal for her parents, who were visiting from Delhi. While we understood that we couldn't expect an authentic gourmet Indian feast in Wiltshire, we were still left disappointed by the overall lack of spice, flavour, and seasoning in the food. It seemed as if the restaurant missed the memo on the essence of Indian cuisine. We ordered a variety of dishes, hoping for an enjoyable culinary journey. However, each one fell short of expectations. The lack of understanding of spice and seasoning was evident in every bite. The food seemed uninspired and failed to capture the vibrant flavors that make Indian cuisine so beloved. It was disheartening to discover that even with our low expectations, Akash couldn't deliver a satisfying taste experience. To emphasise the disappointment, my father-in-law took matters into his own hands and cooked a curry at our AirBNB using the few scraps we had around the house and next to no spices. Surprisingly, his homemade creation surpassed the flavors and richness of the entire meal we ordered from Akash. I assure you, I'm not saying this just to earn brownie points—it genuinely highlights the stark contrast in taste and quality. To be fair, there were a couple of positives in this experience. The food arrived promptly, still hot, and the prices were relatively affordable. These factors, however, pale in comparison to the overall lack of flavour and authenticity that we had hoped for in an Indian takeaway. In conclusion, if you're seeking a lackluster Indian-inspired soup experience, Akash may meet your expectations. However, if you're in search of a truly flavorsome culinary adventure with the taste and texture that Indian cuisine is renowned for, I would suggest looking elsewhere. Akash left us wanting more, and we were ultimately left unsatisfied with the overall quality of the food. Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £10–20 Food: 2 Service: 4"

"When I walked in I was greeted by Tian she made me feel really welcomed and then took the time to not only walk me across the road to my beautiful room at the hotel but also explained things to me on to get in and out. When I went in the room it’s awesome and reminded me of a stay I had in Paris. There was little nice things, bottles of water on the side, a coffee and tea box with loads of coffee bags, loads of milks (instead of the usual 2 that you get in most hotels which is never enough) cookies and twyingins tea. The power shower was great and it was lovely and clean and the beds were great sank right in them. I’m the bathroom was little niceties like soaps, shower gels which had ginsing in (it’s the little things right) I then went to the restaurant after a shower and Tania had booked me a table in the corner right by the fire (she recognised I was a single guy by myself got me a lovely quiet table with a bench seat) I had a steak, with pepper corn sauce skinny fries, peas with garlic butter and garlic bread with cheese. There was a great selection of real ales and ciders (I’m a cider drinker) She kept checking on me to make sure everything was ok tbh she was rushing around like r2d2 and had everything in hand. Great place and I will be staying again. P.s rooms are great and plenty enough space (I’m 6ft 4” and never bumped my head once haha Rooms: Really nice and absolutely 5 stars, read the review Safety: Read the review. Beautiful and safe"
