"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"

"We've often eaten here and had excellent food and service. Until this week. We booked for lunch and our waitress organised drinks very promptly before taking our order. I asked for scampi with a salad, avoiding chips and we also asked for garlic bread to share. When our food arrived, I had scampi and chips with a bowl of salad and no sign of the garlic bread. The waitress suddenly realised I hadn't ordered chips but I said that was OK as my husband would eat them. Despite reminding her about the garlic bread, it never arrived. Our waitress was quiet and efficient, and busy with new arrivals as the restaurant began to fill. We eventually decided it was pointless asking about the garlic bread and finished the meal with tiramisu. The bill duly arrived and in the absence of garlic bread, she offered to take off the service charge. We decided, as the majority of the meal had been fine, to ask for only half of it to be deducted. I think my main problem was with the manager. Although he was there, he didn't deal with any of this problem. He seemed to be fine with going around the tables and chatting to regular customers, but in the matter of the missing garlic bread and the chips I had not ordered, he left the waitress to deal with the problem and didn't even look at us when we left. In many places we have eaten, the manager will normally speak to customers and not leave his staff to face an unhappy diner. Popular eateries don't only rely on their food, their service is just as important, and unfortunately it felt as if no one really cared. Sadly we've eaten our last meal there and won't be coming back."
