Lovely setting - lovely to stay in such an old building but facilities in our room were tired. Shower was so hot you couldn't shower. Windows didn't shut properly, TV didn't work.

Excellent location. Stayed in same room November 2024 and reported plumbing problem. This was still evident on our recent visit. Had to ask 3 times to get our room serviced which was not done on 1st day. Plentiful breakfast but problem with keeping it warm. (dont like cold scrambled egg!) Breakfast room understaffed. Trading on location but needs better management

Lovely gardens. Excellent menu at the White Hart and a great cafe at the Green Table. Very comfortable and clean room with en suite. The courtyard and buildings were historically very interesting. We were thee to attend a funeral and so our experience at Dartington Hall was a lovely surprise. Lovely staff at check-in and in the restaurants.

It's a lovely location and a lovely historic building. The dining option closed 3 hours before it was due to as it didn't have any bookings. The nearest pub is a 30 minute walk away - fine if you have a car.... No front of house service after 16.00. Breakfast a bit greasy spoony. No thermostatic control on the room radiators - so would need to sleep with ground floor windows open. Still waiting to hear from customer services about the above and more niggly problems.

It was great to stay on the Dartington Estate and be able to use the White Hart for an evening meal and we enjoyed being able to walk around the gardens after breakfast before we left.

John, Evesham

Check in closed early short staff. Service in the restaurant slow although polite food was good. Woken at 1am by a person unlocking my door and entering my room. I advised the person it was not a good idea. He apologised said wrong room and left quickly. Transpires it was a member of staff finishing late and starting early. He had been given the wrong key and room number. He apologised at bfast. Not the point very poor situation to allow to happen, I’m pretty unhappy about it and complained at check out, again no staff and spoke to an events team member. Told the manager would contact me.. Room mould on the bathroom ceiling and mixer tap plumbed the wrong way. So hot was cold etc. against regs imagine a blind person or child using the tap. To top it off electric car chargers a joke. App didn’t work although on this occasion not the girls fault. Summary very disappointing.
