Perfect relaxing break with excellent spa/ staff.

The staff are exceptionally nice and always cheerful. The spa is extremely good with a quiet swimming area, jacuzzi, steam and sauna, as well as an excellent massage and facial. It was perfect for a relaxing weekend and very good value.

This was my second time visiting Hempstead Hotel and I was so glad to have returned. The welcome from staff is always lovely and very clean. My room was a wonderful size which was immaculate throughout. The bottled water is always nice to have along with ample biscuits, tea and coffee. I like to go out to the cinema which is only an eight minute drive. The breakfast was wonderful; smoked salmon and scrambled eggs cooked to perfection. I didn't feel rushed and gladly took my time to saourr every delightful moment. I visited the gym and sauna which were clean and tidy throughout. The extra bonas of the stay for me is that you really can make a full weekend of it as check-in at 3pm but you can arrive at any point of the day you are staying to use their amenities and the following day check-out is at 11am, but again, you can stay until 5pm!! Delightful stay and so reasonably priced. I shall vary much look forward to my stay again in the near future!

Lovely hotel, not huge so personal feel. Absolutely spotless. Staff friendly and lovely pool. Very relaxing break. Worth noting there is no lift so had to use stairs. Not an issue for us but worth knowing if you do struggle with stairs so you can ask for an accessible room. Will stay there again.
