We had our wedding last Saturday at Astley Bank and wow. The whole day was seamless. The staff were attentive and friendly, food was amazing and hotel looked stunning. We can not recommend Astley enough. We had the most amazing day and a large part is down to the wonderful people who work there. A special mention to the wedding
co ordinators Veronika and Lauren. Fabulous from the start in every way and extra mention to Veronika who got us through the day !! Can't recommend this little gem of a place enough. Thank you, lots of love Mr and Mrs Tighe xxx

Bar and restaurant not available because of a wedding the rooms in need of a huge makeover and if that was a double bed I'd hate to see a single. Net curtains at a window not overlooked and there were holes in them, hole in the bathroom door and just needed decorating

Beautiful looking building and grounds, but once you get inside you're met with grumpy staff, we were a very big party of people and so many of our rooms got mixed up.
Rooms were OK, nothing that I'd consider negative but nothing really special. Even the bridal suite was small and cramped, however the bathroom for the bridal suite was about the same size as the actual room.
I'd stay there again as maybe a couple but certainly wouldn't ever consider having a wedding there or even recommend it for a wedding.

Very atmospheric quiet hotel with lots of little nooks to investigate.
The original rooms are tastefully decorated with antique furniture which adds to the luxury.
We managed a cheeky peek at a few empty rooms, all beautiful.
(can't comment on the new wing).
Food suits varied tastes and budgets.
Well stocked bar with a few unusual tipples.
Perfect place for a tranquil break for a discerning couple.
Ideal anniversary or occasion stay.
Rooms: Tastefully decorated. Hints of bygone days
Nearby activities: Walk around the reservoir close by.
Food & drinks: Suits most tastes.
Some unusual tipples at the bar.

We had the afternoon tea, it was superb. Soup was delicious, warm tasters, sandwiches, and cakes. Perfectly balanced between the sweet and savoury and also 2 homemade chocolates to finish.

Lovely quiet hotel. Few problems. Room very cold. Fab not working in bathroom. Pillows too soft and only 3 in the room.
Food & drinks: Dinner lovely . Breakfast huge disappointment. No veggie options. Chef did make me a lovely cheese omelette. Everything running out. No croissants as ran out. Buffet style but barely warm. Staff not bothered. Lovely fresh fruit when eventually brought more out. Very disjointed . Not my type of thing at all
