Positive Reviews
positive:
Scenic surroundings and convenient location
Guests find the grounds of the Deanwater Hotel particularly appealing, describing how the surrounding gardens and woodlands are perfect for functions or simply to enjoy a walk. Reviews also suggest that with easy access to both the M56 and M62, you'll find the location of the hotel convenient.
positive:
Enjoyable on-site dining
Feedback for this hotel indicates that guests find the standard of dining is generally high. Breakfast is an enjoyable affair, as are the lunch and dinner services available in the bar. Guests occasionally found the dishes a little old-fashioned but were of good quality regardless.
positive:
Friendly service from staff
The hotel staff is consistently found to offer a warm welcome and friendly service. Guests mention that any queries are handled quickly and professionally and many say the staff couldn't do enough for them.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Some disappointment with rooms
Opinions of the guest bedrooms tend to vary a little. While some rate the standard of the accommodation highly, others say they found the decor, particularly in the bathrooms, was very dated. Still more comment on the lack of air-conditioning or fans in the rooms.
negative:
Extra costs for Wi-Fi
Paying extra for Wi-Fi in this day and age seems a little antiquated and is, understandably, a source of frustration for guests. It's not like the Deanwater is a budget hotel, so the general consensus is that Internet access should be included.
negative:
Rooms separate from main building
A number of guests found it disappointing that the rooms are separate from the main building of the property, often commenting that they felt the full force of the weather when walking between the two buildings. On the plus side, the rooms location means that they are largely shielded from any noise from functions.
