My friend and I did the Sunday night spa deal here which is £120 each for 1 night's stay, use of the spa (you can arrive before check-in), two 25-minute treatments, lunch, pimms and strawberries and cream, and £28 each towards food at dinner. On top of that I paid £28 for an extra treatment (they gave me 20% off because it was a last minute booking). Crewe Hall is a very impressive building and as it was so quiet (we guessed Sunday might be their least busy night with few weddings or business events) we were able to look at many of its magnificent rooms. None of the rooms in the old part of the hotel were set up for guests to have a drink in though, which was a real shame. In the morning I saw the room next to the reception was open as some kind of lounge - I don't know why we couldn't access it on the Sunday but it seems to defeat the point of having the hotel in such a nice old building that you can't use it! Our room was in the modern block and was very comfortable, the sheets were very soft and we had the benefit both of nice big corner windows and effective black out curtains. The bathroom was modern and clean. The spa itself is nice. It does not have a very luxury feel - the brown bathrobes are a bit threadbare and the decor is not of the highest quality but it is peaceful and aside from the treatment beds being quite small (my 5'11 frame was hanging off the end!) well set up, apart from you have to walk outside to get there. My treatments were really good and the lady that did them was so nice and made it a really relaxing and pleasant experience. She was brilliant at the massage (which was enhanced by having the salt and oil scrub first, so my skin felt really smooth) and the facial felt amazing - my skin felt so refreshed afterwards. My friend reported exactly the same with her treatments. The pool is quite big - you can do proper lengths - although the acoustics are terrible so if people are crawling up and down it becomes super noisy which isn't very restful for those in the sauna and steam rooms which otherwise were particularly good - large, clean and hot! Service in the hotel in general is friendly and helpful although occasionally inattentive - they failed to get us any drinks during lunch, for example. The only thing we were really disappointed with was the food. This deal would be great value if the food was even just average but it's pretty poor. The lunchtime buffet was a bit weird - strange salad options like potato salad with capers and cold boiled rice with a few olives thrown in, and the only hot options was four different types of curry! What if you don't like curry?! We don't mind it but it's not ideal for a spa lunch. The taste itself wasn't great in any case. Profiteroles for dessert were quite nice but what I thought was a lemon tart turned out to be banana - might be helpful to mark options that aren't obvious because it was a shame to waste it. Overall I think for Sunday lunch they would far better off with a carvery, although for reasons explained below I would not trust them to do a good job. Our pimms was nice and the strawberries were fine although not great that they came straight from the refrigerator. Dinner was not great. We got a cheap bottle of red wine that was very drinkable but the food was not enjoyable. We tried the calamari and goats cheese balls to start. The former came with only three pieces for £6.50 which is rubbish value and weren't crisply fried either. The goats cheese balls were only about an inch in diameter and you only get two for £6.50! They did however taste really good. For mains I had the most tasteless pork belly I've had (which I picked because I thought surely this always has flavour!) plus some lukewarm mashed potato and insipid gravy. My friend got a spinach and feta pie which sounded nice but looked like it had been cooked hours earlier and apparently tasted bad. It was supposed to come with buttered new potatoes but instead just got some really unappealing looking plain quite big potatoes. Her side of chips was good but came with bad ketchup! We then got a warm chocolate brownie for dessert. We had to laugh as it came on a stone cold plate with strawberries and bits of honeycomb. To make a dessert dish like this partially in advance is so weird - it's not like there was fancy presentation of the sauce or anything. The main result is just that the honeycomb is cold and a bit soft! Breakfast was better with a wide selection including pastries, a fruit bar and cooked items but things like sausages and hash browns weren't done particularly well - former obviously cheap and hash browns a bit dry and not crisp. They confirmed the overall impression of the food being done for the absolutely cheapest price possible with loads of shortcuts being taken. Although £120 is good value for the room and spa alone, I would hesitate to go back because it takes away from the experience to have bad food. read more

For Crewe - Crewe Hall is a marvel. It is a fantastic 16th century building situated in gorgeous well kept grounds. The entrance is fantastic with huge stone statues and craftmanship everywhere you can see. There are huge stone steps that lead up to the entrance - which is a perfect place to take pictures for events (such as my prom) weddings etc Inside is equally as fantastic with fabolous decorations - a perfect venue for a wedding. However you can visit in the day for lunch even though you may feel slightly out of place than you would mcdonalds! The gravel road leads around the whole of the building where you can find the leisure complex and function suite. I haven't visited the leisure complex however by looking through the windows looks fantastic and very clean. The function suite has its own (expensive) bar area and large function room which can hold over 100+ people. Situated round the back of the main building its a more modern development which is very popular with todays society and businesses. Food and drink is particularly expensive and the food wasn't of the highest quality that they prepared for our year 13 prom however it was adequate. Staff are very smart and efficient serving you promptly and with a smile. They are insistent in providing excellent service and ensuring everything runs smoothly. Definitely a place to see or even book for a function. read more

Crewe Hall - Hotels Near Me - Crewe, CHE

Have stayed here after wedding. The whole wedding and reception was handled wonderfully and there wasnt a hitch all day, for which they would have earnt the 5 stars already. But further to that the hotel room (i stayed in the modern half) was splendid. It was a little expesnive but the buffet breakfast in the morning helped to make it worth it. Service was a little slow getting you sat down but the restaurant itself was very clean, and freshly prepared hot food was always being brought out throughtout service. The building itself is old, and looks beautiful, it made for some lovely pictures of wedding. The staff were very helpful throughouut and made the wedding day and whole experience wonderful. highly, highly recommended read more

The old building is beautiful, and very imposing as you drive up to it. Inside it has vaulted ceilings, ornate paintings and intricate woodwork. Bucketfuls of character. This contrasts with the newer part of the building, which is aimed more towards the corporate market - all clean lines and very funtional. I attended an overnight function here. My room was in the new part and was clean and comfortable, although nothing to get excited about (well, I have been known to get excited about hotel rooms we all have our problems). The food was good, as was the service. I was booked into the Spa for some treatments, which were great, although to be honest I've nothing to compare them to - first time for everything. I used the pool and gym as well, both of which I would describe as adequate, but then I doubt many people book in just for that. Top marks for a beautiful old building. read more

big stately home which makes a perfect setting for civil wedding ceremonies, and wedding receptions alike. The modern extension is well bordered off from the older part, and doesnt attempt to do the 'fake' old look that some hotles attempt. Instead it is kept as a very minimalist and modern hotel section, and works wonderfully well. The older part of the hotel is amazing to walk around,and the food served on function evenings is brilliant. The function rooms are large, and all have their own bar room, and dance floor so are self containing and perfect for receptions. The sweeping drive way and beautiful gardens add to the whole experience of staying here and you really do feel a little bit like stepping into an jane austen novel while you're there.

This will be our wedding venue in a month. The place is amazing, and the staff are very helpful

Loved the service from Zea, she was truly an great hostess, great service and lovely personality

Crewe Hall is a lovely building - and the rooms in the modern section are adequate - but that is where my ok rating ends. The free wi-fi was non existent - it was almost impossible to get an internet connection. The food was quite simply terrible. The staff were all lovely and the wait staff was definitely making an effort but the kitchen was in a state and it seemed they couldn't get the food out. We had the all inclusive and only ate dinner one out of the four nights we were there. It's a beautiful place - but my advice is to visit and take a walk around the property, but eat and sleep somewhere else. read more

Crewe Hall is a fabulous old historical building now converted into a luxury Hotel, with all the extra amenities.As you drive up the tree lined, long driveway you approach this fabulous Jacobean building, with the stone stairs up to the main entrance adorned with huge stone dragons.The interior is all as fabulous and is worth looking around and learning all of its history dating back to the 16th Century.With stained glass features,ornate carved wood and huge fireplaces. The hotel is now a mix of old and new with a newly built wing which is more contemporary, attached to the main Hall with a glass walkway.There is a lovely Brasserie here offering modern dining with a unique revolving bar.Food is lovely but the room lacks atmoshere. The rooms in this wing are again modern and stylish.I prefer the original part of the hall, the rooms are more romantic and traditional with luxury,cosy decor. The main Hall has the Ranulph restaurant offering fine dining and excellent service, with a very good wine list and relax after in one of the sitting rooms, i much preferred eating here surrounded by the history of the warm feeling rooms. Wedding services are also offered here and they even have their own chapel. read more

I recently held my wedding reception at Crewe Hall. Other than a few minor hiccups in the run up to the big day, the service that was provided by Crewe Hall on the day of our wedding was excellent. The food was delicious and the service of the meal was extremely well organised. We were given the red carpet treatment which made you feel very special just what you want on your wedding day. The buffet in the evening was fantastic and was demolished by our guests within about 10 minutes. The bedrooms are all beautifully decorated both in the old hall and in the new modern extension. Crewe Hall have also now added a spa which opened the weekend of our wedding but unfortunately due to other commitments we didn't get chance to try this. The only problems we did have in the run up to the big day was some confusion over the room reservations for some of our guests which did cause a it of stress but it was also sorted well before the big day arrived and in the end everything went without a hitch. read more

Good food and good service. It is expensive but not for the quality. I highly recommend the steak!

dirty room and bathroom, broken shower control and plug. broken door lock which trapped us in the room. we had no sleep due to the dust, dirt and noise caused. the food delivered by room service took 45 minutes and was delivered cold and without our drinks order. the dessert was inedible. our requests for the room were ignored and the manager explained this was because there were too many booking pages to read them. We did complain the night of arrival but were not offered another room, the manager avoided meeting us to discuss the issues the morning after and since then our complaint has not been taken seriously. we booked direct but now wish I had booked through a 3rd party who could hold them responsible for the low service level. still trying to get someone at Qhotels to take responsibility but they simply do not want to listen. read more
