Brook Marston Farm Hotel

It was very close to where we had to go for an event that went very late, so that worked well. We were able to get a family room (3) and the area around the hotel was beautiful. Sadly, we REALLY didn't like having the fire alarm go off at 5:55am due to someone boiling their kettle under a sensor (which is what we were told) and then again at 8am on a Sunday. We had been to a party the night before and were exhausted. I appreciate that our safety is important to the hotel, but the hotel did not offer any good will gesture on their part for this inconvenience.

Walked into the reception, no receptionist just an A4 piece of paper with a mobile phone number saying ring for attention there was a hand set on the counter but that didn’t work with no mobile signal inside I had to call from the car park not the best of greetings. We were given our room key number 23 and directed towards a staircase at the side of the bar. The corridors were dark , narrow with a damp fusty odour. Opening the room door was like opening a window to the 1940s/50s and it looked like the room had not been decorated since that period. The wallpaper was peeling there was open cracks in the wall and ceiling, the bathroom again looked like it had not been painted since the 50s the shelf had flaking paint the toilet roll holder was broken and rusting the plug for the washing basin had a hole in it?. We were woken by the fire alarm sounding at 05:45 we evacuated our room and made our way to the assembly point what a farce people were just milling around there was not a member of staff in sight to take a roll call it was evident that not all guests had evacuated the hotel after 15 minutes we were told it was a false alarm probably due to someone smoking in their room the alarm went off again at 08:35 again no one evacuated the hotel. On the plus side the bar staff and waiting staff were spot on Unfortunately this hotel failed to impress we will be giving this a very wide berth in the future.

Probably pound for pound the worst hotel I've stayed at, yes I've stayed in worse hotels but not that have cost £150 a night for B&B. We had our "all inclusive" works Christmas do here & it was so poor in was laughable. There wasn't sufficient room for our party which was a result of the storm that evening BUT could have been sorted much better. The inclusive drinks package had some strange restriction & the bar was stocked to a budget which when items ran out they weren't replenished. The meal resembled a poor school dinner the majority of which was served cold. There was no wine on the tables & tea & coffee wasn't served after the meal. Our room looked like it hadn't been decorated for forty years & was freezing cold on arrival & the following morning. We didn't even bother going for breakfast due to the poor performance the previous evening & by all accounts for the people that did go we made the right choice. Anyone reading this please be mindful of your expectations if considering booking here as I'm certain I won't be returning anytime soon

Myself and my now husband had just the most amazing wedding day at Brook Marston Farm Hotel. Nicola and all the staff made us and every single one of our treasured guests feel welcome and comfortable. The venue was absolutely perfect, we had the freedom to make the space our own with our autumnal/halloween theme. The food was delicious, everything ran so smoothly. Every one of our guests have raved about the venue, the service, the food, everything. The rooms are all spacious, clean and cosy. The breakfasts are wonderful. Even our celiac guests had a truly yummy time. I cannot recommend this place enough. The location is very convenient, I had guests coming from very near and VERY far and no one had any trouble. There's loads of parking, and the outside spaces are beautiful. We had photos going down the track, by some huge trees, and of course on the canal which is accessed from their site. Their DJ was great, everyone danced the night away. It's a spacious yet intimate place, with lots of squishy sofas tucked away here and there. It's rustic, warm and very comfortable. Cannot recommend enough. We loved the whole experience, from finding this gem to packing up the next day. Thank you so so much to everyone involved.

Had a great Christmas party experience with friends. The meal was the best we've ever had at this type of event. The staff couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. Good value for money. Will definitely look at returning here for our Christmas get together next year

Came to this hotel to try out the restaurant as I live local. Was greeted at reception, then walked through a lovely courtyard to get to the restaurant. Evie the waitress was fantastic. A very polite young lady and nothing was too much trouble. There was a nice selection on the menu and reasonably priced. I chose the linguine which was the best I’ve tasted so compliments to the chef. Restaurant and bar was lovely with the beams showing, Very relaxing and friendly atmosphere. Would highly recommend and will be returning again.
