De Vere Oulton Hall, Leeds

...and is owned by the De Vere group. We were looking for a peaceful retreat whilst on an overdue visit to Leeds to catch up with some friends and this hotel being only ten miles from the centre of Leeds seemed to fit what we were looking for perfectly. *Arrival & check in* After a long drive from Oxfordshire up to Leeds, we were very happy to reach our destination. The elegant driveway spans past the golf course as it winds up to the grand old house. ...
...English sophistication. The gardens and floral displays are excellently cared for and planned and the architecture of Oulton Hall itself is breathtaking.

Review of De Vere Oulton Hall, Leeds

We have stayed at Oulton Hall twice in the last few months and it is a good hotel. Not quite 5*, but nevertheless good value for money.

Review of De Vere Oulton Hall, Leeds

took 3 phone calls before they actually reserved the interconnecting rooms I asked for. Rooms were supposed to be available by 3.00pm. At 4.30pm we were still waiting for the childrens rooms to be cleaned. The cover on the tv standby switch was missing, showing the circuit board. Great for little fingers. The bath cold water tap could'nt be turned and the knob on the shower in the childrens room came of in my hand. The fascia underneath the sink ...
...an 18 inch tear in the duvet cover. No disabled bays in the parking area near reception and parking was a nightmare. Small bays and people were parking anywhere. The ramp was steep (to say the least) and lopsided. My husband had to walk at my side to stop me falling of my electric scooter and the children had to push as the scooter was'nt made for such climbs. We ordered meals in the rooms but had to ask for a table as my children had a small one ...
