Wroxall Abbey Estate, Warwick

I have just stayed overnight for a wedding at the Mansion House, Wroxall Abbey Estate - and my experience was totally opposite the review I have just read. Our twin room was really spacious and very well appointed and the bathroom had all you could want with a large, walk-in shower, whirlpool bath (which sadly I didn't have time to try), twin handbasins and a hairdryer plus a plentiful supply of soft, white, fluffy towels. We commented on the fact that with such a comfortable room a longer stay would be even better (and I'd have got to use the whirlpool bath!)

As we checked out we were asked whether everything had been OK and when we said 'No' the reply was 'Oh' and continued to swipe our credit card. In all honesty, ...

Review of Wroxall Abbey Estate, Warwick

...at the Mansion House in Wroxall Abbey estate and cannot praise the place enough. All of the staff are genuinely attentive and helpful, especially our own personal Elton John in the shape of the piano playing, joke telling, sandwich making night porter who looked after us until 5.30am. As we took over the whole of the Mansion for our wedding (definately the best option for a very reasonable price) I actually got to see the majority of the Mansions ...
...of them is the same which is great. I should think the owners like auctions as many of the rooms are filled with interesting furniture and are themed which just adds to the overall charm of the place. The Mansion House used to be a private girls school which has been converted into a hotel but without losing any of the quirkiness of those types of buildings. One of the intiial reasons for us chosing the place was because both myself and my wife ...
