Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The room was good. Didn't get to use the facilities like we wanted to due to time (other appointments).
The buffet breakfast could be better. Most of the hot food was lukewarm and they ran out of fried and scrambled eggs. Had to wait.
Staff rude at reception.damp bed room.musty smell pf towels.had to walk for ages to get to rooms.
Breackfast was nice
Friendly staff, great place to stay!
Very little The staff were very friendly and helpful
Please see above Ot needs to be renovated and tfw layout is appalling It’s like entering a time capsule from the early nineties The food was also very average
Good breackfast and pool area.
Thw long maze of a walk to.bed rooms.staff not very frieandly at any stage espeacily at reception.
Its quiet and well looked after
Very good choice, large dining room and tables had plenty of space between them.
More than one (operational) hot drinks machine would help avoid having to queue.
Bar, pleasure and restaurant Staff were ace!!! Good banter. Played some pool and sat in your lovely underutilised courtyard Shower was hot and good power!
Breakfast I found mediocre, cold over cooked bacon, mushrooms and sausage. The eggs looked like they had been out too long, and the croissants were of poor quality also. Both coffee machine were so slow. Waiter had bad B.O.
Beautiful environment. The public spaces were beautiful
I tried calling the room service for half an hour straight. Eventually I had to go down to the restaurant to put in the order. The food arrived in good time, but there was no salt and pepper or any other condiments. It was very dry. And served in a hurry.
Location.
Our bathroom smelt used not fresh. Only had a quarter of a toilet roll and NO spares.
The bed was very comfortable. We had a large room with a nice view of the gardens. There was a good choice at breakfast.
Very clean and comfortable room. Staff welcoming and effieicent.
For a conferencing centre the Wifi speed is very poor - I had difficulty hosting a TEAMS call.
Nice place to stay.
Nothing
Breakfast was a good selection of the usual fayre with "healthy" options available (eg fruit, non-dairy milk). The room was a standard double with 2 basic seats for a tea/coffee and a writing desk. Staff were pleasant and friendly.
The room could have had 2 lounge chairs plus an upright chair for the writing desk. As we're a little older, we would rather have had a walk-in shower than having to step over into a bath. The kettle was past its prime.
The staff were not friendly bar 1 girl Hannah was the exception. Very expensive aswell
The staff as mentioned above
Close to where we needed to be and lovely grounds
Long corridors and ladies you will need a make up mirror with a light as missing from the room and lighting isn’t good for such things
Great location, rooms and service. Breakfast was good too. We were there for my partner's birthday and met some lovely people celebrating their weddings.
The coffee wasn't very pleasant but that is just me nit-picking.
The property was lovely
We were told that after our check out we could still continue to use the facilities including the pool. The pool staff said asked us to get out after we had only been on 10 mins as my daughter was 16 and apparently it had just gone into adult time , even though the front desk had told us we could use it , after a very lovely stay we left with a sour taste in our mouths
Room was very nice and clean Breakfast was amazing
Nothing
The services provided and breakfast are fabulous, everything on the menu is served fresh, and staff are always at hand willing to help if there is anything that you need. I was also impressed to find that it is a pet friendly hotel.
Lovely and spacious nice design

Staff
Noise. Doors don’t soft close. Constant banging. You can hear your neighbours toilet flush…. Lots of dogs. My socks got dog hair on them in my room. Yuck. Dog excrement in the grounds. Resturant was overwhelmed by large groups on short lunches scrambling to get food. Layout was nice for a stead flow but not for large groups.
Lovely grounds. Staff very friendly. Food was lovely. Games room..
Nothing. It was a lovely trip.

Het ontbijt was uitstekend, met veel keus en heerlijke koffie. De ligging is ook er fraai, rustig en met enorm veel groen om het hotel heen.
De dame aan de receptie reageerde nonchalant en lauwtjes toen ik ging inchecken. Je verwacht toch meer een vriendelijke ontvangst.
Beautiful venue and outside views, spacious, clean, quite, warm and welcoming, plenty of zones additional to my for lounging, refreshments, conversation or chill time.
Although the room was great - clean, spacious, well decorated, resourced and comfortable, it was a bit dark, even with the curtains fully open. More natural daylight would've improved the experience. This was probably due to a ground floor room with large trees overhead. Maybe these can be pruned back to allow for more light. My shower wasn't very hot in the morning either, although my family members' was in another room.
Very nice hotel staff very friendly and helpful my husband is disabled and the hotel very easy to get around in his mobility scooter food very nice room was lovely and clean would definitely book again
Clean, comfortable room. Good parking. Lovely staff.
Quite bland and corporate. Long corridors of rooms, gloomy bar area.
Lovely big room. Clean throughout. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast good buffet choice. Needed late check out which for a small fee was no trouble in the slightest. Will definitely be back
N/A
Nice grounds & facilities (eg pool). Staff efficient & friendly.
Room had a shower over a bath - awkward for older guests to step in & out. Noisy at night - other guests shouting at each other in the early hours & no staff to placate the situation. Long walk to Reception & facilities.
Quiet
Friendly staff and nice location. The leisure facilities were really good. Food was excellent. A really nice breakfast.
Nothing
Friendly staff, exceptional breakfast and lovely setting
check-in
Normal hotel guests came second to conference and events guests. Breakfast in a corridor. Cold and overcooked expensive evening meal which took 90 minutes to serve. Staff lying to cover their mistakes.
Lovely setting. Dinner was fantastic Staff really helpful and friendly Room was spacious, clean and modern
Nothing we experienced
We had a nice stay at Eastwood , with comfy beds we enjoyed a good breakfast and used the swimming facilities
Last room near some door so lots of banging of doors
The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. The food was good and the leisure facilities were good, especially the games room. The grounds were lovely.
The hotel should have highlighted more that It was a dog friendly hotel. We did not like the fact that a gentleman took his dog with him to get the food from the self service breakfast. We saw quite a few dogs and had at one point to speak to a lady who was opposite us on the first floor as they had left a dog in their room whilst going for dinner in the evening and the dog yapped loudly for about twenty minutes until she came to check on it. We don’t dislike dogs but feel that there should be a particular part of the hotel reserved for people who bring dogs. The hotel was very busy with two large groups as well as one of the restaurants being out of action, we don’t feel that there were enough staff. We had booked our meal on the Saturday night for 7.30pm and were only having a main meal - this took nearly an hour to arrive.
Looked nice from the outside but you don’t actually stay in the hall. It’s the building to the left which is like an addition to the building. Food was nice in the restaurant and staff friendly
Bar was like a sports bar, no music, no ambiance. Gave wine in thick stem and wide rim glasses which reminded me of Wetherspoons. Two large events on and clearly not enough space to host everyone with the restaurant being closed, we had to eat breakfast in the hallway! Spa changing rooms dirty. Plastic chairs around the swimming pool. No WiFi in the hotel rooms if you are staying right at the back of the hotel so be warned.
Free use of the leisure centre. Great breakfast. Great food. Beautiful place. Spotless. Fantastic staff. What's not to like .me and my husband spent 3 days here and we're booking again soon.
Nothing to not like
Lovely range of facilities ie swimming pool, gym, sauna and steam room included. Really good breakfast with plenty of choices and eat as much as you like…. Nice coffee too and take away cups, which was great. Moder decor with plenty of grounds and parking was free.
If have to be slightly negative the mattress was quite hard, in room coffee and tea was slightly dusty as was the tv remote!
Good size room, good price, friendly staff
Walls very thin could hear other people snoring and talking. Breakfast was chaos and ate in what was a corridoor. Over crowded Hard to get out of barrier to go back and forth
Beautiful surroundings very dog friendly Breakfast was good Facilities were easily accessible
The staff were great.
Very clean, great location & beautiful surroundings
Due to restaurant refurbishment the eating areas lacked atmosphere
We loved everything really. The bedroom was very spacious the hotel was spacious and the staff were lovely too also plenty of secure parking
The only thing was the breakfast wasn't hot but that was because they were undergoing renovations so we could excuse that for that reason
Staff amazing
Room wasn't clean, carpet not vacuumed, biscuit wrapper on the floor together with someone else's clothes tags. Wrote in the dust especially on the lamps. Only one tea bag to last our stay! Extremely noisy throughout the night. Other guests had no respect to keep the noise down and weren't reminded by any signage
Clean, with polite and helpful staff.
The breakfast had limited variety of bread and pastries. There was no cheese at all. The swimming pool was divided lengthwise by a rope, with one section for children and the other only for adults.
Rooms were comfortable. Spa and gym facilities were good, although as it is also used by local residents children cannot access until the afternoon, which unfortunately meant we couldn't use them more than once due to being out all day with family.
Our daughters room (238) smelled of damp and there was an obvious sign of a water leak on the ceiling. Breakfast was good but there was a function on the Friday and the following morning the hotel had set out 2 large tables for those guests right next to the food and drinks making it difficult for other guests to access. We had come down 10 minutes after opening and most of tbe initial offering had been taken. The staff were over worked and we had to wait a while for more food to be brought out. Also tables were left uncleared for a while.and other guests were waiting for tablesnor had to sit in the lobby. We were told by staff to go out to the coffee bar/bar area approx. 50m or so.away from.the restaurant to locate clean cutlery. It would be better to sit large gatherings in their own area so other guests aren't affected.
Location is great, not too far from M1 junction and close to town centre if you fancy eating and drinking elsewhere.
The bed-singles pushed together with a topper to cover the gap.
Great location for what we needed
The property is outdated, including the bedrooms, arrived early to use the facilities to find them not open, this was due to the staff member being late.
Bed was awful,no privacy you could here everything from surrounding rooms,the doors slammed constantly,the bed was crap,breakfast was in a depressing room with drawn curtains,the shower was awful.
Breakfast was absolutely fantastic food was top quality and staff polite and helpful
I honestly can't fault anything everything was just perfect
It was nice and clean room and the spa area was clean
there was not enough food in the dining room for breakfast. They run out of a lot of things and it was only 930.
Needs a bar fridge in rooms.
Beautiful location.
Room was a bit cool. Could have benefited from a little warmth but we as guests had no control over the heating
The location and grounds are wonderful. So much Greenery and calming scenery. The staff were very helpful and the room was perfect, very large comfortable bed and well laid out. The spa was an added bonus and made the stay even more enjoyable. So much parking available. The breakfast had a lot of choice too
Nothing to dislike
Nice open space very clean really nice room s
Nothing
Ideal for a meet up clean comfortable set in grounds for walking
Will be better when the dining room has been refurbished although the temporary dining room is a good alternative
The whole place was delightful.
Everything
Nothing
Need bar fridge in rooms.
Friendly attentive staff
Restaurant booking not showing despite email saying it was booked
The pool and games room were really good and the staff were friendly and helpful, breakfast ok but no scrambled egg despite it being on the menu
We had a family room which was just a double room with a camp bed . The beds were very uncomfortable which meant we didn’t sleep well for both nights . This hotel has potential with the lovely grounds but don’t feel they are making the most of it
I would NOT recommend this hotel. We visited in late August for one night. To start with, the receptionist was not very welcoming. Our room was ok - a bit dusty and damaged but not awful. I went to the gym and - again - the staff were not friendly. The gym was very hot. We went for a drink in the bar before dinner and it was so noisy. People were vaping in the bar and you had to wait ages to get served. People were going out using the fire doors and it kept slamming. There was also a wedding and the music from their room blared out every time someone left or entered the room. The dinner was nice and staff friendly. The breakfast was chaotic. I asked about getting a vegetarian sausage and the waitress said she’d would check. She didn’t come back to me - despite waiting 20 minutes. The food wasn’t properly marked and it ran out. There was clearly no one in charge and, on leaving, the receptionist didn’t even say goodbye!
It was lovely! And they were very attentive to my requests to add some birthday treats for my partner. We had a most delicious pizza too from the bar menu. Great spa.
Nothing, other than would be nice to have fridge in room.
Spacious, clean, overall great value for money
High standard of decor & improvements being carried out on restaurant.
Very Nice
Dog friendly
Nothing
It was a lovely hotel I particularly liked the disabled changing area in the pool
All great as usual
Nothing
Quiet room, helpful staff and swimming pool for proper swimming on site.
the showers at the gym / pool were poorly maintained with mould and slimy floors.
stay was lovely , staff friendly
I wanted room Service and no one would answer so I went out. No butter at breakfast only flora and i hate Flora, Other than that breakfast was good
We love it’s setting in the parkland with mature trees
The noise of drilling from the restaurant refurbishment but this will only be temporary
We just love it ,lovely grounds, restaurant menu is amazing & facilities are excellent. Location for visiting other places of interest is so good too .All staff very pleasant & helpful
Large hotel
Food wasn't the best
Wouldn’t return. Had to change rooms as room was dirty and broken toilet. Changed to near reception so was very noisy at 2am. Was expecting a relaxing day which didn’t deliver.
As above. Too many children running riot to relax
Grounds, cleanliness
N/A
Breakfast was great , bedroom spotless
Had very bad expierence with one of our meals waited 50 minutes for food when it came it was cold. It was taken away then brought back after a few minutes still was,nt right we complained and were given a refund but spoilt our evening , being a diabetic i need meals at set times
The food was excellent and of a very high standard.
Seemed to be short of staff.
The bed was comfy.
The service was honestly a shambles and it was clear that the management need a serious review. Short staffed on reception at check in, only one person working on her own when check in opened at 2pm, huge queues- she was clearly overworked, understaffed and completely fed up. One of our rooms was also 45 mins late for check in as it was not clean. The bar was not staffed, only 1 person when we went and it was a really long wait. The restaurant was closed for refurbishment, but no mention of this when booking. The result was that food was served in a conference suite, on plastic picnic tables, no windows. Honestly, it was very poor indeed. Breakfast was chaotic and very messy, plus one of our party has been very ill from the food. I hope the senior management team improve things, all the teenage/young staff were incredibly unhappy, overworked and having to work in unacceptable conditions which resulted in really poor service indeed. I don’t blame the young staff, it is absolutely a management issue. It was a very disappointing stay and we strongly recommend you do not stay here.
Very nice, lots to do. Love the pool, had a games room. Clean, comfortable and the staff were great. Got a upgrade and love the little snacks and drinks in the room. Great touch.
The pool was a little cold.
Driving from Gloucestershire to Leeds there and back in a day is getting too much, especially with today's traffic. Due to family illness we need to make this journey fairly regular now, so Eastwood Hall looked like a good place to stop. This place looks great, just the sort of place we like, non chain and in a grand setting. How underwhelmed we were, 2 night stay, and this is the last time we will do this. This place looks to cater for large wedding parties, entertainment groups and gatherings. The rooms were well equipped but dated and the bed linen was dubious, it is either old or the linen company has not got a very good wash or does not quality check. There is piles of dust around the shelves by the bed. You will not get a peaceful nights sleep, large groups returning to rooms late at night or early hours with no regard for other residents. We Looked forward to a relaxing evening and an early evening meal, we have to eat early because of digestions problems, we sat at 6.30, then by 7.40, still no dinner, and yet people around us who sat after us had got their meals! We also noticed several other groups and couples in the room who were having similar experiences waiting long periods for meals. After a 3rd conversation to ask where is the meal, and almost being served the wrong meal, we strongly suspect the chef had lost the order! Nobody senior came out to discuss or check to see what was going on. The young waiter who served us and the waitress who lastly engaged with us after we had got her attention were both amazing, lovely well mannered people and very calm and apologetic, they were evidently embarrassed by the whole event, a contrast to the waitress who tried to give us the wrong meal, she almost gave the impression it was amusing with no apology! Buffet breakfast in a large establishments great, no fault there but quality of food was questionable. Clearly the focus is on catering for a mass volume of people probably still intoxicated who would not know the difference in quality anyway. Exiting the property in the car there is a security barrier, as you drive up to it, it does not go up. There is no suggestion as to how the barrier should go up, so after several presses of a button on the right side of the car attached to a post, the barrier goes up. There is no mention of the process at reception regarding exiting the car park. Nobody on reception in the morning to hand back the keys to and to have an opportunity to provide feedback or ask any questions, good job I knew where I was going but surely many people staying there could be from overseas and would welcome some attentive care.
Clean rooms, comfy beds, excellent leisure suite, helpful staff, lovely breakfast.
An hour to wait for meal in restaurant one night.
We stayed here for a wedding with 2 dogs. The facilities for both humans and dogs were great. The grounds are extensive for plenty of room for the dogs to burn off energy with plenty of bins for the dog poop bags. There were also complimentary doggie treats in the room. The breakfast choices covered all bases with hot and cold options and the staff were helpful and friendly. And the wedsing event was well catered for.
Leisure facilities.
At 9am the breakfast was a bit of a let down. Both coffee machines were down. One had no water to make yoúr own with a sachet. Then no milk for cereal or hot drinks. As the buffet had started to run out, staff were busy having things cooked when asked.. The coffee machines are good but slow and queues built up when busy.
Nice hotel. However, the dining room was closed, so we were in a conference room which was not very nice. Another fault would be the EV charge point not working- unable to charge our car. Not acceptable.
Awful replacement dining room. EV charge points not working.
The friendly staff and cleanliness.
Nothing we didn't like
Big clean room. Great staff. Very good value.
Restaurant seems closed when we were there. So temporary restaurant set up in conference room. Bit soulless. Maybe put some pictures up? Also breakfast food was very nice, but was a bit cold!
The staff where great especially towards our daughter
No pizza on the last night, not a complaint
Nice location, smart, clean and friendly
Food and leisure facilities were good.
Some of the decor and facilities were a bit shabby and lacked basic finiishing touches. The interior of the hotel lacked atmosphere and ambience, we actually went out the second night as the dining room was so dull.
Sadly that was the only complaint I would have.After retiring from the catering trade after 50 years.i tend not to find fault with food.The food was not hot enough.The food was topped up on a regular basis but the problem was it was poured on top of the older stuff,so it was making it deteriorate .But over all it was good ,with quality products.not a lot of improvement needed.
Not much .the staff were first class .in every department.all round very good.
Lovely sports centre with free classes for hotel guests. Very comfortable rooms.
Very clean.
Nothing.
Great setting with plenty of parking. Friendly staff, comfortable beds and spacious rooms
Room decor a bit tired, no water to drink in the room. Tea tray had items missing. The cooked buffet breakfast was lukewarm warm but could be because the dining area had been moved due to a refurb.

What guests love
Areas to consider
Cleanliness
9.2/10Multiple reviewers explicitly mention very clean rooms and good overall cleanliness of accommodation and facilities.
Service
8.6/10Staff are frequently praised (helpful, compensated guests for waits, excellent on busy nights) though one review notes some staff 'not so happy to help', yielding a generally strong but slightly mixed service score.
Location
8.6/10Location noted as easy access to Eastwood town centre with ample parking and clear directions; one guest felt unsettled by a large event on-site but location logistics are described positively.
Room Quality
7.8/10Rooms described as comfortable, well-sized and clean with fans provided; however issues reported include very high shower pressure, lack of AC and a lift problem affecting mobility, lowering the score slightly.
Amenities
9.2/10Strong amenity offering: good-sized indoor pool with family/lanes separation, excellent spa facilities, beautiful gardens, outdoor seating and easy parking are repeatedly praised.
Value for Money
8.4/10Not explicitly discussed in the reviews; assigned the target overall rating (8.4) as a neutral/default value.
Food and Beverage
8/10Breakfast is frequently praised (wide choice, good quality items like Greek yoghurt and bacon) but there are recurring notes of delays/replenishment issues during busy times and requests for a wider cold-meat/cheese/bread/juice selection.
Overall Experience
7.4/10Overall sentiment is positive with many 'excellent' and 'would stay again' comments, but cumulative negatives (breakfast delays, the unexpected large event, shower/lift issues, occasional unhelpful staff) temper the overall score.
