Sandford Springs Hotel and Golf Club

We felt that the hotel exceeded our expectations as we didn't pay that much for our B&B stay, so we expected a basic hotel. But the room was lovely and the facilities were great.

It was all fantastic

Location

Room was tired . Stain on carpet and sealant was discoloured around shower.

Always an excellent stay, clean, comfy, wonderful staff and a great breakfast. They have everything you could need, it's in a great location and lovely and quiet, a fantastic stay.

We only stayed for one night as a stopover on our journey home, but overall had a great experience. The bed was very comfortable and I was really impressed with the choice of pillows. The room was clean and spacious, with plenty of room for suitcases and belongings. The water refill station with ice was also a great and useful touch.

The bathroom was a great size and well designed, although it could use a little TLC. Unfortunately, the air conditioning wasn't working properly and was only blowing warm air, which made the room very uncomfortable, especially as it was one of the hottest days of the year. The manager did manage to fix it, although it took a while as he was busy and on his own, and then the room took some time to cool down. We didn't use the golf facilities or eat at the hotel, so can't comment on those. We chose the hotel purely because it was on our route home. Overall, we were very happy with our stay. The room was comfortable, spacious and clean, and there were some really nice touches like the pillow choices and water refill station. The air conditioning issue was just unfortunate timing given the extreme heat, but the manager did make an effort to resolve it.

Quiet location. Wide corridors, spacious room. Air conditioning was excellent. Very easy parking. Staff friendly and offered great customer service. Warm welcome when we went to clubhouse for drinks. Great base to explore the area. We didn't have breakfast so cannot comment.

Drive very slowly, be aware of the small speed bumps, they are not humps !!!!

Comfortable and clean

Breakfast room was too small for the number of people.

It was everything we expected

Location, ease of booking and quality of room

Beautiful location and grounds.

Restaurant was closed on Saturday night, no prior notice given. We were the only guests not there for golf and the only women staying in the hotel.

Room clean and comfortable. EV charger good and quick. Staff friendly.

Room decor a bit bland. TV too small for size of room. Drinks very expensive. Avoid breakfast! No clear tables to sit at. Maybe short staffed. Waited 35 mins for tea to arrive despite several chases. Lack of plates. Porridge was inedible. Sausages tasteless. Big queue at buffet. Water had bits in from dispenser. Tea pot only half filled. The list goes on. Left our weekend disappointing after looking forward to what we thought would be a top venue. Did report it to reception. Feel sorry for the waiting staff. Seemed disorganised. NOT WORTH the over £200 we paid for the night.

Room was very comfortable and a good size the air conditioning was efficient which we were glad of in the current hot weather

Nothing

Nice location and nice room.

Air con only controlled by reception despite frequent requests to say the room control not working. Breakfast finishes at 10.30. Paid for breakfast at reception at 10.00. Then found continental breakfast was just jam and butter, no croissant pasties left at all. then told that they would not be replenished. Total confusion over restaurants. Were told that lounge in hotel was closed. But Terrace menu and Fairway Restaurant were available in the clubhouse. Walked to clubhouse and then told that the only menu was the terrace menu (very limited) and was in the bar area. Also told that the bar area was the Fairway Restaurant but not using that menu. Then booked a meal in Kingsclere. Only to find that when we walked back to the hotel building the Fairway Restaurant was in fact open due to a "booking".

The stay was a disaster a golfing group of men kept us up for a couple of hours playing football in the corridor. Messing with fire extinguishers and playing loud music. No staff were on site to deal with this. It spoilt our stay. We have requested a refund

Loved it

Nothing

Large, clean and comfortable room, good shower,extremely good breakfast especially the sausages

Nothing

Very comfortable large air conditioned rooms

Superb location, nestling amongst 3x9 hole golf courses, in beautiful typically English countryside; with pheasants and wild geese feeding peacefully right outside both the hotel & golf club restaurant windows.

Dining at night in the golf club restaurant, the food was excellent; (but the drinks pricey). However, the breakfast in the hotel was distinctly disappointing for this standard of hotel.

Rural location, peaceful, nice polite staff, large rooms and comfortable

Staff were friendly and the room and bathroom were lovely and presented well

The air conditioning wasn’t good enough, not really modern enough and certainly a distinct lack of cooling, which was the main reason I chose this hotel

Spacious room

Air conditioning did not work and we had only booked this hotel for that single purpose due to a health condition made worse by heat. £24.95 for an average breakfast is not acceptable.

Clean room, lovely bed, nice surroundings.

No fridge in room but ice and cool water available near reception. Air conditioning not up to much in summer heat.

Leuke golfbaan

Hotel is netjes maar verder niet bijzonder

Its location to where I visit. Staff nice.

Went to book over Easter and prices were stupid went to Devere instead less than half the price and included breakfast. Shame as I do use it alot for buisness but now thinking Devere the better option. Bar closes far too early.

Breakfast excellent, nice & quiet location

Nothing

Nothing

Every member of staff was lovely

Nothing

Very low noise from neighbouring rooms and corridors. Undisturbed night sleep. 😴

No BBC on the TV in my room. Remote control filthy. Poor evening meal. No yoghurt at breakfast.

Breakfast lovely. Bed very comfortable. Slept really well.

Bit cold when we first went into the room but we adjusted the air conditioning and it was fine.

Goed ontbijt en fijne bedden

Was ok Thought there could have had a better selection of fruit and pastry’s as well

The date on yogurt pots worried me could have been put in a bowl of ice

Clean

Nothing

Quiet, undisturbed stay. Plenty of parking spaces close to reception. Clean room with excellent blackout curtains.

I requested a double bed but got two singles pushed together. The join down the middle of the bed was raised and uncomfortable.

Great setting. Lovely staff and the breakfast was amazing

Everything was perfect

None

Convenient

Not a lot…

The hotel is lovely. Our room very spacious very clean and very comfortable.

The size of the room. The decor and staff were great. We also used the driving range

Nice golf course. Location convenient to event we were attending.

Breakfast truly terrible. Poached eggs drenched in vinegar. Coffee warm. Showers warm not hot. Damp smell in rooms. No lounge area (apart from restaurant). We were one of only 3 rooms booked - now we know why. Was meant to be a special occasion for us - instead, we were desperate to leave.

Lovely rooms, both in terms of size and decor. Great location

N/a

Very clean and comfortable as well as affordable, perfect for a family trip to vist relatives. Will definitely return.

Location, quiet room , room view spotlessly clean

Great

Staff friendly and professional, large guest room, good restaurant for evening meal and hotel breakfast dining separate to the club house. Generous meal portions and especially breakfast

Nothing

Breakfast was great

Dinner in the clubhouse was average and the walk down there in the dark was not great.

Buffet breakfast. Comfortable bed.

Some maintenance in the bathroom needed. Loo seat loose and shower sealant needs renewing.

A lovely quiet retreat with a decent bed and great breakfast

There was a noticeable layer of dust on my bedside table.

Large accessible room. Beautiful outlook Comfortable beds Tasty breakfast

Corridor warmer than the room Restaurant in hotel only for breakfast, had to walk to the clubhouse for dinner. Shower affected by neighbours also using water.

Good breakfast

Check-in was quick and easy, with pleasant and helpful staff throughout my stay. The buffet breakfast was excellent.

LOCATION, VIEW, ROOM SIZE, STAFF FRIENDLYNESS - ALL BRILLIANT

Beautiful location, very friendly staff and good sized, clean rooms

Quite comfortable rooms with an excellent breakfast. All staff are pleasant and helpful

Very nice

The room was a lovely large size with excellent disabled facilities.

Smelt musty on entrance, surface dust, mouldy shower curtain, stain on carpet. Wobbly toilet seat. No water in the room, had to go to Reception to collect water and ice from the water fountain. A mini fridge would have been nice in the room.

good location to visit Highcler Castle from, nice staff, good breakfast

Quiet and comfortable. Lovely breakfast

Nothing

No breakfast taken.

Nothing - a very pleasant place.

The bed was very comfortable and so was the room in general.

The air conditioning didn't work and neither did the tv remote. I was also prompted to request an extra bed for my child free of charge which was accepted by the hotel but upon arrival I was asked to pay £30 for said bed.

Great place to stay secluded in the middle of nowhere (lots of windy roads to get there). The staff are very friendly, and the grounds are very relaxing.

The shower gel and shampoo dispenser in the shower (room 25) doesn't really dispense much.

Very clean friendly and helpful staff Breakfast was lovely good selection

Clean quiet and comfortable

Everything

Nice big rooms, very quiet. Excellent waiter for evening and breakfast meals

Not great food.

Staff at both the Hotel and Golf Club restaurant were exceptionally friendly and helpful,

Tee box right outside bedroom window.
