A few years ago we stayed at Walton Hall, Wellesbourne, when visiting England. It is in the beautiful Cotswolds area close to Stratford-upon-Avon and Warwick.

We have been planning on going back there and are fortunate to be going the week commencing September 1st. On our last visit we had a one bedroom, one bathroom unit but this time we have booked a 2 bedroom, 2-bathroom unit that sleeps 6 people. This way my daughter, her husband, and the 2 granddaughters can stay with us.

Walton Hall looks like a stately home and last time we got to meet Sir Richard and his lady. The property is a hotel/timeshare/Country Club set in 65 acres of beautiful landscaping. The Victorian architect, Sir Gilbert Scott, built it. The property has the main building but we stayed in one of the apartments in the grounds. There are 2 restaurants, and a bar in main building. We tried to eat in one of them but it was closed at the time.

There is a beautiful long drive up to Walton Hall and looking at it for the first time you are aware of this grand old home with loads of chimneys.

The check in was really professional and the counter clerk was very articulate and extremely helpful. We were told to drive back to the apartments and we were on the first floor , which is the second floor here in the states.

Our accommodation was a good size for English standards. They were upgrading all the rooms in our building but unfortunately hadn't got to ours. Be aware we had to walk up the wide staircase as there were no elevators/lifts.

The entrance hall in the apartment was big and had doors leading to the living room, bedroom, and bathroom. The kitchen was to the side of the living room.

The living room had a two seater sofa that converted into a pull out bed. There was a dining table, chairs, a sideboard, plenty of cutlery, and a china cabinet. We saw the new sofas being put in other rooms and we disappointed that our one was broken. We did report it, but as it wasn't being used as a bed, we didn't want the upheaval of the delivery guys spoiling our time with the kids.

Our bedroom had a full size bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers, bedside tables, lamps, and a telephone.

I hate, hate, HATE when the maids use the public washers and dryers. Shame on the hotel. Unfortunately, that is a problem that I am running into everywhere we go more and more frequently.

Does sound nice. I guess a couple of issues are to be expected anywhere. I'll be keeping this article on file.

Great review, Susan. It's a pity the sofa bed was broken when you arrived. You'd think that it would have been removed from the room before your arrival. Shame about the laundry service too. But overall, it sounds like a good place to go visit. Enjoy your trip back home! Sophie
