Lovely staff especially at the bar which was fitted out beautifully and I loved the little history lessons in the bar menu. The doors slam really hard and wake you up so soft closing doors would be a good investment! Nice hotel and really yummy breakfast

Nice hotel but overpriced. Newly refurbed room was very tasteful and comfortable but bathroom was tiny. Cream tea was overpriced, poor quality cakes.

I always have an impeccable experience staying at Sopwell House. Staff are great, attentive, very accommodating and well versed at keeping guests comfortable and relaxed. Cannot fault the facilities - restaurants, spa, lounging areas - all are amazing. A special home experience away from home and I can’t wait to return again.
