Highly recommended

We have just returned from a great week's stay at Studley Castle in Warwickshire. When we arrived, the check-in process was smooth and stress-free. Our luggage was taken from us and placed outside the door of our room until we were able to access it at 3pm. I would like to express special thanks to Sophie from the grounds staff, who left her electric vehicle and helped to carry our luggage into reception. The castle lounges were clean and comfortable with a lunch menu and drinks were available which were charged to our room account. There is a wonderful view over the surrounding fields from the lounge terrace. The room we had on the second floor, was clean, comfortable and spacious, with an excellent view. The food is excellent, well prepared and well presented. Although much of the food is self service, there is always plenty of choice and availability. My wife has an allergy to rapeseed oil and tomatoes and this was well taken care of by the professionalism of the chefs, Mark and Alistair, who visited her at the breakfast table on a daily basis and went through the menu of the day. She was able to make her choice in advance for her evening meal. Ellie our waitress was excellent in taking care of our food selection and chasing up any rare delays. I must congratulate the restaurant management team for organising a good supply of large jugs of iced tap water with the evening meal. Our seat in the Evesham restaurant had a good view of the stage where some excellent entertainment took place in the evening. Some of the entertainment wasn't to our taste, but we both appreciate not everyone's taste is the same. We did enjoy the singing and professionalism of Ella May Holmes and the New Dynamics, the resident band. Overall, we had an excellent holiday at Studley Castle, which prompted us to visit the holiday shop and book another break in the near future. I would like to mention and thank Sian and her colleagues for looking after us efficiently when we re-booked.
