We had an amazing stay, instantly loved the place. The golf course is beautiful. My room was spacious and big bathroom was clean and tidy and also big. I love that there was so many games and lots of open space inside. For the hotel we went, what was your favorite part? The breakfast and dinner area and the options were all brilliant. Only complain I had was that the carpet was not clean enough inside the room. The pool was nice and warm.
Really nice hotel rooms. Ideal for a business overnight stay. The 1560 lounge and bar in Mansion House was a nice place to dine and relax. Breakfast in the main building was great too. Highly recommend, would go again. Special thanks to Ellie at reception, great customer service!
Such a beautiful place with so many photographic places. The Afternoon Tea was nice but did seem as though it had been prepared and left out. The person who took me had a much better experience in the summer, So I do look forward to trying it again then with the added hope of the weather allowing me to view the grounds. Staff were amazing.
We recently held our daughter’s wedding party at the De Vere Wokefield Estate on Saturday, January 3rd, 2026, and the experience was nothing short of amazing. From start to finish, the service was outstanding and the location was stunning. The guest rooms were very large, clean, and well-maintained, providing a comfortable stay for everyone. The event setup was perfect, and the entire staff worked tirelessly to ensure everything ran smoothly. We would like to give a special mention to Ivan, Bernadette, Olga, and Domingo, who looked after our party from beginning to end with incredible care. We also want to thank the Wedding and Event team for their meticulous planning and organization. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a top-tier venue. Thank you all for making this day so special! Greetings from Malak & Adreace
