Champneys Tring

Really lovely relaxing , impressive Hotel. Looking a bit tired now . Stayed back in 2014 and then 2026 looks a bit dated in some places . Otherwise wonderful breakfast , comfy beds .

LIMITED ACCESSIBILITY / DISABILITY – CHAMPNEYS TRING I'm sharing this to help disabled travellers make an informed choice. Prior to my stay, I was told Room 73 had an accessible wet room. However, it had a low-level bath. Staff confirmed the information was incorrect and told me the hotel was full and Room 72 was the only room with an accessible wet room. The guest staying there was approached while eating her evening meal and asked to swap rooms with me. She agreed. Staff told me the accessible rooms are beyond the Garden Wing, at the back of the hotel. That, there are none near the main reception because rooms there can only be reached by stairs. There is no accessible parking immediately outside the hotel. There are 2 accessible spaces near the gym reception, closer to Room 73. We were told we could park and check in there. We could park there, but fitness staff said we couldn't check in and had to go to the main reception. The walk from the main reception to Room 72 took someone without mobility difficulties 5 minutes. Using a walking aid, it took me approximately 10 minutes each way. Breakfast is near the main reception, and the route includes long corridors and an incline. Other guests using mobility aids told me they'd experienced similar difficulties and were equally surprised by the location of the accessible rooms. I hope this helps other disabled people decide whether the hotel can meet their needs. See hotel map: Fitness reception (O) | Room location (X)

Fabulous place but the pool areas could do with a clean up and refurb Grounds . Staff and food all superb

I think this hotel has Hotel.com and Booking specific rooms in the hotel. The grounds are grand and passing areas like the spa elevates the look of an otherwise outdated and tired hotel past it's best. My room was on the same side of a hallway that hosted some luxury looking rooms on the right vs dorm room doors on the left (I was in the rooms on the left). The room was clean although it had a few flags - prompts on the bedside to make a cup of tea, but no kettle? Toiletries opened and potentially used in the bathroom. "Filtered water" in the room which had it's seal broken and the water tasted a bit rank. The buffet breakfast looks the part but the coffee was shocking and a lot of the food tasted stale, old and far from quality. I used the sauna which was lovely and the pool areas looked relaxing. For some reason you have to give your robe back at reception? At peak departure times this became pretty messy and seems quite unhygienic for FOH staff to do. Hey, its the best I could find in the area. I'd probably go back if I had to but I hope the hotels owners see this and put some of that spa money to where it could elevate the entire venue to match it's exterior charm. I'd have raised these in person but even using the express checkout was hassle enough.
