What guests think

Across reviews, Burntwood Court Hotel is praised for friendly staff, generally clean rooms, and a quiet countryside setting, while recurring gripes include £20 fees for gym or spa access and dated, dimly lit rooms with very small TVs.

Many guests like the food and breakfasts, though a few found dishes average, choices limited, or coffee weak. Room comfort varies, with hard beds, thin walls, and wedding noise reported, while others found beds comfy. Facilities and event spaces are considered good, but occasional maintenance niggles are noted. Expect a straightforward stay with solid amenities, but check what’s included and room features.

Nice hotel and facilities,, really good leisure facilities but the food was mediocre for dining. warm not hot, dried mushrooms for the steak and cold chips and onion rings. When I mentioned the staff just apologized and took my plate.

Hidden spa / gym cost of £20 per day it is in the small print - they would not deduct

Booked the hotel as it stated a gym on Expedia. Was told by reception that gym use was an additional £20. Checked Expedia details again and in small print, it stated that "pool" use was £20. I only used the gym. Just seems a steep price when youve already paid for a room. The room itself was adequate, very little toileries. (2 x tiny shower gels) and the shower overflowed on the 2 occasions that i used it. Staff were friendly and helpful at breakfast when they wrapped my breakfast to go.

Description on Hotels.com doesn’t say that you have to pay extra to use the gym facilities… which is an extra £20.. If I knew this then wouldn’t have booked this accommodation. Room was basic but clean..

The rooms are alright. The bathroom was alright. The shower was very small. IF you book through hotels.com then you have to pay £20 per day to use the facilities i.e. Gym. Not good. The food in the bar was Okay. The staff at the hotel were very good and friendly.

X1 night stay. Rating was high 7's - however it should be mid 8's. Good value for money, clean, quiet and a comfy bed. The gym is as good as youll get when working away from home. The staff were all v.pleasant and accomodating.

I’ve stayed here many times. Rooms are clean, tidy and well looked after. The TV is very small though, so if you want to watch something, it could be a bit of a challenge. The hotel is in a safe countryside area. I like that there’s nothing else around, but others might prefer more nearby. Hot fresh breakfast is good, but the coffee isn’t great. I’d like to see more fruit and yoghurt options as I don’t eat a full breakfast. I’ll happily stay again.

2 night stay whilst visiting friends that live near by. Comfortable, clean room. I thought tv was a little too small and struggled to see the programmes at times. Also, as I was in the building separate from the main hotel I felt a little uneasy coming back at night (as I was travelling alone), and room was at the far end at the back of the building. Staff were friendly, nice breakfast and bar and restaurant were good. Definitely stay again

The hotel was very very nice with helpful staff and very clean accomodation. Every aspect of our visit was catered for and the wedding and reception was excellent with nothing forgotten and presented in style. The only and only aspect which was not quite right for me was that the hotel was a little cold bearing in mind the wether outside.

Nice, clean hotel in quiet surroundings however staff came across rather stern and not particularly friendly. Beds were hard and uncomfortable and the walls were thin as we could hear next door coughing all night. Shower was very loud and again we could next doors shower when they turned it on at 5am. Overall it was ok.

Ive stayied here many times, good for the price, areas of my room were slighlty tired especially the bed side tables. The tv in the room is incredibly small. Shower and bathroom, superb. Room 8 is near the exit which would be fine if the main doors had a soft close. Breakfast good. Overal id stay again, no major problems.

Unfortunately the hotel was very busy with a wedding and the noise, slamming of doors, loud noise was woeful. We tried ringing at 01:00am to complain but no-one answered. We eventually got to sleep around 1:45. The room looked tired and worn. When we complained to reception the following morning there was a total disinterest and lack of concern. We will not be staying here again.

Actually laughable this is a 5 star. We had a superior room. Room was severely dated, there was no main light for the room, just two lamps, my wife advises this makes it quite dark/difficult to get ready on a night. The only full length mirror was in the bathroom again same issue as previous. the double bed looked tiny, perhaps was a small double?! For the price paid and the 5* expectation, I was sourly disappointed, I would go as far to say they are getting away with it due to the fact there is no close competition, would take a premier inn over this drab affair, oh and at half the price no less.

The staff was great and extremely friendly, in the hotel there is no place to buy anything,no water snacks or items that you may have forgotten. They are in the middle of nowhere so you cant walk to buy anything. There is no open bar in the hotel so you have to walk or drive to the bar and restaurant to eat or drink. The rooms have very bad lighting no place to read.
