Champneys Forest Mere

“Tranquil nature outside and exceptional facilities inside and out.”

Everything was perfect: the lake, the Canada geese, the trees, and the stunning building. I even heard a gentleman playing piano in the piano room, which was unexpectedly beautiful for guests to enjoy.

The breakfast was amazing.

“disappointing”

The restaurant was bright, and the staff were lovely, helpful, pleasant, and cheery. We had to move rooms after taking a video of the first one, which was neither clean nor adequate; the bath had a shower curtain, a hole in the back of the door where the hook had been, and the door had wear marks where things had been hung. Paint was peeling off the walls. Initially, they wanted us to pay £70 per day for an upgrade, which we refused and switched to a different, better room. That room’s cleanliness was average. We were unaware that the booking required us to pay to use the spa facilities, a detail not made clear on the website. I booked with the intention to swim and wasn’t prepared to pay £70 for a swim, and I had no interest in the other wet facilities. A friend and I removed cobwebs from her light fittings. The interiors were tired and long past their prime. For a spa, the fresh fruit selection was minimal—just melon or heavily sugared berries.

“Lovely view and that’s it. Rooms and service poor and not able to provide an itemised bill. Charged for two dinners only”

The location is beautiful. The bedrooms feel dated, and breakfast offers a limited menu with slow service.

“The pianist at the Piano bar was amazing, absolutely wonderful. Should be on your payroll.”

Beautiful grounds, lovely staff. The beds pushed together. The fact that check in is at 5pm and checkout at 11am… doesn’t give much time to enjoy the facilities as well as have dinner, given that the restaurant last sitting is 8.30pm
