With an ecclectic, grandeur interior and period hunting lodge exterior, the Belstead Brook hotel is truly one of a kind and thats why we love it. The very clean comfortable rooms and friendly staff makes our stays all the more enjoyable.

The restaurant for evening meals was great. Really good food. The breakfast buffet could have had a bit more choice but was adequate
Room was very clean, bathroom was lagging of a hanger/hook for towels. Staff cleaned room everyday and also topped up our teas and coffee satchels that was very helpful.
Spa was clean and atmospheric.

Overpriced stay, old accommodation with serious reservations needs. Pool was clean and it was only positive thing about the stay. Breakfast was over priced with horrible quality.
They charge you 5 star rates for 2 star service. We had three rooms there paid 120 for each and 30 extra for breakfast which was only bread and butter and lowes quality English breakfast.

Disliked: Amenities
The hotel was okay for the money. The room was nice enough and staff polite and friendly. The spa was very rundown with tiles missing from the bottom of the pool so potentially dangerous. It was also overcrowded and my treatments were cancelled at the last minute due to lack of staff. Overall not a very relaxing spa experience. I definitely wouldn't recommend the spa
Lovely staff, room, spa, dinner, and breakfast except the scrambled eggs which were very unappealing! Only gripe is we were unable to book a spa break at the last minute so were charged £15 to borrow robes for the spa!!!
A one night stay for a meeting nearby and would happily stay here again. Nice friendly staff, clean, decent food. If I was being picky the pool a touch on the small side once a few people are swimming, and eating in the bar area it felt a little empty of atmosphere. Overall great and look forward to a return
We really liked the Spa, we only slept one night and it was a quiet place and the decor with antique furniture was very beautiful. I highly recommend it.
The accommodations was clean and the staff were friendly and polite we enjoyed our stay

Comfortable and classic stay
The experience at Muthu was great. Staff were very courteous as well as accommodating. The swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna were great too. I liked the vibe of the place and the entrance is really grand. Gives a classy look without the expensive price tag.
