This Warner Hotel Is Basically A Cruise Ship! 

If you have not tried they are a must my favourite is bodelwyddan something about a castle 👍🙋

I agree with you, that if you don’t want to go abroad but like cruises, then Warners might be worth a go. We’ve been to several! We stayed in a suite in the Manor House at Heythrop last October and like your room, it was beautiful (and had a separate sitting room)! It was 33 steps to get upstairs to the rooms though, in the Manor House, and there was no lift… Like others have said, though, it is far too big a property if you have mobility issues - there’s no easy way to get from the Manor House to other parts of the site if you can’t easily walk up and down stairs - the easiest way is to go outside, but that’s only good if the weather is fine! The food was delicious, but to dine in the restaurant of your choice, you have to book early! I don’t think I’d want to stay at Heythrop again - pretty much all of the entertainment was at the other end of the hotel and it would have been nice to have some events, like talks or tastings, in the Manor House (there was nothing when we were there). Cricket St Thomas had similar issues with distance to the dining/entertainment when we were there - it’s a choice you have to make; beautiful, historic rooms, or proximity to where ‘the action’ is. But there are many Warner hotels that are super and you don’t have to worry that the nicest entertainment, etc., is too far away to walk to. I thoroughly enjoy Warners and if I can’t go on a cruise, I find that Warners is a great alternative!❤️

Warner hotels are great I use them often (as well as cruising) but not Heythrop Park as yet. But they are not cheap, in Sept 23 the Superior Room type featured will be between £1336 - £1736 for four nights. Stunning, absolutely, but a little above me.

Lovely place stayed there earlier this year

I was looking forward to this video since seeing you posted about this place on Instagram - I'm hearing such good things about this chain! Whilst I appreciate the cruise ship link, that room doesn't look overly similar to my usual inside cabin on Deck 2... Haha! Great video :)

It made an interesting change from watching your cruise videos which I also enjoy very much.

Jenni, I totally agree with you. Anyone enjoys cruises must like Warner’s also. Have you checked Tom and Dom’s Heythrop vid? I‘ve never been there but on a mission to complete my annual Warner’s crawl. I couldn’t go any of them in some years but a few more left. I used to visit 1 every Twixmas but my employer/s has/have banned hols in the festive period. So I‘ve decided to go there around my birthday by Shearings’ coach. Will get to Nidd Hall next week.

I got to your site (and here) through the Cruise Critic boards, someone posted a link., I signed up for your email list, refreshing to see a young Brit woman running a service like this :) Now, about this hotel. Is great, but is not a ship ... our land holidays are to go for history, local food, exploring the cities.... we have taken 5 stars resorts holidays that have exactly the same (some even better, but this was over 10 years ago) but our idea of a land holiday isn't the resort type (which this plainly is) I don't think you can really "see" or learn much about the cities you stop in ports during a` cruise, but what we love is life at sea... so, maybe this kind of hotel is great for others, not for us, but thank you for. great review, I'm of to read at the site (yours!)

Yeah but when I went it was like Butlins for old people

Far too big, such a long way to get to entertainment and spa place was absolutely Freezing and Manager nowhere to be found. LANDED UP with an oil filled Radiator with cables all across the living area floor ,no Heating working. So far to walk outside to get to spa, ridiculous. Everywhere Freezing people sitting in there quilted coats to watch shows, not worth the costs.

What room did you have please? Ie a suite?

OK.nothing like a cruise ship.. it's stunning! I bet it costs an arm and leg to stay there.😊
