Good Points: Great all round venue.
Bad Points: The linen trolleys don't have inflatable tyres.
General comments: We visited the New Place for a friends wedding and were delighted by the beautiful setting. Most, if not all, of the rooms are situated in rows of challis 30 seconds walk away from the main building. The rooms are well equipped, comfortable and spacious. Breakfast buffet has plenty of choice for everyone. And the hotel has its own spa, which unfortunately we had no time to test drive.One downside of our visit was being woken up at 7.30 on Saturday morning by the noise of the linen trolleys being wheeled over the paved walkway outside our room for 20 minutes. Enough to wake us before our long day. We requested a different room and got a bit of a cold reception and overheard another customer mentioning the disruption, to which the staff denied all knowledge.However we were relocated to another room, away from the cleaning stores, and slept through on Sunday morning, to our delight. Overall, a very nice hotel and pleasant weekend, although I'd suggest that the hotel invest in some inflatable tyres for their linen trolleys!
