This is not a place for a romantic weekend. It's seen better days. Most (48) double rooms are twin beds pushed together (hard edging and dips in middle), thin duvets, badly made sheet direct on matress, shabby cushions, marks on carpets, average bath - not walk in shower. Marks on carpets, cold room, coffee facilities in the wardrobe, long, long wait at bar, luke warm breakfast. This was NOT a luxury, romantic experience. Holding hands was uncomfortable in those beds. Dismissive receptionists. Great food in reastaurant though.

I'd like to know that the website raises unrealistic expectations of luxury, for most rooms.

As a wedding photographer I attend Aston Hall on a regular basis. I find the staff very helpful and the feeling that I get from the bride and grooms is positive. The venue is very modern on the inside and stately on the exterior. I'd reccommend it as a wedding venue. My only concern and this is because I am a photographer is that the grounds are a little limiting but its not a major issue at all.

Aston Hall happily took our money for a Dec 05 wedding, and then advised us months later that they had doubled booked us with a Christmas party. The response was unapologetic, rude + shoddy - we were treated with contempt when the venue had spoiled the most important day of our lives. We lost money on deposits and postage spent on inviting people to our wedding at Aston Hall. We were refused compensation and had to reschedule our wedding to take place in 2006 as by that time all Christmas wedding dates were booked up in all venues. Luckily we have found a nicer venue with A* service at a lower price. This caused us so much stress. Just beware this venue.
