The setting at Bowood House and Gardens is fantastic and the gardens are very well kept. The paths around the gardens and lakes are accessible to all. The adventure playground was excellent for our daughter and provided an afternoon of entertainment. We liked it so much we brought a season ticket!

My wife and I got married at Bowood House on 19th June 2004. During the reception Bowood's serving staff knocked over a lit candle and bottle of red wine - the red wine covered my wife's dress. They served incorrect meals (e.g. Pork to a Muslim friend). They've offered me no written appology, even denied they were at fault. Location - excellent, service and "after sales" service appaling.

I have attended several functions at Bowood as I live locally and have always found the staff and service excellent. It would also appear from looking at tripadvisor and hitched.co.uk and the numerous excellent reviews on both these sites, that everyone else has found Bowood an excellent venue with superb facilities. Also there are numerous comments on these sites about the staff being friendly and very accommodating. (I too found this as my family made some very last minute seating changes to a family party we holding and Bowood did everything they could to help)
<br/>I think the new hotel is lovely- the interior design is very tasteful and individual, with pieces from Bowood's history also on display. A welcome difference to chain hotels who can appear somewhat clinical. I also enjoyed the excellent food and service when I had dinner at the hotel with my parents - all the extra touches like the complimentary appetiser delicious truffles with coffee, attentive silver service all made the evening that extra bit special. I personally would recommend it.
