Amazing weekends outside London

Stoke by Nayland Resort is a wonderful retreat in the heart of Constable Country. The setting is stunning, the rooms are comfortable, and the spa and dining are top-class. What really made our stay special, though, was the staff. A special thanks to Giuseppe, one of the Walters, whose warm and attentive service made us feel truly welcome. Highly recommended—we can’t wait to return!

Upon arrival I was met with nice friendly staff. I had my wedding reception here so I already knew the place was top notch. Brilliant hotel, throughly recommend. If I could pick one issue is that the wifi wasn’t the best and didn’t really work.

Average with potential

It was an ok stay but niggled with small issues. The gym was being rebuilt, the sauna disnt work properly and the pool had a bizarre lane rule for periods of swimming that limited the capacity of the pool to about 5 people. The decoration in parts is dated. I would add i dont play golf so if course is fantastic that may make up for other issues.

i am a blue badge holder - the facilities for parking were poor as directors and committee have priority. the young waitress at dinner table was disinterested, she was ignorant of words such as teetotal, carbohydrates, diabetic. Room 101 - the bed is located far too close to the window and curtain, making it virtually impossible to move past the bed without touching and therefore opening the curtain. My wife was extremely pleased with the massage.
