It was a lovely place to stay.
1-night trip

8/10 Good

Reading some of the reviews ahead of our visit, we were a little concerned after we’d made our booking but we needn’t have been concerned! The staff we met with during our stay were very helpful, welcoming and friendly. Our room, although it looked a little tired, it was very spacious, clean and comfortable - and served its purpose for exactly what we needed (just an overnight stay whilst we visited friends in the area). Whilst some refurbishment is needed of the bedroom and bathroom, we found the cost we paid for the room reflected this, so did not feel we were overcharged for something we didn’t receive. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and the area extremely quiet! We enjoyed our stay…just wish the weather had been better so we could walk around and enjoy the grounds!!

A lovely room in great location Only issue was check in process - was told go to golf club but it was actually the restaurant so not clear
jane, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Night staff very helpful. room and location perfect. Let down completely by the painfully slow breakfast service
Matthew, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Furnishing a little dated but comfortable and luxurious rooms. The grounds are superb. Golf course is excellent. Restaurant on site. Staff helpful. Convenient location.
Greig, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

2 night stay, there was no restaurant facilities available after 17.30 on the first night so had to dine early. Second night dined at the local pub. Only 1 teabag each night! Rooms quiet which would be expected in the middle of a golf course in winter. Nothing to do on the complex probably due to the time of year.
Wayne, 2-night trip

Melbourne Lodge was fantastic, we stayed for one night and couldn’t fault it in any way. The grounds are beautiful, the room was lovely and the service was outstanding. Will definitely come back next time we’re in Hatfield!

Exceptional

Had a one night stay here on a business trip, in a lovely rural setting on a golf course, everything was good, staff, service, food, room comfort. a little expensive but very nice.
Paul, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The bedroom was large, clean and comfortable. The lodge is a separate building from the clubhouse where tasty breakfast and evening meal were served. Thankfully, the weather was kind and the walk between both buildings pleasant. The staff were particularly friendly and welcoming.
Bethan Aur, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Expected a more luxurious room. TV screen mini size. More milk for the tea could only make 2 cups. Not value for money
Siven, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Beautiful grounds. Room decor was tired with stained headboard. Lovely breakfast, although service was slow.
Yvonne, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

100% id stay again.

Absolutely lovely place to stay, the only let down was that although i booked a double bed room the bed wasn't a full size double and the quilt wasn't large enough to cover me completely, the saving grace was the additional banket on the bed. I will stay again but will ensure i communicate with them prior to my stay to ensure they accommodate my 6,4" needs. another positive was the fact i could shower without having to Squat under the shower head. which is often a problem in some of the larger chain hotels.
Graham, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Needs an room overhaul!

Very limited instructions on arrival. The deluxe room was very tired looking holes in a dirty and threadbare carpet - unable to use bath or shower as the entry is very deep and even deeper getting out. Room very clean tho - no instructions as to wifi or times of breakfast. Charged an extortionate £50 for a small dog - one night! Amazing breakfast and fast service
Caroline, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

It should be 5 stars but just isn’t (yet)..

This place is set in the most beautiful surroundings and the staff are wonderful, it was really clean and comfortable. The place has so much potential however am not sure I would go back at the moment. Our room decor really felt tired with a few things missing and certainly wouldn’t put it into the ‘luxury’ category, however the price bracket certainly is!

Noisy in next room
Robin, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Amazing location and very comfortable but…

Amazing location, very quiet and rural close to the lake. The property whilst comfortable and clean desperately needs a refurb. Threadbare carpets and fittings are from the 80’s, there are no USB points and no air conditioning. Fortunately the weather was cool but a hot summers day would be a different story. I would stay here again but a full modern refit would make it an amazing place to stay. Finally, for those with an electric car there is a charge point close to the rooms.
Ian, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Misleading information on dining amenities. Lists with 2 restaurants open for all 3 meals. There was no indication that their main restaurant was closed and the other restaurant closed at 5 pm. I had to email to find this out. I would not have booked if I knew I could not eat or drink past 5 pm. The recommendation was a pub nearby. It is a very overly priced 1-night stay for a place with no dinner options or room service.
