The Hall Reviews

Your photos did not do the Hall justice. It was a fabulous location for my 60th birthday weekend with friends and family. The communication beforehand was sketchy and checking some details took time but the location and property did not disappoint.
Richard
A magnificent looking property which did not live up to our expectations. Electrical fusing issues affected the kitchen and repeatedly tripped the circuit. A couple of the bedrooms struggled to get the heating to work, and heating failed across the whole house for at least 5hours on the Sunday morning. The television in the lounge did not work, and the lighting in the long upstairs bedroom corridor did not work. We would advise other groups to ensure you log all concerns as and when they occur with the caretaker.
Kitchen is well equipped and all beds were very comfortable. Thank you for sorting out all the issues that arose during our stay. We appreciate these things can happen.
Some shortage of cutlery, particularly table knives There was a coffee machine but no filter papers that was a real problem In the long upstairs bedroom corridor the light came on and off all night although no one was in the corridor. It was a fabulous place well furnished, well decorated and clean and no one bothered us in any way. Lovely grounds. kids loved the swing!
We were a group of 19 from Sandwell Ramblers and had an amazing week. The property was well laid out and having 2 kitchens was excellent for a large group. Middleton Hall were very generous with supplies, dishwasher tablets, cleaning cloths, toilet rolls on arrival etc. The property had so many areas to relax. The king size rooms were very spacious. Our criteria as a group are for all rooms to be en suite and this property ticked the boxes. The only feedback from the group was that the WiFi was hit and miss and a couple of the bedrooms struggled to get heating to work. The bath definitely needs replacing as the enamel is chipping away and very discoloured. Another observation was there was no where to hang wet coats clothing following a walk in the rain. The above did not have any affect on a brilliant fun filled week and every member of our party left the property with wonderful memories and a smile on their faces. Thank you Middleton Hall for a fabulous week.
