Verified Reviews of Wivenhoe House Hotel
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently: "Very pleasant stay!"
Overall Score4.0/ 5
Really nice that the hotel was able to give us an early check in so we could get changed for the wedding we were attending that day at the hotel. Very comfortable, clean, spacious room in the Garden Wing (1st floor). Fantastic to have big doors to a balcony overlooking the beautiful grounds. Great service from all the staff: bar, restaurant, reception.
