This place confused the hell out of my colleague and I. We took ages trying to find our rooms at the back of the hotel. You have to go up to get down to your room! Very confusing walk back to reception. The bar prices are a little steep, £6-45 a large glass of very average red. Spa was ok, pool was busy with private lessons. Breakfast was ok, self service, and coffee from a machine. Ok if you want just want somewhere to lay your head after busy day.

I felt it was a but shabby, restaurant had run out if some meals and some wine and beer was not available, service and staff were ok, but the best ever, they had run out of room keys, so I was let in by a porter then had to stuff paper in the socket you would put your key to turn on electric, just sums it up for me. Apart from that is was fair but not the best

Stayed here for two nights over a weekend in February. We have stayed at many De Vere Village hotels over the years and enjoy the swimming pool, sauna, etc.
In this case, the pool was excellent, sauna ok, but the steam room was too hot, even the regulars weren't using it.
The room was tired, to say the least. The window casement did not fit the frame so there was an icy draught. The heater controls were broken and the sink was nearly blocked. As for the TV, the picture was grainy, the aspect ratio incorrect and the channel selection poor.
I told the receptionist about the sink and window problem and she was completely disinterested.
Food and service was reasonable. There was a pub quiz which was advertised for 7:00pm. The locals knew it started at 9:00pm, so, despite asking the bar staff when it was going to start we had to wait two hours in the bar when we could have had a meal in the restaurant then gone to the quiz.
Definitely the worst Village hotel I have stayed in. However, it was cheap, so doesn't get too bad a review.

We stayed here last Friday and had a great stay. The reception was good and so was our room. The Victory bar was good value so was the Verve. The set meal £29 for two was great value. I noticed that a plastic bag had been wrapped around the smoke alarm and informed reception they arranged for it to be removed with haste. The hotel was very clean and all in all very nice. The Buffett breakfast was ok. The service at Breakfast was very attentive while being seated we where asked if we had a good night sleep and that if we needed any porridge or boiled eggs to let them know. I will stay here again

Booked the de vere as a last minute get away with the family! Having stayed at Chester we knew what to expect but were still pleasantly surprised! This one seemed to be run much better lovely pool, receptionist staff were fantastic and the staff in the pub were also brilliant. Only negatives I can think of about this hotel bad customer service and food in the verve they look at you more like you are a nuisance and not a paying guest! And don't even apologise when they know they are In the wrong just overall bad attitudes! And another negative u don't expect to see senior management drinking alcohol while on shift, as to me this gives the wrong impression. Overall an enjoyable experience until we went to the verve restaurant!

I stayed at The Village hotel recently with a group as part of a hen weekend. It was very good value for money and the package included bed and breakfast, a three course meal as part of the ABBA tribute night.
The hotel is quite big and the communal areas are lovely, Starbucks as you walk in, an open fireplace and seating area by reception, a huge pool, a bar area and separate restaurant. The only thing to let it down is the bedroom.
We were given room 231 and the bedroom itself was fine but the bathroom was very dated which was unusual as the bedroom itself had been refurbished. The tiles were old, the shower was dated and the towel rail had long wires coming out of it, (quite dangerous if you trip yourself up coming out of the shower). Also an air con system is desperately needed and the TV channel reception is poor and the choice of channels are limited.
I would probably stay here again if we were celebrating another occasion but I’d probably look for a room upgrade. Also some of the staff could have been a little more professional (we were completely ignored at breakfast whilst waiting to be seated).

Stayed here overnight as it was cheaper than getting the taxi home after work christmas do. Service great, room comfortable, breakfast great, with very flexible timing.
Would definitely use this hotel again - plan to try the spa facilities next time.

Stayed as part of a hen package , check in busy but efficient , rooms comfortable , spa really good v relaxing and friendly . Had very good back massage and we were welcome to spend time in the relaxation space . Lobby very relaxing to sit and chat in . Attended the ABBA party night v well run, nice meal , comfortable spacious lounge areas with bar. Great if busy breakfast next morning and a visit to the pool/ hot tub rounded off a lovely stay. Would recommend for groups of friends or just a couple of people wanting a bit of chill out time .Some really good spa packages advertised throughout the hotel.
