Donnington & Co. golf course

The 18-hole course is a true gem of Berkshire. Spread across 6,221 yards, it follows the natural landscape, weaving between mature trees and water features that come into play at just the right moments. The front nine offers chances to score, while the final four holes turn the dial up - the kind of finish where a good round can become unforgettable. And then there’s our iconic 15th hole, the ‘Big Dipper’. At over 500 yards, it’s as much about patience as power.

The proximity of the tremendous clubhouse at the end of each loop makes for a superb amphitheatre to welcome your comrades home during your golf break, corporate or society outing at Donnington Valley.

Front desk staff should not be in customer service. The S.A lady was unaccommodating and lets say direct. Bar was short staffed and many guests complained that they felt like "second class citizens" due to the priority a wedding party was given. They were observed to get extended check out times and early check in. Our 3 rooms were not given that accommodation, in fact, we were warned late fees would be applied if after 11am. No WiFi reception in our rooms, the Vented AC rattles when on, and the shower backs up. Decor is frankly dated! There is a turnstile feeling to staying there, like you're on a conveyor belt - NEXT. The saving part was the golf and the lovely Spa staff. Its a lovely location and course, the hotel has work to do.

My only complaint is that once again my request to you and the hotel seemed to be ignored I specifically asked for my group to be separated from the other diners as we are a large group and can be loud not offensive, so when i arrived they put us in the main restaurant area! I asked the duty manager if he could move us but he wasn't aware of my request!! so we agreed to dine in the restaurant but he allowed us to use the upstairs area for our auction, so my point is why they hadn't set up that area in the first place, it wasn't being refurbished as i was originally informed and also we weren't put in the cromwell suite as i was told some weeks ago!! So you can imagine I wasn't best pleased with what can only be a lack of communication between YGT and the hotel! I would like a full explanation why this situation was allowed to develope.

Loved staying here and will return. We turned up and there had been a mix up with the booking, walked into our room to find a big double bed which had me and my mate looking at each other and laughing, went straight to reception and they sorted us a twin room within minutes so the stay are excellent. Rooms are perfect, big and spacious with everything you’d need/expect. Spa is excellent… steam, sauna, pool, jacuzzi, gym. You are given towels on arrival and a key card to use the lockers. Restaurant is good. Breakfast was quality. Evening meal was the only negative of the trip to be honest, the food is absolutely lovely but the staff were a bit confused… one night we were allowed to sit outside but the next we weren’t. One night we were asked how we’d like our steak cooked the next we were told you have to have it how it comes when ordering from the set golf package menu. One night we’d have complimentary water for the table the next night they’d charge us for it. The service charge would change from night to night. The hotel and the start of the golf course are a couple minutes drive from one another. None of this put a dampener on the stay tho and we would 100% return.

The rooms, bar and restaurant area of this hotel were all lovely. We especially enjoyed our evening meal in the restaurant and feel that the pre-paid nature of the meal was dealt with very well by staff. I opted to have a pedicure treatment in the spa which was fantastic and the staff were very friendly. My only complaint about the hotel is the spa area which in my opinion should not be sold to customers as a suitable spa for adults. The entire pool and spa area was open to children meaning it was not a relaxing experience and the lower than expected experience was not reflected in the high price for drinks etc. in the spa area.

1. Before we confirmed our booking one of our party informed me that he had been advised, that it was necessary to drive between the hotel and the golf course, which is something we prefer not to do. As a result I did call you at the time and was reassured that this was not the case and that the course and the Hotel was on the same site as such no driving between the 2 points would be needed. It became apparent on arrival that this was unfortunately not the case and other than an excessively long walk of some 15 minutes or more, driving was in fact the only prudent way to get to the Golf shop to obtain cards, buggies and walk on to the tee. In addition the limited car park at the “Golf Club” made it extremely difficult to park, in fact on the last day eventually only made possible by a kind member of staff permitting us to park in a “None Parking” bay. The above made for a very stressful start particularly on the 1st day when we had limited time to get to the Golf Club after travelling. 2. On check in we were informed that there would be no Restaurant service for breakfast and that a pre-ordered continental breakfast would be delivered to the room in a paper bag! We had not been pre warned or advised by either Yourgolftravel or the Hotel in advance that this would be the case. The “excuse” given for this on arrival was “due to Covid”, however after eventually speaking to the Hotel Manager in the evening, she informed me that they had staff shortages due to an inability to recruit staff. Of course breakfast together as a group is an important part of the holiday, allowing an opportunity for social interchange and planning for the day ahead, delivery of a modest breakfast in the room of course denies this opportunity and was extremely disappointing. 3. It was evident that the operational arrangements between course and Hotel are “work in progress” as were a number of the hotel practises and procedures, for example being told that if we wanted to watch live sport on TV after golf there were a couple of local pubs we could drive to as the Hotel only had freeview! 4. Bar prices were felt by the group to be excessive, examples being £2 for a small 25g bag of crisps, £5.30 for a pint of beer and to add insult to injury a policy of “automatically” adding a 10% “Gratuity” charge to the bill even if you collected your drinks directly from the bar making what was already an over the top charge event more expensive!!

Everything was perfect with one slight exception. The Hotel, admittedly due to the Covid and staffing levels, could only supply us with a goody bag containing a pretty awful excuse for a continental breakfast. Hungry grow men require a good cooked breakfast before golf. This was very disappointing. Hence I can only give four stars for overall rating.

We enjoyed a glorious 3 days playing golf and staying at the hotel. The staff were very attentive and the hotel was bright airy and clean. The rooms were a good size and we were call next to each other on the ground floor. Unfortunately we couldn’t take breakfast in the restaurant due to the hotels Covid restrictions but the breakfast was delivered to our room and was very tasty. The restaurant had a lovely covered outdoors area and it was perfect on a hot summer evening. The menu was excellent as was the food and service. The staff were super and even reserved us a lovely outdoors table for coffee after dinner.

We stayed on a Sunday night with dinner B&B. The staff could not be more helpful. I had contacted them prior to arrival to arrange dinner seating and they promptly replied and obliged. When we arrived everything was explained to us regarding our stay. The rooms were very comfortable with good facilities. Dinner was excellent, they even had place names with our pre ordered food choices! All round we were very well treated and we will return.

The only comment I would like to make is that they didn’t have enough bar staff. We were waiting a long time to be served and some ladies didn’t get their drinks before we had to go into the restaurant. We were supposed to eat at 8 o’clock but eventually got our food at 8.40 and because the bar closed at 10 we couldn’t have a nightcap.

Fantastic hotel, one of the best we have stayed in. Rooms were comfortable and clean. All in all the hotel was very good. Staff were generally polite and helpful, however the restaurant staff were less so. Although we pre ordered our food several days in advance, the staff had difficulty deciphering who had ordered what. I believe the whole process, from the request to order before the stay, to the waiting on table could do with a looking at. I must say though, in their defence, not all the problems were of the staffs making. Some of our group did not help the situation by not remembering what they had ordered. A simple place setting with the choices on would have helped.

I found the hotel to be in good order through out, with staff all ways able to help if needed. Bar was fine all though found price of the the beer a little on the high side. Food in the restaurant was ok if you had a problem the staff would do the best to try and sort it out. Breakfast was buffet and we found their was plenty of choices to choose from. So in all very good and worth the money.

Left this hotel after a surprise birthday trip for my husband feeling rather disappointed to be honest. Overall the hotel seemed rather run down and customer care wasn’t a priority. After arriving we for a drink in the bar and it took them over 30 mintutes to finall get my drink after we had finished our lunch and my husband had also finished his drink, they then realised they didn’t have the ingredients to make the cocktail I had ordered so was brought out something different. We then went to the spa but was never told by anyone we would need our robes and slippers from our room so had to go back and get them. Once signed in we went into the changing rooms where we then realised we were never given a locker key, so went back out and asked and was given attitude by the receptionist that we needed a locker key and we should have known this apparently. The pool was over crowded and didn’t get a sun lounger as people had left their towels on them. Children were also allowed to use the pool so didn’t make this very relaxing. Facilities were average. Booked in for a Discovery facial for both of us, being a salon owner myself I know what to expect had had many spa treatemnts before. The facial was very rushed and not much care taken at all. Certainly not worth the money. Had a three course dinner in the restaurant that evening, was very nice but not a huge variety to choose from. Bedroom was fine and bed was comfortable but was worked up at 8am with a leaf blower outside our room. Breakfast was a buffet, was nice and plenty to choose from. Overall I wouldn’t recommend or stay at this hotel again.
