Hanbury Manor Marriott Hotel & Country Club (Ware, United Kingdom)

Marriott Hanbury Manor Hotel and Golf Club is a non-smoking property, which is great for those who don’t imbibe and like their surroundings smelling fresh, rather than like second-hand smoke.

The well-appointed and knowledgeable staff welcomes you at check in and is there for you throughout the duration of your stay. They are happy to accommodate most any request and point you in the direction of local sights, eateries and entertainments.

There’s nothing like adding a spa day to your holiday agenda, especially when you can have that spa treatment and then just head back to your room for a cat nap. With the addition of a pool, sauna, Jacuzzi and steam at your disposal, you can stay relaxed for the duration of your stay.

There’s a charge for Wi-Fi in the guest rooms which is unfortunate for those who want to stay connected via their phone and other devices. To add insult to injury, the fee for Internet service is rather high. Luckily, there’s free Wi-Fi available in the public spaces.

While some of the guest rooms at Marriott Hanbury Manor Hotel and Golf Club are in good shape, others are showing their age. Peeling wallpaper, stained and worn carpet and dated furnishings make for a less-than-pleasing aesthetic. So be sure to check out your room when checking in and if it isn’t up to snuff, ask to be moved to a more up-to-date room.

Although this hotel does allow you to bring your dog, for a non-refundable cleaning fee, there are a limited number of places for Fido to do his business. In addition, there isn’t a lot of space on the immediate property for you to exercise your dog, but the good news is that there are plenty of places surrounding the property where you and your dog can get in a proper run.
