We've had many breaks at Warners, most have been fabulous but we won't be going back. The last two or three breaks (pre-Covid) were not enjoyable.
At every location they have built more and more annexes for bedrooms. This means less gardens to enjoy because of course every bedroom needs a car parking space as well as the land for the annexes; more people in the restaurant means tables are smaller and packed too close together; more people queuing at the buffet makes for a long, unpleasant wait; long queues at bar and long waits for table service; activities get fully booked quickly so a lot of people miss out; too many people at the activities so you only get a limited turn if you are able to book; more people in the cabaret makes for a very cramped, overheated claustrophobic experience.
The food quality has declined, it is obvious far more food is bought in pre-prepared. For example, the lunch menu had prawn and avocado sandwich. I asked for a prawn sandwich without the avocado - couldn't be done, it comes ready mixed.
Apart from Studley Hotel if you go Monday - Friday the hotel guests are mostly 60+, so be prepared for lots of mobility scooters in the corridors especially outside the restaurant. Weekend breaks cater for a 'younger' crowd - 40+ with a few hen parties of mixed ages.
Studley Hotel is firmly aimed at the younger market, 30+.
Food is average, mostly, sometimes very good. The swimming pools are very good, some of the gyms are okay. The beds are good quality and comfortable, the rooms are nice.
