Tastefully decorated, romantic hotel with...

Liked: We were married at Burnham Beeches in November 2004 and went back for (the first time) for our 20th wedding anniversary. Boy has it changed! We arrived just as they were finishing their recent refurb. The layout it pretty much the same but the decor is incredible. It's been done so tastefully and in keeping with the age of the building. It is so cosy and comfortable in every room. You find yourself gazing around at all the little touches which have clearly been thought out, the attention to detail is spot on. Well done Burnham Beeches on your refub, it is something to be very proud of!STAFF: Although you can check in using the automated system, there is someone on had to warmly greet you. The staff are very welcoming and genuinely seem to enjoy working there. They are professional, attentive and kind.ROOM: Stunning. We stayed in a Superior Georgian Room which was beautiful. Like the rest of the hotel, beautifully decorated. The bed was super comfortable and you could have heard a pin drop overnight. We didn't even hear other guests come and go in the morning. It was spotlessly clean and well equipped (I like you have your own ironing board). It was a nice size and the bathroom was stunning with a great shower.BAR AND DINING: The bar is just lovely to sit and relax in. My only niggle would be the 'faux' firelace. It screams out for a real fire, but hey ho. We didn't have breakfast (we simply don't do breakfast) but we did have dinner which was delicious. Again, the dining room is another amazing space and the service was excellent.SPA: Hmm. There is one. It is very bijou and wasn't part of the refub. Perhaps it is 'on the list'. Burnham Beeches doesn't advertise itself as a spa hotel and rightly so. It's nice to have the option of a quick swim in the little pool and spend a little time in the jacuzzi and sauna though.AMBIENCE: Overall, despite being a fairly big hotel, it felt very intimate and relaxed.
Disliked: Nothing really. Just wish there was a real fireplace in the bar, our room had had a view of the stunning grounds and the spa was updated/extended. Other than that, the hotel is flawless.
