Staff were welcoming, friendly and polite. Triple room was spacious and clean. Some necessary refurbishments under way to upgrade. Water pressure was low but we were upgraded to twin double deluxe room. Nothing too much trouble. Good quality breakfast and sports bar dinner. Spa area clean and plenty of seating. Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and large pool.

Amazing weekends outside London

Stoke by Nayland Resort is a wonderful retreat in the heart of Constable Country. The setting is stunning, the rooms are comfortable, and the spa and dining are top-class. What really made our stay special, though, was the staff. A special thanks to Giuseppe, one of the Walters, whose warm and attentive service made us feel truly welcome. Highly recommended—we can’t wait to return!

Average with potential

It was an ok stay but niggled with small issues. The gym was being rebuilt, the sauna disnt work properly and the pool had a bizarre lane rule for periods of swimming that limited the capacity of the pool to about 5 people. The decoration in parts is dated. I would add i dont play golf so if course is fantastic that may make up for other issues.
