Lovely room but not easy to find arriving after dark and an absolute faff having to check in at one building to then drive to another building to find room and then have to do again in the morning

It’s ok.

It was very difficult to find the lodge. For some reason it’s not labelled as Melbourne Lodge. If they’d have told me it is the old stables then I’d have probably found it easier. It’s also concerning how fast people were driving around in their golf carts. One guy was going so fast that he actually skidded on the driveway when he tried to turn the corner. I was walking my dog at the time so it’s very disconcerting. The bed was very comfortable. It was hard in the room though because they left the curtains open and all the heat from the sun came into the room. Fortunately, they did provide a fan. The hand tail had an undesirable hair on it, so that was a bit gross. The whole place is basically a golf course so I get the impression that their golf course is more important to them than the lodgings. The grounds are beautiful, but it’s a bit confusing as to wear you’re allowed to take your dog and what is the golf course and what is an actual footpath.

Melbourne Lodge was fantastic, we stayed for one night and couldn’t fault it in any way. The grounds are beautiful, the room was lovely and the service was outstanding. Will definitely come back next time we’re in Hatfield!

8/10 Very good

2 night stay, there was no restaurant facilities available after 17.30 on the first night so had to dine early. Second night dined at the local pub. Only 1 teabag each night! Rooms quiet which would be expected in the middle of a golf course in winter. Nothing to do on the complex probably due to the time of year.

Had a one night stay here on a business trip, in a lovely rural setting on a golf course, everything was good, staff, service, food, room comfort. a little expensive but very nice.

Furnishing a little dated but comfortable and luxurious rooms. The grounds are superb. Golf course is excellent. Restaurant on site. Staff helpful. Convenient location.

Expected a more luxurious room. TV screen mini size. More milk for the tea could only make 2 cups. Not value for money
Siven, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The bedroom was large, clean and comfortable. The lodge is a separate building from the clubhouse where tasty breakfast and evening meal were served. Thankfully, the weather was kind and the walk between both buildings pleasant. The staff were particularly friendly and welcoming.

8/10 Very good

Beautiful grounds. Room decor was tired with stained headboard. Lovely breakfast, although service was slow.
Yvonne, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

100% id stay again.

Absolutely lovely place to stay, the only let down was that although i booked a double bed room the bed wasn't a full size double and the quilt wasn't large enough to cover me completely, the saving grace was the additional banket on the bed. I will stay again but will ensure i communicate with them prior to my stay to ensure they accommodate my 6,4" needs. another positive was the fact i could shower without having to Squat under the shower head. which is often a problem in some of the larger chain hotels.
Graham, 1-night trip

Exceeded Expectations

The Melbourne Lodge delivers 1st Class Service in an Old World setting. A Golfers paradise which neither of us were but still relaxing and great service in an idyllic, off the beaten track Manor House. I thought the value was incredible for the luxurious room and botanical wonderland and would come back even though I’d have to fly across the pond to get here.

Onder de maar

Geen warm water, lauw op zijn best. Geen verwarming. Gedoe met inchecken en uitchecken. Geen plek voor koffer, geen foldable koffertafel

It should be 5 stars but just isn’t (yet)..

This place is set in the most beautiful surroundings and the staff are wonderful, it was really clean and comfortable. The place has so much potential however am not sure I would go back at the moment. Our room decor really felt tired with a few things missing and certainly wouldn’t put it into the ‘luxury’ category, however the price bracket certainly is!

Lovely property and very beautiful. Amenities are a bit old and need to be updated. Service is very good and very pleasant and helpful staff. Plumbing and electrical seems to have issues.
