Having really enjoyed our stay at Thoresby Hall, Warners flagship hotel, we booked four more breaks whilst we were there. I queried the amount of discount we were given as the brochure we picked up in the hotel clearly stated on the back cover that £40pp is given to booking four breaks and above. I telephoned Warners after we returned home; as advised by the member of staff in the holiday shop within the hotel. I was asked to photocopy the back page and forward it with a covering letter, this I did five weeks ago, and have had no reply. I telephoned yesterday, a recorded message said they were too busy to take my call. I telephoned today and after a long time on hold, the person dealing with my query put me on hold, then cut me off at 4.55 p.m. I guess as the hours of business are 9 - 5, it was more important to finish work on time that to come back to me and deal with my call. Warners have really gone down in my perception of them with regards to the standard of customer service I had expected from such a reputable company, I am sorry to say.

I had to postpone my break because of the death of a close family member. Warner charged me £160 ( nearly half the cost of my break ) for the privilege. I found this rather heartless when I was distraught with grief at the loss of a loved one. I wrote to their Head Office but haven't had the courtesy of a written response. When I telephoned I was told they couldn't make exceptions - they would treat everyone who was recently bereaved in the same way. I found this approach rather shocking from a company like Warner and from similar reviews on this site it sounds as though their Terms and Conditions perhaps need an urgent review to be a little more accommodating in the case of the death of a close relative. I wasn't asking for my money back - just a little compassion and understanding at a low point in my life.

Entertainment was great,Gavin Elllis, very talented,made me laugh,Garden room well equiped but could do with a repaint. On the whole food was very good , only probs. cod and chips, cod was awfull,and breakfast sausage could do with a better quality. My main problem was getting in touch with your customer services, terrible service and very very long wait too speak to a human, you must be aware how bad this service is, has put me off coming back again.

Just returned from a short stay at Warners - Lakeside. My party had booked through a Coach Operator. On arrival we were directed to a table at the very edge of the dining/entertainment room which was segregated from the main area. Not a good start as this made as feel like second class citizens, even the table settings were inferior. Not a good start t the holiday. Despite requesting to upgrade our table to help in our enjoyment this was declined twice upon making a complaint. Being treated as a second class citizen is NOT a very nice experience. Cannot fault the food or service, however with the exception of Steve Turner, an independent musician the entertainment of stage was pretty poor. The resident team need a lot more training to be in unison with each other. One of the male team was over-hyper with other he opposite. Singers were quite good. In addition to the above quests arriving by coach were declined the 10% discount on purchases given to the independent traveller. Definitely double standards are applied. Will not be returning to Warners unless these issues have been addressed.

We had a booking at Holme Lacy for 4-7 March. However I caught covid and had to cancel 2 days prior to travelling. I only had 1 covid test in the house and disposed of it after testing positive. Rang Warners to cancel and move to another date. They said I would have to produce proof of a covid 19 test. By this time I was in bed and not able to get out to get more tests. My husband was also feeling unwell. They said there was nothing they could do and kept £500. They wouldn't move break to another date. We have used Warners many times in the last 2 years but I'll never book a Warners holiday again. Abysmal treatment of a regular customer.

Warner Hotels, Please be assured I will never stay at or have any interest in ever booking with Warner Hotels again. I will never recommend you to anyone. If you have any interest in my total disgust and distance with your un-empathetic Staff - by all means contact me. If not, one can only assume this is your standards. Being advised by your staff consultant that the only way I can get out of my booking was to " go out and catch Covid-19". I am sure in the current Covid pandemic, the press would love to hear this !

We are Pensioners and first time customers and booked two 7 days breaks at separate Warner locations. Due to a change in circumstances we wanted to cancel one of the bookings but on contacting Warner we we’re informed by Holy that we would not get any refund for the £1131 we had paid. We genuinely thought we could could cancel up to 48 hrs before arrival and get a full refund. Incorrect we where told we did not take out a insurance policy so we would lose the full £1131 cost if we cancelled. I can honestly say we did not see any reference to this when we made our booking. We can Not afford to lose this money and forewarn all potential customers of this injustice. Nobody at Warner seem to care about customer service as seen by all the 1 Star reviews and we will informing all my family and friends.

The government have cancelled nearly all covid restrictions, so why haven't Warner complied. I have spent a long weekend with 200 to 300 other individuals that have never mixed with before, 99% wear not wearing face coverings in the hotel and during entertainment. However, you are not allowed to go near the bar to order anything, all the staff are wearing useless masks (not officially recognised PPE), which when I asked at least 35 of them they said it makes their work harder, less enjoyable and less able to relate to the guests, which I agree with. Mr Thompson, review your silly rules and join the free society now.

Really hard to contact Warner, we had to cancel our weekend break as my mum was put on end of life care, we cannot have any money back as the cancellation is too near our break and they cannot transfer my money to a future reservation, what an uncaring company.

Telephone Customer Service is non existent, don’t even think of ringing them on 03301009774. I have tried telephoning them after an online problem, but left holding on for 25 minutes, eventually a lady came on the phone to say I would get a return call within 2 hours, of course no one rang me back. The exact same thing happened when I booked a weekend break last year online and needed help with something. I had to complain by email. Call received back five days later, sorry, busy, Covid etc, how do they get bookings when they don’t answer the phone? Lots of online problems as well. Go elsewhere is my advice.

Contact with head office almost impossible phone calls are either cut off with a message they are too busy or you are left in que for ever. Tried to send an email only to receive a response that details must be sent on their online form. Did this and reeived a response that I am not authorised to use their support scheme. Obviously have no interest in their customers.

We have tried and,to date, failed to get a refund for a cancellation owing to Coronavirus. I am shielding and just prior to Christmas received a message from the NHS telling me that I must maintain distancing and only mix with people who had a lateral flow test. Having previously stayed at Warners I knew that this would not be possible in the dining room so reluctantly cancelled our break. I am still waiting the curtesy of a reply to the letter I sent with a copy of the note from the NHS. They have apparently put SOME of our money into a holding account for future use which we certainly didn't sign up for.

We have recently returned from Nidd Hall after an excellent break.We found the staff helpful,efficient and friendly. The food was very good,always well presented. The room was warm and clean and very comfortable.We found members of staff willing to help even when it was an ipad question. We were so happy that we booked another 4 nights for next month Thank you Nidd Hall staff we needed this break .

Due to Covid we had to cancel our two night stay . We gave 48hrs notice and proof of Covid positive test. I have been informed that a refund will not be processed, despite the genuine reason for cancelling. I was advised I needed to give 72 hrs notice! and my money would be used to pay towards my next booking ! Given the lack of care and unreasonable response I have stated that I would never rebook with Warner Hotels again Their cancellation policy during uncertain times, and there refusal to reimburse me has resulted in me loosing £250 . We will not be rebooking, and will tell others about our, uncaring, awful, experience. By doing the right thing to protect others, I have been penalised . Warner’s experience is Zero customer support and care
