Reviews for Lygon Arms
A lovely place for a weekend
When we entered our room I noticed a smell that wasn’t very nice as we thought it was going to get better , it didn’t so the following day I approached the reception and explained our problem .A very nice lady ask to wait in the lounge so they would go to our room and investigate We were given a drink and we waited .The lady from the reception said that they sorted the problem and we could return to our room She came with us and told us she was from Canada I am sorry I don’t remember her name and was really nice to us . The following day my husband when to settle the bill and the very same lady made a huge discount to our bill for the inconvenience I know from experience that things can go wrong but what matters is how one deals with it Thank you and we hope to come back soon Helen Repanos

Lovely Stay
Really lovely stay. The accommodation was fantastic, very comfy. Food in the restaurant came out quick, was very enjoyable (we had 3 course set menu) and our waiter was spot on. Cocktails were good - service was quick. Breakfast was lovely as well, again came out quickly. Decent coffee which was much needed. The location of the hotel is lovely, we walked to The tower which took a few hours there and back. Great stay.

Proper afternoon tea
Four of us visited here for afternoon tea at The Lygon Arms in gorgeous Broadway. Well, this was a proper afternoon tea, lovely sandwiches, little sausage roll, scones and some very yummy cakies. Couldn't eat it all so we were able to take the rest away in a nice box to enjoy later! Very reasonable price for what you get set in the lovely Lygon Arms. Staff were really nice, all so helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend, we will be back.

Room for significant improvement !
Just returned from a 2 night stay at the Lygon arms .There were 4 couples from various parts of the country meeting up for our annual pre Christmas catch up. First the positives , the location in the centre of beautiful Broadway is excellent and is right in the centre . Parking is convenient and right behind the hotel . The building is full of character and lots of fascinating history . Very welcoming in parts with roaring fires and quirky snug areas to relax. Pre arrival communication was very good as they rang 2 days prior to arrival to confirm all the bookings and names etc. BUT there are so many areas that disappointed. The check in process was slow and probably the most disorganised I have ever experienced. Despite the pre arrival confirmation the early arrivals were told there were only 3 rooms available and this was eventually resolved when the booking confirmation was shared. Also , it was clear they had no control over which rooms had been allocated with one of the couples being allocated and taken to a room already allocated to ourselves - luckily we were downstairs and not in the room as that could have been an interesting start to the weekend ! Service in the lounge area is by waiter / waitress which is fine if there were enough of them but the reality was inconsistent service with delays of c20 minutes to place an order and then further delays waiting for delivery . It was actually our experience in The Grill by James Martin restaurant that actually prompted me to write the review . When we made the table reservation several weeks earlier we had been told the only available table was at 6pm so we were surprised when we arrived to be told the restaurant was not ready and we should have a drink and wait . We were finally seated at c6.25pm and then placed our orders . Unbelievably the starters did not arrive until well after 8pm ! And even then the 2 soufflés were burnt and one dish was missing . This eventually turned up , lukewarm and just as everybody else was finishing . After another lengthy wait the main courses arrived and again one dish and 2 sides were missing and again arrived just as the rest of the table was finishing . I think the overall consensus on the food was mixed - some dishes were excellent like my Halibut while others described various dishes as lukewarm or overcooked. When the table was being cleared we made our disappointment known to the Supervisor ( I assume as she was wearing different outfit to the other staff ) and were very disappointed to get a reply of “ I’m sorry to hear that “ but nothing else . Eventually our waiter offered us free desserts which we declined as we were just so disappointed. He then came back and offered to take a bottle of wine and some food ( the burnt soufflés , late arrivals ) off the bill . We would have much rather have had a wonderful meal and paid the full bill but this gesture and some acknowledgment of the poor service we experienced was at least appreciated. I do not blame the waiter at all as clearly a lack of staff and management direction was the key issue.As a group we do not like to complain but it really was such a poor experience. The following night we ate at the Swan - excellent service and food . The final thing I would comment on is that there was a wedding party on in the hotel . When we arrived back at the hotel there was large group in the central area - very loud and having clearly enjoyed their day . I asked the waiter if we could sit in one of the smaller areas to get away from the noise and “lively “ language but were told that the area was closed for the evening . When I pointed out we just wanted a quiet area to enjoy a final nightcap , the waiter just shrugged his shoulders and said sorry and then said that the wedding party had their own room allocated but did not want to use it !! Overall , disappointed as the hotel could obviously be so much better .

Great pre-xmas family break!
Lovely festive family weekend at the Lygon Arms, great food, drinks and service from all the staff. Would highly recommend the lamb shank and the sticky toffee pudding! Special mention and a big thank you to Jill for looking after us last night.

"My wife and I just returned from England. We purchased the Lygon Arms/Connaught package from Luxury Link.
I wanted to let you know that everything was provided as promised. Our suites at both the Lygon Arms and The Connaught were truly outstanding. In fact, our suite in London was perhaps one of the finest accommodations that we have ever experienced anywhere in the world."

"We just returned from our incredible Luxury Link stay at the Lygon Arms in Broadway, U.K. We were welcomed warmly, and our request for a room change to a new wing was handled expeditiously, the dining was very good, the staff helpful and gracious. We are eager to return!"
