Whitley Hall Hotel Restaurant in Sheffield

Spent a wet Sunday here for a wedding. Food was excellent and the staff exemplary. Great location, tucked away in a small north Sheffield valley. Bit of a gem. Loads of parking. Bar prices the only negative, but then that is pretty much the case in most hotels.

Nice hotel, had a great time and had a lot of good food and drink. Could not fault the service.

Beautiful hotel. We attended for my sister's wedding and the entire day was perfect. The staff make the whole experience perfect, and they are so accommodating, welcoming and friendly. The rooms are beautiful and spacious, and the Peacock Room is a gorgeous bridal suite, with four poster bed and jacuzzi bath.

I would have liked to have given 5 stars but purely on the fact that drinks are so expensive here I have knocked one off. On a more positive note, this hotel is a gorgeous period building with lots of old and quirky features that you would expect from an old building. Located in the hills on the outskirts of Sheffield. We attended a wedding here and stayed overnight, so I can't comment on the surrounding area. Staff are friendly and welcoming. The rooms are tastefully decorated and supplied with everything you'd need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The food we were served was exceptional, professionally presented with lots of flavour. I would recommend a stay here, even with my opening comments. Unfortunately, this appears to be the norm nowadays wherever you stay.

Very nice hotel, romantically located. Breakfast was delicious and the staff was very friendly. The negative point was the shower, which only had a trickle coming out of it, so you could hardly take a shower.

Went here for a wedding, didn't see the rooms so can't comment on these. Food is divine and the location is lovely. I wouldn't recommend it for a winter wedding as when they are rearranging the room the wedding & reception is in - you're forced to go outside in the freezing winter weather until they're done. That's the reason for my lower score. Need to think about providing a lounge area for situations like this

Gorgeous hotel, shame the restaurant was shut but thr breakfast was fab

It was a funeral. The food was very good.

All good service.Staff most helpful.

Festive Lunch was really good, and the food waiting staff were really attentive

Piękne miejsce i pyszne jedzenie. Pokoje w hotelu zadbane. Miła obsługa. Jedyny minus tego miejsca to przy śniadaniu brudne i niedomyte szklanki i naczynia...

Visited for a friend's wedding reception. Lovely building and area. Drinks expensive.

Been to a few parties there and lovely place and good service and food

Wreath making was brilliant, food was gorgeous

This hotel has everything you need from staging a wedding to a few nights away. The staff are hard working and very friendly, the food is also excellent.

Staff could not have done more for us

Staff can not do enough for you, excellent service, great hotel, and food was brilliant,

Attended a wedding which was lovely, food, location, staff and rooms were super.

The staff are excellent and extremely helpful, just having attended an all day wedding function, I was really impressed by the friendly manner of every member of staff, nothing was to much trouble, lovely venue and easy to find location

Stayed for a friend's wedding and it was beautiful

Whitley Hall is a wonderful hotel in a great location. It is however very pricey in respect of its meal & drinks charges which I think needs looking at.

It is a beautiful place which I have known all my life. However, the food was over priced for what it was.

I don't normally write reviews but the staff, the food, the place....we had a wonderful afternoon with beautiful food and excellent service. If there was six stars I would post that. Well done Whitley Hall, nice to see excellent service and wonderful food still exists in this day and age!

Attended a wedding reception excellent venue couldn't find fault 👌

Staff could be a little more friendly, especially given that it was a wedding. Need to review DJ services, music cutting out during bride and groom's first dance not great.

I have just returned from Whitley Hall having had a three course lunch with a friend. The food and service were both excellent served in beautiful surroundings. Being dairy free, it was very good to see options available on the menu especially a Devils Chocolate Dessert with Vegan ice cream - delicious!

Attended a wedding here and the day was perfect from start to finish A beautiful wedding venue and our bed room was very comfortable. The buffet breakfast was great and plenty of choice. All staff very friendly

A quaint wedding establishment.

I really wish I could say that my wedding at Whitley Hall was the happiest day of my life but sadly it wasn’t.. We booked 1 year in advance and don’t feel like we were supported at all with what we needed to plan or how things would work. I had to arrange chats at the hotel otherwise we would have never heard anything until a few weeks before the wedding when we were told we could book the final details meeting. On the day, we had a wedding coordinator who I saw before the wedding, just after we married, when it was time for the meal, and when she said she’d be leaving for the evening at 8pm. I thought she would be around if I needed anything but when I looked to try ask her questions she was no where to be found. I had to go to the reception staff who were lovely but shouldn’t have had to do anything for me. We asked the DJ to start earlier weeks before and was told that was fine - on the night he came at the normal time. He also asked our guests how much rooms were, and when told, said it was overpriced! There was also no sweet cart which I had asked for at the final details meeting. There was no one to ask about this apart from some kitchen staff who said they would find out but didn’t come back to us. The next morning the wedding team tried to say it wasn’t included in our package but when I pushed, they apologised and said they would refund it with the bond which they have, but I wouldn’t have asked for it if I didn’t want it on the night. The venue is wonderful, and I had a nice day, but seeing as though it was my wedding I shouldn’t have had to be so stressed on the day. I never make a fuss, but I am just so disappointed with the wedding team. The hotel staff were absolutely amazing, especially Karen who was on reception at the time. I would stay at the hotel again, but would never recommend anyone to get married there.

Stayed at the Whitley Hall Hotel for our friends wedding recently. Lovely historical place with peaceful and well layout entertainment areas outside. The wedding was outdoors in the Pagoda, which was a great setting as it was a sunny day. Surrounding lawns and outdoor heated areas enabled late evening seating and relaxing with a few bars available. (Pricing of drinks a little high but expected at these events and places). Room was spacious and lovely. Would come back again for a relaxing stay and recommend as a wedding venue as Peacock room was lovely for the bride and groom.

Went to a friends wedding beautiful

Got married here in 2022. Beautiful place and long lasting memories! Food is lovely and the rooms are great. The service is impeccable. I cannot fault them.

Lovely place all the staff smiled and the manners were impeccable.

Whitley Hall never fails to deliver excellent food and customer service . Stayed in the newly renovated Queem Mary Suite which was beautiful

Very out dated rooms. Over priced but very nice scenery.

Went to a wedding here last week, brilliant place staff were very friendly

We just had our wedding at whitley hall and it was amazing the organisation from our master of ceremony Amanda was amazing the food was incredible and the experience from start to finish was amazing thankyou

We visited for Sunday evening meal the selection was limited but very nice, staff are very helpfull and a great experience.

We have just been to Whitley for my Aunt and Uncles wedding. Nearly 2 years after my partner and I got married. It was so nice to be back. Such a beautiful building in a beautiful location. The staff are all lovely and friendly, the receptionist even recognised us from our own wedding which was nice. Rooms were great, comfy beds and clean. Breakfast was delicious. I cant actually find a bad thing to say, would highly recommend to anyone looking for their wedding venue.

THE FIRST ROOM WE WERE GIVEN SMELLED AWFUL AND WE WERE GIVEN ANOTHER ROOM WHICH WAS FINE. THE BAR DRINKS WERE EXPENSIVE AT NIGHT , BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU ASK FOR A LARGE WINE WHICH I BELIVE SHOULD BE 250ml, MAKE SURE IF YOU ASK FOR A LARGE WINE THAT YOU GET A LARGE WINE OF THE CORRECT MEASURE NOT 175ml WHICH I WAS LEAD TO BELIVE THEY LIKE TO CALL MEDIUM LARGE. OTHER THAN THAT, THE WEDDING WENT WELL AND THE FOOD WAS EXCELLENT ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC, THE BREAKFAST WAS GREAT AND PLENTYFUL, THE STAFF ARE FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL AND NOTHING WAS TOO MUCH TROUBLE FOR THEM, THEY WERE GREAT. I WOULD GO THERE AGAIN AS THE PLACE IS A NICE SPOT..

This was our first time visiting for a family members wedding. It was such a gorgeous place inside and out . The staff were friendly and kind. The whole experience was lovely. We will definitely try and get back at some point for a stop over in the hotel

Had the most amazing stay here for my sisters wedding Joe was her wedding planner and he is absolutely fantastic a little expensive but hey you only get married once I hope haha the staff are super friendly and Whiteley Hall is absolutely beautiful 😍 even had a peacock trying my bedroom window out haha thank you so much would highly recommend this place keep it up xxx

Excellent wedding venue. Food very good. Staff helpful.

Great place to hold a wedding or even 2 simultaneously.

Was at a wedding, staff seemed overwhelmed and food was nice but not fantastic when brought out. Reasonable prices on beer, overall not bad place but I won’t be visiting again.

I visited here recently as I'm shooting a wedding here. So my perspective is more from it being a wedding shoot location than that of an overnight guest. It's a stunning location. The house and gardens have tonnes of character. Everything is close by and it's easier to get around for guests. You don't have far to walk to get you're wedding photos done in beautiful surroundings. The staircase up to the rooms is lovely. Lots of old wood around. It's very dimly lit inside, but that adds to the character. I have to say nothing was too much for the staff there. They were very welcoming and friendly. There is a great location over a small lake at the back for shots with a water fountain in the background. If you're considering what venue you want to host your wedding, from an aesthetica point of view, it's beautiful. I've shot at quite a lot of different venues across the North of England and this has to be one of the loveliest. Good luck with planning your wedding. All the best.

Wonderful day for a family wedding renewal. Staff were great, room was lovely and well equipped. Only issues, bar quite expensive and reception intermittently locked the door from our function room. We had to walk outside in the rain to get from the function room to our bedroom.

Can't say anything about the service or rooms as I was there delivering the groom for his wedding. Later met the couple who are a fantastic match. Can talk about the location and beauty of the place, just amazing, fabulous and quintessentially romantic. Loved the place which is down a nice long track away from everything.

Absoloutely beautiful hotel. Went for my 10-year wedding anniversary and was not disappointed! Rooms are beautiful and spacious, the grounds are well kept, and so pretty with Peacocks wandering around. We had prosecco and a sharing board on arrival and breakfast included in our stay, which was lovely with so much option. Will definitely visit again.

Lovely location and very well catered for.

Food was good, service unorganised and unprofessional.

Got allocated a room just next to the fire door after the lift for the corridor. All it did was slam all night and wake us. Bathroom looked great but shower was useless and needed descaling and leaks stopping. Sink built for children. Mattress soft and overused. Otherwise great and honestly there were positive points like the bedding and kettle!!! Typically *** but due to cost at already overpriced northern venue **

We were here to experience the most amazing Hindu wedding, it was beautiful and the hotel and surroundings were so beautiful aswell. Really nice food and staff.

Great venue for a fantastic wedding. A1+ service and surroundings. Food and rooms first class

Went for an afternoon tea and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Cannot fault this Hotel, absolutely beautiful building and setting.

Went to a wedding reception at Whitley Hall. Was complete blown away by the price of drinks 😣. Nearly £6 for a pint of Tetley, absolutely ridiculous. We were at a wedding at the Smiths hotel in Gretna Green 4 weeks ago and there drinks were cheaper than Whitley Hall. I get that you pay more in a hotel but come on, this is blatantly ripping people off 😡

Have not stayed here, just attended a post funeral wake. Food was lovely and well presented. Staff are attentive and helpful. The location is beautiful, set in amongst trees and quite peaceful.

They need to get a grip on bar priced extortionate

Beautiful place first class food , perfect setting for weddings.

Attended our nephew and his bride to be's wedding there. Beautiful venue, the rooms were immaculate. Bed really comfortable.

A fantastic 3 days at the hotel Well done to all

Service was good. Small wait for check in no staff to be seen although a weeding was underway. Rooms okay, although felt outdated even with the rustic styling. floors creaky and lots of noise coming through our room from upstairs.

Attended our nephew's wedding, such a lovely venue.

Take a bank loan out for the drinks

We had our Wedding last Sunday at Whitley Hall Hotel on May 14th. Everything was absolutely perfect ! The day could not have been any better, the staff were absolutely amazing, nothing was too much trouble, especially Amanda who's attention to detail, support & Caring through out the day went over & above anything we could have hoped for ! The food was excellent & all the dietary needs & children were well catered for . The Hotel is absolutely Beautiful, the rooms & grounds outstanding (not forgetting the peacocks) This Venue is perfection ! And is highly recommended for everyone! Also the registrar Shaun made our Ceremony extra special , with his humour & keeping us calm 😀 Thank you so much to you all, sending our very best wishes to an amazing accomplished team 😀 Julie & Nigel

Lovely lunch served by helpful and pleasant staff

Went for a family wedding, hotel really pleasant. Staff polite and friendly. They did the happy couple proud

Booked restaurant 1584 at Whitley Hall to hold a 70th birthday meal for my Mum. Didn’t know what to expect, having been to Whitley in the past a few times with mixed results. Have to say, everything was absolutely perfect, the meals (Sunday Lunches) were lovely, and very good quality, and all the starters and desserts were equally good. But more than that, the service was exemplary; friendly, courteous, professional, warm and welcoming, but also prompt without any long delays or mistaken food orders, equally we were not rushed at any point, even when our party were the only ones left in the restaurant. Amanda in particular deserves special mention as she couldn’t do enough for us, but all the staff made every effort to make my Mum’s day as special as it could be. Communication before the day over email was also responsive and helpful, answering my questions without problem. The setting is of course beautiful, which helps, and we felt the cost was more than reasonable for what we had. Will definitely be returning.

Stayed here for a friend's wedding. Lovely venue but we found the bed a little too soft for our liking

We've been patrons of Whitley Hall for many years and have always found the staff and food to be excellent. Unfortunately today (5th April 2023) as part of a family birthday treat the food was below the standard we've come to expect. The soup starter (Mushroom & Thyme) could only be described as pureed baby food. The two fish pie mains were disappointing and presented poorly on the plate. The accompaniments - garlic butter and roasted carrots - were also poor, especially the garlic butter which appeared to be a large quantity of ordinary butter in a ramekin. The Cumberland Sausage main looked unappetising and lacked flavour. The only main out of 4 that seemed to work was the chicken stroganoff. When asked by the waitress how were the meals we told her it was not up to the usual standard. When asked if the chef was new she answered yes, yet later on the receptionist said that wasn't the case. Clearly something has changed? We seldom give food reviews but on this occasion we felt the need to because of our prior experience. We felt embarrassed for the other couple with us as this was their first visit. The staff were accommodating as usual and when paying the bill the receptionist endeavoured to do her best with our complaints, however the non-appearance of the manager was noticeable. The reduction off the bill was appreciated although it didn't compensate for spoiling the occasion. It's a shame that Whitley Hall won't be at the top of our "places to eat" list for the foreseeable future.

Fantastic meal beautiful place to visit

Wonderful food and great atmosphere and the team are pleasant and attentive

Great wedding venue with great food

Excellent meal and evening with friends. The service and food was all outstanding (the pictures of the food speak for themselves). The evening starts by relaxing in the lounge with a drink which had a very welcoming fire then you’re lead to your table when starters are ready. This gives the evening a very premium and relaxing feeling. I look forward to returning!

Came for a wedding most expensive place iv ever been for drinks £15 for a double whiskey and £7 for beer buffet food wasn't great either dry bland and not much of a choice

Stunning location for a wedding, particularly the courtyard at the rear fantastically lit up with string lighting. Has had additions over the centuries but the oldest part is incredible. The bar area I think is the oldest, at least by looks. Was very impressed overall.

Wow, what a place. Great wedding place

Lovely restaurant with a nice lounge to wait in with a glass of wine after ordering then a lovely meal and beautiful service.

Evening meal was lovely and it was nice to try a few different things. Breakfast was well cooked and plentiful. All staff were friendly, welcoming and professional - thankyou

£6.50 a pint!! What a rip off! I attended a friends wedding recently and was shocked by the cost of a drink. Sorry Whitely Hall hotel, with prices like that I won’t be recommending you.

Drive up to hotel a little scary. We had a family wedding there food was lovely. Rooms were clean

The perfect place for a short break,the food was good especially the breakfast. .

I cannot comment on the rooms as I did not see them, however, the building is lovely and feels authentic. The service was so welcoming and attentive. The road to access the hotel is fairly tight if someone is coming the other way, however, the location is stunning which makes it worthwhile.

Beautiful hotel, staff was welcoming.

Very professional staff and wonderful wedding venue 🥰

Cannot fault the staff and the friendliness of the welcome and service. Room was a tad tired but not an issue overall. Food was delicious if not a bit pricey and a pint of San Miguel at £6.50 is steep for the location. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order. All that said the hotel serviced my needs during my visit to our DC in Sheffield.

We went for lunch only. The menu was excellent, the food and service also. Absolute pleasure to go.

Had a fabulous Christmas Room fabulous Staff fabulous Food fabulous

We stayed over Christmas. The food, staff, rooms, roaring fires, lights made it a totally wonderful experience. Thanks to all concerned.

Super food, lovely staff and great settling and so festive

One of the best places to stay if you want something quiet. The building is amazing, cozy. And the food is outstanding.

Came here for my mother's wedding, the staff were absolutely lovely, the place was gorgeous, the food was amazing! Big thank you to the member of staff that went into the river to save my daughters favourite toy that was accidentally dropped in, couldn't thank you enough you really went above and beyond I wish I remembered your name!

Our stay included a bottle of prosecco and six mini desserts (far too much for us to eat) an evening meal, overnight stay, plus a wonderful breakfast. All for £175, I've no idea how they do it for the price! Although the wine and drinks are very expensive, but we couldn't really complain when the package was so reasonable. We absolutely love this hotel , we'll be visiting it again soon.

We absolutely loved the grounds and aesthetics of the Hotel, the decor was lovely. A boutique type hotel rather than a generic hotel which made it feel really cosy. The garden at the back was very pretty, too. The food we ordered to our room was fantastic, delicious and the staff followed the new social distancing guidelines where possible. We would love to stay again, and we will as we have friends who are living locally. Thank you @spiffingtravels The only down falls were:- The wifi was a little weak for us as we were working and taking conference calls from the room, and we had a very awkward moment with the waitress at breakfast. We were booked in but we arrived 6 minutes after our time slow (last customers of the morning) and she said the chef was restricting the breakfast service. We would've liked a service with a smile, same at our welcome check-in. Lastly, the only thing we would comment on would be the breakfast prices at £15 per person. Definitely not worth the money for the quality. Instagram @kirbystaltari

Loved it, went out for a birthday meal with my friend food was great atmosphere wonderful. I even got a surprise cake. It is very olde worlde. Will definitely be going back real soon

Oh dear. I have a long term love affair with Whitley hall, but their Xmas evening meal was a carcrash. Smoked salmon starter very crudely constructed, with incongruous pink mini meringues. Turkey tasteless, accompanied by a cube of rubbery stuffing and a third of a chipolata. Xmas pud okay, but accompanied by a dessertspoonful of ice cream already melted in a sea of warm sauce. And a medium glass of wine at £10.35

Such a really beautiful place Me and my wife are here for our 44th wedding anniversary

The Christmas dinner was lovely. The atmosphere was great, not a big event but enough live music to ensure everyone had a good time. Just a tad disappointed that there was no coffee and mince pies to finish off the meal.
