The charming stone Stanton House Hotel is located just 15-minutes from the charming village of Uffington, in the magnificent Wiltshire countryside. We’ve been speaking to Paul Evans, the Group operations Director, to find out more about his role and this magnificent hotel.
How long have you worked at the Stanton hotel?
I Started working at Stanton House Hotel when we purchased the property in March 2020. The Covid-19 pandemic has made it very challenging however, it provided the perfect opportunity to get refurbishments underway.
What’s been the best advice given to you?
The best advice that I’ve been given is to follow your dreams and if you work hard, it’ll pay off. Another piece of advice that I follow is to treat other people how I would like to be treated.
What’s the best part of your job at Stanton Hotel?
The best part of my job at the moment is seeing the refurbishments being completed and seeing the final result. I love hearing our guest’s reactions. It’s great to see that they’re really enjoying their stay here with us at the Stanton House Hotel.
What’s your favourite dish on the menu at the moment?
I’m really spoilt for choice, there are so many delicious options on our menu. However, if I had to pick one, I’d choose the Sea Bass. This dish is served with crushed new potatoes, chorizo, vegetables and a white wine sauce.
Do you have a favourite guestroom or area?
There are two rooms that I just can’t choose between. Room 401 and room 2, each featuring beautiful four-poster beds and amazing views over the lake and gardens.
As for guest areas, I’m especially proud of our meticulous grounds and our restaurant and conservatory.
Can you tell us some of the hotel’s history?
Stanton House Hotel was purchased in 1990 and the old manor house was converted from a private dwelling into a hotel. There was a fire in 1932 which meant that the oldest part of the hotel had to be re-built.
Tell us about the recent refurbishments
In October 2021 we started a complete refurbishment costing over £2m. This has included all the bedrooms, the restaurant and the conservatory bar. It really is a stunning transformation.
