Others, however, had less pleasant experiences. Some found themselves charged for breakfast unexpectedly or encountered stale pastries. The fruit seemed to receive mixed reviews and some had to wait to be seated or receive a menu from the waitstaff. There were some who were pleased with the continental breakfast, while others were unaware of what the menu offered. Average or lovely were common descriptions of guests' breakfast experiences.

Dinner
The dinner experience at Cowley Manor Experimental seems to be mixed, as indicated by guest reviews. While the food in the restaurant is fantastic, some guests have mentioned that the service can be slow with wait times of up to 15-20 minutes for a waiter. Furthermore, some guests have commented that the waiting staff seemed confused. The hotel's wine list is notable with knowledgeable staff making good recommendations for wine and food pairings. However, not all meals at the restaurant lived up to the high standards of the hotel. Breakfast and afternoon tea quality left much to be desired. Overall, while some areas could be improved, guests enjoyed the food and service at the restaurant with some even having five meals throughout their stay.

Rooms
Cowley Manor Experimental boasts spacious and comfortable rooms that are nicely decorated and offer great views of the beautiful surroundings. The fun and funky traditional mix creates a cosy atmosphere for a lovely stay. However, some guests reported issues with the lighting, very squeaky floorboards and noise from reception that could be disturbing. Some rooms look tired and could do with a paint refresh, but the decor in the bedrooms is still pleasing. Though some guests found the rooms basic, they still offer good-sized accommodation. The stable block room was overpriced and only offered a tiny window.

Staff
Cowley Manor Experimental has received mixed reviews regarding their staff with some guests praising their great service, helpfulness and knowledgeable staff. On the other hand, other guests have noticed inconsistent service and some staff members being slightly rude. Some guests felt that the receptionist could have been more welcoming upon arrival. However, the majority of guests have praised the staff for being friendly and professional, providing excellent customer service throughout the hotel. The hotel app was an added bonus that allowed guests to communicate with staff quickly and efficiently. Despite the mixed reviews, many guests have mentioned that the staff made their stay truly enjoyable. Overall, Cowley Manor Experimental has a staff that is either excellent or poor with some areas being disorganised and inconsistent, but many guests have found them to be friendly and helpful.

Spa
Cowley Manor Experimental's spa has received mixed reviews from guests. While some describe the spa as 'gorgeous' and 'amazing', others feel that the standards of the facilities are not up to par. One guest reported that there was no hot water in the spa showers and no shampoo or conditioner provided. Additionally, the spa food is criticized for being unhealthy. However, the treatments are described as excellent with Lauren in particular providing an exceptional massage.

Some guests note that the pool area can become quite busy, resulting in difficulty finding a spot to sit. Dressing rooms are described as tired and in need of updating. Despite this, the spa is said to have a strong relaxation feel.

There are restrictions on children visiting the spa at certain times and guests note that the spa is open to visitors from outside of the hotel. Finally, some have commented that the lack of provided flip flops can be inconvenient and unsafe as it requires walking barefoot around the pool areas and changing rooms.
