My wife and I stayed here because we were going to the Def Leppard concert at Globe Life Field. The rooms are beautiful. Comfortable huge beds. Nice bathrooms and they provide comfy robes. The service was wonderful. Everyone was so friendly. And they provided a hot breakfast of bacon, eggs, toast, potatoes, and fruit in the morning. This location is very close to Cowboy stadium and Rangers field. They provided us with a shuttle to and from Globe Life for the concert. They have a driver named Van who is soo much fun. This location is also fairly close to Six Flags. It is not a walkable neighborhood. That is the only downside.

Beautiful, so clean, peaceful...a true place of respite!Staff were all so friendly and helpful.Cant wait to come back!

WOW! WOW! WOW! The food, the wrap around porch for outdoor seating and the ambiance of what you might describe as an antique home. The lam lollipops finished with black lava salt, the delicious burrata salad were a really nice pairing. The crab cakes and the lemon chicken over a lemon risotto with english peas is delish. Nice wine list and not overpriced. The bar is intimate and the background music is wonderful. Get here asap do not pass go! We were enjoying a croissant bread pudding in the bar and that should not be missed! We booked NYE we were so impressed.

The massage was a wonderful experience! The time you spend there is relaxing from the moment you step into the building. However I recommend that you skip any food from there. I had a salad and their was no dressing on it and the croutons that are supposed to be crunchy, was like the rest of the salad....soggy and tasteless!

A Tranquil OasisI recently had the pleasure of experiencing a truly rejuvenating massage at The Sanford House, and I must say, it was nothing short of exceptional. My masseuse, Rhonda Veal, demonstrated unparalleled skill, professionalism, and a genuine passion for her craft, which left me feeling utterly relaxed and refreshed!What truly set Rhonda apart was her genuine care and attention to detail. She checked in regularly to ensure I was comfortable and adjusted her approach accordingly. Her soothing demeanor and nurturing touch created a sense of trust and relaxation, allowing me to fully surrender to the experience.Thank you, Rhonda, for an unforgettable massage experience. I look forward to returning to The Sanford House and indulging in your exceptional treatments again soon!

Very quaint little space. The food and bread was really good. I got the beef medallion served over asparagus that was perfect and some fried potatoes. I forgot to take a picture. Would definitely recommend for a special occasion.

We were looking for a nice, quiet, place for a 3 day trip and chose the Bristol Cottage at the Sandford Inn. The cottage was large, with a king size bed, jacuzzi tub, and dining area with mini fridge. The grounds were lovely and quiet, the complimentary hot breakfast each morning was outstanding. The cottage was in a gated area with easy access. A wonderul place for a nice getaway.

Booked through Expedia for $367/ night. Sent a message to the hotel through the booking site requesting a parking spot and asking about transportation to an event 3 weeks ago and they never responded. Expedia saidI I would receive an email from the property which never happened. If a hotel is going to accept bookings through a 3rd party, they need to fully participate and respond to questions and requests.. We were charged a $35 cancellation fee. I would recommend booking somewhere with better reservation customer service.

We found The Sanford House after considering another hotel near AT&T Stadium that turned out to be a dump. What a lucky find. We loved Sanford House! It has a wonderful European feel. The entire staff was super nice, the room was great, and the breakfast was another delightful surprise. (We stuck around for the brunch and it was outstanding too.)

Every year a few weeks before Christmas my mother, sisters and I meet up at the Sanford House to have brunch and plan out our Christmas holiday. It is such a lovely place to eat. The food and drinks have always been good. The waiters have always been kind and accessible. And the atmosphere is perfect for a brunch setting. The outdoor seating area is also beautiful. They have weddings and receptions here and I would recommend couples check it out for sure!

Im incredibly thankful for the staff at The Sanford House. Nick and his team provided exceptional service and a fantastic package for my brothers wedding. Despite initially being our last choice, they exceeded all expectations and made the brides dream wedding a reality. Were truly grateful for Nick and The Sanford House staff. Thank you!

Did not stay at the hotel, but had Saturday brunch at the restaurant. The eggs benedict were excellent and the potatoes were so good I asked the waiter to find out how they were prepared (the secret is clarified butter!)The service was friendly but slow. Still - the food has me looking forward to going back.

Family members stayed at Sanford House, in a roomy, beautifully furnished cottage, that is accessed from a peaceful, lush, meandering garden. Privacy and security were top priority. My identity was confirmed, my relatives were informed, and I was accompanied by a hostess. Security codes are used on cottage doors, and the entrance gate.

Absolutely wonderful place to stay! The staff was kind and the rooms were very nice. I was there for a wedding and I saw most of the rooms because my friends all stayed there and they are all great. Would recommend to anyone, especially a wedding party. The courtyard is where my best friend was married. String lights overhead, music, and good company made for a most memorable evening.

I had lunch with my very good friend and her daughter to celebrate her daughter’s birthday. The meal was superb, the service was attentive and timely, and choice of an assortment of divine complimentary desserts was offered as a birthday treat. And of course, the Christmas decorations were elegant! Lunch at Sanford House Inn for our special occasions is now a tradition, thanks to my dear friend, and we plan to continue for years to come.

This was our second stay at this property. It is convenient to the Arlington Music Hall and that is basically why we decided to stay here. The beds are very comfortable and all of the staff were very accommodating, but sadly the breakfast this second time was a disappointment. A 5 item buffet. Potatoes were good, scrambled eggs were soupy, Pancakes tasted like made from frozen, sausage patties as well and fruit. Sort of like you would expect from a Country Inn and suites. For the price we paid I was expecting a made to order breakfast with options like what we had the first time we were here. Sorry we will not be coming back. Also, the television instructions need to be updated. They were out of date.

My experience is based off our Christmas event. And I was in awe of the beauty of The Sanford House. Our event was held outside in the courtyard and was decorated spectacularly for Christmas. The staff were all friendly and helpful.We enjoyed our visit! I have already recommended their BnB to my family coming in for Christmas.

Sanford house is just amazing! We had a staycation for our anniversary and it was our first time to stay there. The young woman at checkin was very warm and welcoming. The room spotless! Bed very comfortable and room well appointed. The robes were a perfect weight for our climate and good lighting in the bathroom.The fireplace was such a nice touch but we won’t pick this room again due to very dim lighting only by lamps, no overhead. It was shadowy when it was dark and difficult to even read.The breakfast was stellar just like every meal there! Adding to the meal was Glenna, who was so cheerful and helpful.The grounds are beautiful with nice lighting and very comfy chairs to enjoy the gardens.

Overall, this was a lovely place to meet friends for a reunion. The property is charming. The courtyard and outdoor seating area were so lovely and inviting. The staff was courteous, helpful and had wonderful attitudes. We had several meals at the restaurant and overall enjoyed the selections. The meals were overpriced for the quality, but the ambiance lent itself to me being willing to spend the money on the meals.What I really want to convey is how sad it seems to me to have such a wonderful property and allow it to be in the state of disrepair this place was. If the manager, or perhaps even the housekeeping manager were to simply walk through each room and inspect it for things that needed repair, and then actually do them, this would definitely be a top rated bed and breakfast. I know its an older building, which is a significant part of its charm - but fixing the poorly draining shower, scrubbing the mold from the grout, replacing light bulbs in the bathroom mirror - items of maintenance, would go such a long way to bringing this hotel back to the top notch establishment that it once was.My pillow case and comforter were both stained with dirt - a fact that I discovered the morning after I slept in them. Made me wonder if the sheets had been changed between the last guest and myself.I do think I will return to The Sanford House again, if given the opportunity. The price of rooms, meals, bar items should make it a top tier stay. Hopefully some love and attention to the property can help make that happen.

Review β„–26

I booked an appointment with the catering manager, Nick, and confirmed my event date (a wedding brunch five months out) when I booked to see the venue. They confirmed my appointment with me one day out, and I told them I was excited to hammer out the menu and make a deposit, loving what I saw in the brochure.I drove over an hour in traffic and rain for my appointment. I was on time, but was kept waiting 28 minutes, and the first thing out of his mouth was, Okay, I just want to confirm that your dates are flexible as the date you requested is not available. We have a 225-person event on that day. I wish he had told me that before I took time off from work to make the trip.I asked for recommendations in the area since a wedding is not a flexible date. He offered none. Im really sorry; I dont really know what to tell you.This was deeply disappointing. I get it that a 225-person event is a bigger deal than a 40-person event. But it felt like it must have been open when I booked with him a week ago, or why else would you encourage me to come? It seemed as if the bigger event must have come along at the last minute before I arrived, or why would you have confirmed my appointment 24 hours out?It honestly felt incredibly unprofessional. I didnt feel like I mattered at all. And after reading all the Google reviews about how great this place was, I was really let down.I will never try to use this place again. I hope others have a much better experience than we did.

What a great experience at The Sanford House Inn! The hosts were kind, welcoming, and accommodating during our stay in the Bristol Cottage. The cottage was decorated very nicely, clean, and had all the amenities we needed. It was nice to walk around in the courtyard and secret garden while sipping on some wine. The courtyard also looked like a very nice location to hold an event. Breakfast was a great way to start the day with ample seating, a rotating menu, and friendly service. Also, we enjoyed the location as it was only a few blocks from a brewery, coffee shops, restaurants, and other businesses. Our schedule was a bit packed so we did not get a chance to try the services at the Spa.

Update: Received smoking charges a couple of days after check out. Called to get more information because we had no clue where these charges could come from. The manager was not helpful and accused us if smoking in the room. So confused and will not stay here again. Horrible service and accused us of something we didn’t do. Was looking forward to using the facilities for a vow renewal celebration ,but will take my family and business elsewhere where we a treated with respect._________________________________________Prior to unexpected charges….Came for a weekend getaway! Nice locationand facilities. The room could have been slightly refreshed cleaned with new soap and shampoo but not that big of a deal because got more from front desk. The fresh chocolate cookies are amazing!

Stayed in the Vivaldi room, it was clean and spacious with a desk and a king size bed. There was plenty of room to move around without tripping on anything. The only draw back is that the walls are thin so the next room showering and talking in the hallway was noticed. The staff checking in and out was fantastic, the process was nice and keyless entry to both the room and the after hours access was one less thing to have to keep up with. I was travelling as a single person, therefore, parking and neighborhood become a concern after dark, neither were an issue during my visit. The location is 5 minutes to ATT Stadium, 7 minutes to Choctaw Ballpark and 9 minutes to the Convention center...all of which I visited while I was there. I also dined in the restaurant and the food was delicious. Overall...I will be checking availability for my next trip to Arlington.

I was impressed by this place from the moment I walked in the doors - literally. My husband and I reserved the Regency Cottage as we got an AMAZING deal and it was within walking distance of Arlington Stadium (we were there to see Beyonce and didnt want to deal with parking or driving back to Carrollton late at night). When you walk in there is a beautiful restaurant to the right and left of you and a lovely staircase. The person who checked us in was wonderfully pleasant and she told us they were offering a shuttle to and from the concert. She even said my brother and his girlfriend, who werent staying at the hotel, could take the shuttle as well. The shuttle wasnt free but, OMG, what an amazing benefit for staying at the hotel!The Regency Cottage was gorgeous and more than I could have imagined. As soon as my husband and I walked in I told him we had to come back for a staycation. The cottage included a living area, a separate area with a daybed, desk and kitchenette (with utensils, coffee maker and even creamer and two water bottles in the refrigerator). There were also two cookies wrapped on a small plate on the desk which you could tell were homemade. My husband ended up eating them both so I cant speak on how they tasted (little stinker). There was a separate room where the king size bed was and through another doorway was a very LARGE bathroom with a soaking tub and two robes that were hung up. It also included a separate shower.The most impressive part of the Inn was by far the courtyard. It has a fountain, a couple of pergolas with shaded seating and tons of outside seating and tables around it. It was a perfect area to sit outside after dinner and enjoy an after dinner drink or a glass of wine. We will definitely be back and will be taking advantage of the included breakfast (served from 8:30 - 9:30am), the restaurant and the relaxing courtyard in the evening. The prices are so reasonable that if you are staying in the area you dont want to miss the experience of staying at this one-of-a-kind hotel!

This place was absolutely amazing to begin with. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. I stayed for my birthday and although I’m local, this felt like a vacation. The food and drinks were 5 stars ! I had breakfast, lunch and breakfast and had no complaints. I wasn’t able to get into the spa so BOOK EARLY but overall I can’t wait to come back !

(Disclaimer:Never have stayed here but as far as I can tell they have pretty good rates.)Like I mentioned, I haven’t stayed here but I have been here for an event. This place has an amazing outdoor area with plenty of seating. They have a little bar room in the back and the staff here is very friendly. In fact, that was my favorite part. The people that work here were so nice and very attentive. They did an amazing job. The whole place looks really nice and they even have a restaurant inside. I can’t say I fully recommend until I stay here a night but based on my experience being here, I would say give it a shot! Rates seem to be fairly good as of when I’m writing this but you may want to check for yourself.I will update review when I stay here.

Update 2022: Just spent the evening in a Royal Villa. Very nice and quiet. Accomodations were comfortable. We didnt have a reservation for dinner, and our plans changed, but all the staff at Restaurant 506 were more than accommodating in getting us sat down to eat. We had a beautiful view of the courtyard and the Christmas decorations are amazing. Rooms include breakfast, which was scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast, which was delicious. Great spot!This place is great. I will start off by saying my wife and I got married here 10yrs ago, so Im biased.For brunch at the restaurant, I had special diet requests and they were more accommodating than anywhere Ive ever eaten.Service was awesome, the food was delicious, and I was shocked that the brunch prices were as cheap as they were. Excellent prices, amazing food, cool atmosphere, great table service.

We hosted a retirement dinner at the Sanford House, and had an absolutely fabulous experience! We were looking for a dedicated banquet room, and Sanford was able to provide us with a small building, in the courtyard behind the main building -- it was fantastic! The building provided the perfect ambiance for our event, as we were able to decorate to our taste, enhanced by the ambiance that Sanford naturally provides. The food and service were wonderful, as the staff were first rate. We will definitely return to Sanford House to try the restaurant and spa facilities , perhaps for a birthday or anniversary. A real treat in the center of Arlington!!

I truly wish I could write a separate review for the Sanford House/Restaurant 506 and the Spa as my experience was very different.Our stay at the house was absolutely lovely. The room was perfect and the staff were so kind and accommodating. The dinner at Restaurant 506 was pricey but worth every penny.The spa on the other hand was an entirely different experience. I had a massage and facial which were decent, but the mani/pedi was quite possibly the most unprofessional and not relaxing spa experience I’ve ever had. The nail techs audibly talked about the service I had purchased (a spa manicure and spa pedicure) and how they would not have time to complete part of it due to timing. They made it very apparent that soaking my gel nails off threw them off schedule, which was surprising to me considering it takes 10 minutes or less at my regular salon. I understand when unexpected circumstances arise, but there is a much more professional way to handle those situations then talking about it in front of a paying customer.All of that to say, we’d love to return to the Sanford House and Restaurant 506, but will definitely not be returning to the spa and recommend sourcing another local spa if that’s something you’re in the market for during your getaway.

I came here for brunch with a group of ladies and it was a very nice experience. The place was beautifully decorated from the holiday season.Upon entry, the staff was very friendly and attentive. After taking our orders they brought out a basket of mini carrot muffins and some brown sugar-whipped butter. They were warm and delicious.I ordered their special menu item for the day which was blackened salmon and eggs benedict with hollandaise sauce, spinach and potatoes.I also ordered one blueberry lemon pancake on the side. It was very good. More on the cakey side. But good.Overall, I enjoyed the food, service, and ambiance. My only recommendation is to ensure the food is hot when it comes out.My plate was warm (not hot) when it came out and I did not want to send it back because it took a while to come out.Id go back and recommend it to others.PS. Our waitress was Kayley and she was genuinely friendly and did an excellent job! Thank you!

Beautiful Villa and feel at home stay. Comfortable bed, great jacuzzi and the lay out was perfect. Not too small not too big, youll want to stay another night. We had reservations for the restaurant but they let us have dinner to go in the villa which was great as they worked with us to make it happen. The dinner was great as well as the cheese cake. We really enjoyed our quiet and private stay. Will definitely be back and highly recommend for a wknd get away from kids or a nice romantic evening to yourselves

Very nice weekend away. Everyone was very accommodating whether at the spa, inn, or dinner. Our waiter at the restaurant was a little too sarcastic for my taste, and got orders all mixed up, but the meal was delicious. The grounds are lovely and the spa/salon is right across the road and provided much needed massage. I asked/paid for deep tissue, but neither I or my fiance received a true deep tissue massage. Was still a nice experience. The room was large and clean. The chocolate chip cookies and Keurig coffee maker was perfect. We never could figure out how to get our TV to work properly. Overall we would definitely go back

A bit far from things, but nothing you cant get to with lyft, which was way cheaper here than Uber, especially if you call ahead. So very beautiful interior and exterior with classy details so very pleasing to the eye. I am sure you will love it, dont forget to fill in the guess book in the desk drawer at least there is where it was in our room the Brahams . They have a library where you can swap your finished book, so bring one , plenty of gorgeous seating areas to choose from inside or out. Breakfast is fixed menu, but very elegant. Waiters constantly filling your cups, asking if you want anything else. Its spa is across the street. They have a shower too. I recommend Derek.

Review β„–48

The overall experience could have been so much better if not for the individual quality of the services. My husband bought me a full day package which was $400 + with gratuity and only two services were top notch and they were both provided by Margo. She did an excellent job with massage and body scrub.I was happy with the chefs preparation of a vegan lunch but I was not offered dessert and watched the neighboring couple have sorbet, chocolate cake and strawberries for dessert so I assumed I would be offered fruit or at least strawberries but I was not offered anything.The pedicure room was not large enough for both technicians, so every time the other tech needed to get by , my service had to stop so the tech could get up and allow the other one to pass , including to go tinkle which she announced loudly to her last client.The other nail tech also audibly dominated the room , which was not conducive to relaxation and adjusted the room temperature to suit her because she was hot. I mentioned twice afterwards that my legs were cold because of it, but was never acknowledged.My husband had paid extra for hot rocks that were actually only warm. Serena did a nice manicure though and is super sweet.The facial was the biggest disappointment. Ive never had a tech put a mask on and tell me to find my happy place while they leave the room. For half the price, Ive either had them massage my neck, arms and or hands during masking and for $80 , very little was actually done. No extractions although I asked about it and no massage other than cleansing. My face isnt exfoliated or hydrated. Normally my face is glowing and super hydrated after a facial, so total waste of time and money on that !The environment was super nice if only the services were as good as they claim to be. My husband is so upset.

This is a wonderful facility in Arlington and near the AT&T stadium. The ground is perfect. Gorgeous landscape and during the holiday period, the decorations are superb. The location is somewhat shaky when you walk toward the stadium. We booked one of the villas and the space is huge. The furnishing is dated however. Beds are good but sofa, chairs, table etc. on the living room are quite dated. Next door people were quite noisy late in the night. Good & friendly staff. Breakfast is just OK. Typical scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes...

A lovely old home converted to hotel and elegant restaurant, with on-site facilities for receptions and parties, and a full service spa directly across the street. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, offering a feeling of privacy, even on a busy street. There is outdoor patio dining for when the weather is mild.On our visit, we indulged in Sunday brunch. My dining partner had a fresh Chicken Caesar salad, while I had the Grilled Shrimp and Gouda Grits. I was told the salad was delicious. My shrimp and grits were good, though the flavor of Gouda cheese did not come through. We split the Lemon and Blueberry Pancake, which was excellent!! Not cloyingly sweet, the pancakes were fluffy and tender, with ripe, fresh Blueberries and a perfect lemon icing drizzle. Yum!!!Also good was the Pear-Thyme bellinis, which benefited from a slice of fresh lemon we added to balance the sweetness. Ranch water cocktails were refreshing on a warm morning.Do make a reservation prior to your visit, to be certain of a table. Attire is dressy casual. If you are planning an upcoming event, The Sanford House is worthy of consideration. I know we will come again!

We had such a wonderful stay at this elegant property. It was clean and adorned with lovely art. It was like traveling back in time but with modern touches such as key code access to your room. The courtyard was a gem to enjoy in the evening and after breakfast. Our meal was delicious and paired with the picturesque dining area, made for quite an enjoyable end to our stay. The staff, from Ayionna (apologies if miss spelled) who greeted us to Darla who bid us safe travels, was lovely and hospitable. A place we will surely visit again.

My mom, sister and I were there to enjoy a quiet getaway weekend. We checked in during a wedding at the venue and parking out front was difficult. If you’re expecting a traditional drive up with a portico you’ll be disappointed. The front door and check in area are around the front of the building. That’s where the difficulties stopped. The front desk staff was welcoming and truly happy to see us! We were informed that the complimentary breakfast was at 8 am the next morning, which fit our schedule so we signed up. We stayed in The Regency room, one of the bungalows across the grand courtyard. There was private spacious parking and the room was well decorated, roomy and clean. Before dinner we enjoyed a relaxing glass of wine in our private living room complete with a warm fire. Our dinner reservations at 506 were at 8 o’clock and we made our way across the grand courtyard not needing to get in the car. The service was impeccable however our dinner entrΓ©es did not meet our high expectations. The servings were large, just not as spectacular as the ambience of the dining room. However, the service and attention to detail were spectacular.Breakfast Saturday morning was fresh omelets with fresh onions and green peppers, bacon and fruit. The omelets came out piping hot and the fresh vegetables were clearly right from the garden. The coffee was hot and delicious. Again, the service was better than expected. We truly felt like we were the only guests there.The location in Arlington made for an easy trip to Waco to visit Magnolia Market. It took 90 minutes to drive there from The Sanford House, well worth the drive.Sunday we had brunch reservations at 506. Brunch was better than dinner the night before. The Crab Cake Eggs Benedict were sensational. The staff acted as if we were invited to stay all day.Overall, our weekend was above expectations. Next time we’ll try out the spa!! We can’t wait to go back!!

The staff is very friendly and attentive without being over bearing. My friend and I sat on the patio & it was such a nice view of the garden. Definitely will be back here very soon!

This. Place. Is. AMAZING!!! On 9/14/22, Me and my aunties took my mother out for her birthday and we had an absolutely relaxing time. Were actually planning to come back next month.My mom had Maggie, and she gave the birthday girl a fabulous extended massage and exfoliating scrub. She really took care her, listened to where she needed the most attention, and went above and beyond.I had Robin, and Oh My Gawddddddd, did she some healing hands. I am a first time mother with a 10mo son who threw my back out, TWICE. She understood excatly where I needed the most relief. Her attitude was so bubbly and caring, Im still smiling just talking about Robin and its been hours since Ive seen her.The other two ladies who took care of my aunties were equally as good. When we all met up for mimosa, they raved how great their masseuses was.The price, I would say, was very reasonable for amount work these ladies.They are very accommodating, as they were able to take care of all of us at the same time. This place is great for small birthday parties, girl/guy spa day, etc.Definitely give this place a try if you love a fantastic massage and exfoliating sugar scrub

Loved the one bedroom cottage! Lots of space to spread out, comfortable bed, great jacuzzi tub and delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies waiting at checkin. Also appreciated the mini fridge waiting with cold bottled water. We enjoyed our massages at the spa - very relaxing and no one made us feel rushed. Lastly breakfast each morning was great with an extremely friendly staff member to get you anything you needed.

Absolutely amazing staff. My boyfriend and I were here for one night in the beginning of a huge snow storm. The facilities manager, Van, was so helpful and super personable. Upon check-in, he already made us feel at home. The cottage was clean and perfect for what we were looking for. Breakfast was delicious and again Van was there and made sure we were happy. When we checked out in the middle of it snowing, he reminded us he was only a call away even though we werent guests there anymore. I will definitely stay here again.

I rarely leave reviews but this place is awesome!! I recently proposed to my girlfriend and was looking for a romantic night (very last minute). We stayed in the Regency Cottage last Saturday and it was definitely worth it!! We were too last minute to get a package but we ordered in food, brought a bottle of champagne, & really enjoyed the jacuzzi!We were skeptical of the β€œfree breakfast” thinking it would something along the lines of a hotel continental breakfast. We had a full menu, with a waitress at the 509 restaurant and the breakfast potatoes were the BEST I’ve ever had! I also did not realize the upscale 509 Restaurant was open to the public and will definitely return, if not just to try dinner! Also will be enjoying the spa next time. GREAT JOB Sanford House- you’ve definitely impressed!!

Truly a hidden jewel in Arlington. The establishment is very well kept from outdoors to indoors. The patio area is a dream space for all forms of outdoor gathering, plenty of seating and the gardens are beautiful. Inside, the themed rooms are very clean and comfortable;as well as, the entire staff is both friendly and accommodating. Looking forward to going back for their signature weekend brunch and again on our 30th Anniversary!! Thanks to everyone who made our stay memorable.

Went here for Sunday brunch. The food selection was excellent. My wife had the pecan crab benedict, and I had the steak and eggs with a burratta caprese salad. Both exceeded expectations. The carrot muffins that were brought out to start were still warm and delicious. The ambiance was perfect natural light from the large windows gave it a pleasant brunch feel. Service was a tad bit slow. We could have used being checked on about twice as often as we were. Water glasses sat empty for several minutes and we had to wait until the entrΓ©es were served to request coffees and refills. But overall, that did not detract significantly from a very pleasant brunch experience. We will be back.

This is a whole different experience ! Used to staying at embassy suites and stuff like that. Sanford House Inn takes care of your needs. We were blessed when they offered to watch after our four older kids for 10 minutes and get them into the room and set up for us while we were gone , we arrived late, due to the horrible traffic , and had to rush to a concert. The kids were treated graciously. We had an issue or two arise while staying . No big deal. But they went above and beyond to make things awesome! I highly recommend this place for the hospitality and attention they give to their guests. They turned our trip into a relaxing less stressful experience. Thank you Sanford House !

My husband and I spent our anniversary there last year, it was great. We decided to go back again this year, NOT so great!. The toilet was leaking so bad we had to put our bathroom towels on the floor and even they got soaked. They charged us $75 for supposedly burned sheets. I advised we had nothing flammable in the room. No candles nothing. They sent pictures of the supposedly sheet. It didnt matter we did we didnt do it. They could have at least said since you had problems with the toilet, well just wash the fee but no. There was no consideration. I WONT BE BACK!

The Sanford House Inn & Spa was an outstanding getaway venue for us.The Verona cottage was beautifully appointed and most comfortable.Our couples massage at the Spa was terrific. The therapists were outstanding, and we were met with cool water and cheeses and crackers both before and after. Comfortable environment to relax afterward with no one rushing is out the door.Even the bar area was a well-stocked comfortable venue to relax, have some drinks and appetizers and visit both with the staff and other patrons.Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable visit!

This place is impressive. I was looking for a place that could accommodate 12 people for a 3-day girls weekend. This place was perfect. I rented two cottages, one for my sleeping room and a relationship chat and the other one next door for two guests, and in case we got too noisy. Some guests stayed in the main house, which overlooks the courtyard. Absolutely beautiful. This worked better than paying hourly for a party space and catering [food and drinks].Everyone was great to work with. Breakfast and brunch were incredible, and the ladies enjoyed their massages and foot reflexology at the spa across the street.

Review β„–75

We chose the Sanford House for our wedding, almost 18 months prior to the day. The lady that we signed with left the business about half way through and we had to transition to a new lady. As is with transition some things got lost in the translation. We were originally told that any of our guests would get a discount on a night’s stay. The new lady was not aware of this discount and I had to ask after several guests were told they would not get the discount. Even after that conversation, Mary (the front desk lady) left a bad taste in some of our guests mouth and they were told no discounts would apply. I had to call back several times and speak with the catering manager about the guests not getting a discount. Everything was straightened out but Mary continued to leave a bad impression was several of our guests, to the point where the guests mentioned something to me about it. We had 33 guests at our wedding.Other than that, food was great. Housekeeping was amazing. The wedding service was perfect. We were able to get a tent last minute and they put it up for us. Samantha was our catering manager and she was EXTREMELY patient with us, we changed our minds several time and she kept up. We had several guest comment on how well she and her staff handled themselves during the dinner.Would highly recommend to anyone. Just be sure you have everything in writing.

Review β„–76

We decided to spend our anniversary weekend at a place Ive always wanted to go, The Sanford House Inn & Spa. It is a bit expensive, but felt it was worth it. However, when we enter the room, there was an old, stale smell to it which wasnt very inviting. The room was nice, just had an odd smell. What we were really looking forward to was the made to order breakfast the next morning which I saw listed on the page before I booked.When we went to have breakfast, it was a continental breakfast with cereal, bagels and some fruit. We inquired about this at the desk and they said they had changed their format a few months earlier and were still trying to find places where it was listed as made to order. No compensation was offered. The stay seemed to be overpriced for just serving a continental breakfast. They offered to go somewhere and get us a breakfast, but that didnt seem appropriate. So we went elsewhere for breakfast.Needless to say, we were disappointed for the money we spent and the experience we didnt receive.It looks like it would be a nice wedding venue and the grounds are beautiful. It is near a Babes Chicken, Mellow Mushroom Pizza and the Arlington Music Hall.

We are regulars at TSH for brunch - we went recently for a birthday celebration and it is just the most special place ever - never tire of itselegance and hotel in time ambiance. The staff this time was BRE - shemet us promptly after being seated and took care of our group 5 impecabbly. She had it together but not intrusive which is a skill diners appreciate. The ambiance, food and our celebration was a beautiful memory for all. Many thanks to TSH and staff for such a special affordable place in the metroplex. It is truly a joy every time we visit.

The Sanford House was the perfect location for our wedding. We were blessed with beautiful weather and were able to hold our wedding in the courtyard as planned...and we could not have asked for a more incredible evening! Between the venue itself with all of the lights creating the perfect ambiance, to the amazing waitstaff and wonderful food. The Sanford House set the stage for our dream wedding and I cannot say enough good things about it (nor could our guests who were all very impressed by the venue as well). Additionally, Camille McDonald made planning the wedding completely stress free and was an absolute joy to work with. Its also a huge bonus having everything there in one place - the venue, the catering, the bar, a spa for wedding day hair and makeup, and, of course, a place for all of our out of town guests to stay on site. The perfect venue!

I had a wonderful day at the Spa. A friend gave me a gift card for one of their packages. The massage with Maggie was AMAZING! I LOVE HER! Lunch was absolutely delicious. My facial and body scrub was so relaxing and left my skin feeling SO GOOD. I enjoyed my manicure and pedicure, but that may have just been the nail technician. I wonder if she just hasnt been doing it long. I will stick to my usual nail salon, but I am definitely coming back for the other services!!!

We wanted somewhere in town to spend the night as our single night honeymoon.It. Is. Beautiful.We stayed during winter, and can only imagine how beautiful it would have been in spring or summer. Its a tiny place but its quiet and secluded and beautiful. We stayed in the Regency cottage and it was well worth the extra money. It was huge and we could definitely have stayed for weeks had we had the time and money. Breakfast was a stand out. The chef made everything to order and the coffee is to die for. Best cup of coffee Ive ever had. The staff were wonderful, the room was beautiful. Only place Ill start from now on in Fort Worth!

Review β„–86

I unfortunately did not have the seamless experience I had hoped for. I hope it is not like this for most brides. I arrived Friday to check-in as it was suggested to stay in one of the cottages to get ready in. They had double booked my room and insinuated that it was my fault even though I did not book the room at all the venue manager did. Luckily they were able to resolve the issue but it made me very stressed and put off to the venue. Luckily, Van Anderson was AMAZING! He eased so many of my anxieties and was SO SO SO helpful to myself, my MOH and my mother. If we even flinched he was asking if we needed anything or if he needed to change anything. I cannot say enough good words about Van. The ceremony/reception was beautiful and the courtyard is amazing. They have a staging room as well which was helpful for cakes and florals so they don’t sit outside all morning. Overall it was beautiful and I had no worries during the ceremony. The food was also amazing and a huge hit with guests. We did the sandwiches package and added hors d’oeuvres as well!

This place is wonderful. I think what puts it over the top is the service. This is textbook hospitality. Even when you are satisfied and think you have everything you need, they will add a little more. The small touches; the room was lit with a soft baked chocolate chip cookie waiting on the desk, real creamer in the fridge for the in room keurig, down pillows and duvet, spa robes, bottled water, spa style toiletries, I could go on. What really sold me, was the staffs determination to make sure I had breakfast and coffee to take with me as I was too busy to dine in, also remembering how I take my coffee and having it ready to go. Wish I had booked a longer stay!

I had my wedding there and decided to use one of the cottages to get ready then to stay the wedding night. The cottage is really nice and spacious but had a terrible musty/old ordor. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was included however we waited 20mins to be seated and there was only one other couple having breakfast. The front desk lady or host was nowhere to be found. We tried calling the front desk with our cellphones thinking someone might come but nope didnt happen. They werent very accommodating in the restaurant. I do not eat pork and they didnt have Turkey bacon or sausage options. I asked if I could have eggs instead and the answer was no, that was part of a different entree.I also thought it wouldve been nice to include the bridal/honeymoon suite when you use Sanford for for wedding venue. Wed already spent a few thousands in rental and food but still had to pay the $253 for each night. At least one night would have been nice.

Minutes for my taste. Wifes steak was excellent accompanying sides were ok. Everything needed salt. We had pork belly, definitely could have used more sear time.

Food was great, but communication needs improvement. When I asked about the soup of the day I was told it was cream of mushroom with bacon, so I ordered that. What I got was vegetable rigatoni soup.

Made an appointment for Valentine’s Day a week in advance for a couples massage. Was called by the the Spa 3 days later and heard that there was a double booking for my time. I now had to flip my afternoon plans of a relaxing massage to an early morning one. No big deal in my opinion because it was still going to be a great Valentine’s Day experience, right? Wrong!I was notified in the afternoon before Valentine’s Day, less than 24 hrs ahead of my scheduled massage that they are now going to be closed on Valentine’s Day due to weather. Now I have no time to book a reservation anywhere else for dinner or anything special.I was very disappointed in the process of booking my appointment and really quite angry that they waited until the last minute to cancel my appointment.Very unprofessional.Will not book again and will steer anyone I know away. Go to Spa Castle!! It’s cheaper and you don’t get the runaround.

We took a chance and went to The Sanford House for dinner Friday night January 8. We thought it would be frantic because of the upcoming Cowboys game. While it was very busy the atmosphere was fun and upbeat, the service was positive, attentive and knowledgeable. Our dinner was enhanced by the great suggested wine pairing which wonderfully accommodated all of our choices for dinner which was difficult because we had such diverse meals; lamb, lasagana, steak and salmon. All dishes were prepared exactly as requested and the presentation was beautiful.Dessert far exceeded our expectations. The bread pudding cannot be beat. All four of us were so full that we enjoyed a crisp walk around the grounds to finish off a great evening.Thank you Sanford House for a really great dinner.

I seriously think it was bigger than my first apartment. It was well decorated, clean, stocked and quiet (even being by a busy street).

I visited the Sanford House Spa for a girls day with my best friend. For Christmas, I wanted to treat her to a massage and I found Sanford House after searching for a unique spa close to her (she lives in Arlington, I live in Irving). I am so happy I found Sanford House! First off, it was incredibly easy to navigate their website and purchase a gift card for my friends service. When I booked the service, I was able to use the online booking tool and select the time/date that worked best for us. The spa was great about following up and confirming the details. The day of our services, as soon as we arrived we felt welcomed and pampered. Tyra at the front desk was so sweet and immediately created an air of relaxation. She showed us around and helped us get acquainted with the facilities. The relaxation room was a comfortable spot for us to enjoy a quiet moment before our massages. My massage was performed by Derek and all I can say is: Wow! That man was born to be a massage therapist. He spoke to me beforehand and clarified what kind of experience I was looking for, and his service was exactly what I needed. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the service room; the music and aromatherapy was great. My friends massage was performed by Margot and she was equally as impressed. We were both like noodles after our services!After our services, we went across the street to the Sanford House Restaurant and enjoyed a delicious lunch. I will definitely be back, and next time I want to book a staycation for me and my husband to really experience everything Sanford House has to offer.

We loved this place. We stayed in a cottage. It was very roomy and very quite. Its 3/4 of a mile from AT&T Stadium I was able to walk to the Cowboys game no UBER or Lyft needed. The only cons its not in a great area of town and really no restaurants or drug stores within walking distance. They are close by but it was still a bit of a drive. I will stay here again if I come to another Cowboys game.

A bit disappointed with the service that I didnt get. They booked me for the wrong week. They asked us if we could come back then. Really? Even though they tried to make things right, they only offered to give us our rock addition to our massage free, along with a drink. They are expecting us to pay for our massage in full without some kind of discount. They were clearly at fault, my first time will be my last time. Whatever happened to customer service to make a pleasurable experience, the spa customer service, in my eyes didnt take responsibility for their error. Im still livid and disappointed with how me and my sister were treated.

First off I cannot reccomend this place enough. The Sanford house is a wonderful restaurant hidden away in Arlington. I moved to this area about 1 year and a half ago and I never would havd found it if it hadnt been for a friend, and man am I glad I did. Working in the food industry for 7 years has brought me to many restaurants that boasts of being gourmet, and this is the first place that I wasnt over promising. We went during brunch on Saturday and theu werent very busy. The servers were very friendly and helpful with giving suggestions on what to order. We started with the mimosas, which were not like the normal boring mimosas you get with any other brunch. You could add flavors such as passion fruit and strawberry as well as mix them. We never went with our glasses empty since the servers were so attentive. I ended up ordering what the server suggested, the Creole biscuits and gravy. This was one of the best things I have eaten. The biscuits were light and fluffy, and the andouille sausage gracy was rich and creamy, but it didnt stop their. It was topped with a sunny side up egg and braised short rib. All the flavors and textures mixed together perfectly. I waztvery happy I chose this high class version of a breakfast classic. The only downsize was the food was so filling that I didnt have room for dessert. I guess I will have to come back again thos week. Do yourself a favor and come to this wonderful restaurant and get yourself the best meal you can get in Arlington.

Great Sunday brunch spot with gourmet menu and killer bloody marys in a classy, Victorian-style manor. Made to order eggs over shredded brisket migas were fabulous, as were the bloodies, with smoked candied bacon twizzlers and all the shrubbery. Outstanding service also. Definitely a place for special events and occasions.

Came here and was pleasantly impressed. Stayed for 3 days and 2 nights. The atmosphere was beautiful and the room we stayed and had a great ambiance. Would definitely recommend and will come back if ever in the area again.

I was not impressed with smelling mulch Friday and Saturday as we prepared for a wedding. Also the hole at the gate of the villa needs to be fixed.For the price of one night I the villa, was quite surprised to see how much they advertised Angel Soft Kleenex and toilet paper. Also the panel on the jet rub is warped and the shower curtain does not fit.For $400/night, I expected the absolute best of the best. Creme de La Creme...... far from it.

We were very displeased with the care of our wedding reservations by the Sanford House. Six months before our wedding date, we reserved the grand courtyard and two cottages (for two nights) for our special day. Six weeks before our wedding, we were told that our cottages had been double booked and that the Sanford House wouldn’t change the reservations, booked after our contract, to put them back in our name. Our wedding schedule depended upon access to the cottages so we cancelled our reservations. Thankfully, the Sanford House gave us our deposit back, but we are still very upset from the lack of care for our wedding. Now we have to find a new venue and change our plans five weeks away from our wedding date. We will never do business with the Sanford House again.

I did not stay the night here, nor order any food.I simply toured the location as a possibility for my wedding venue.My wife and I did not end up choosing this venue, but I still very much enjoyed it, here.It definitely seems like a place where we would like to stay for a night, sometime.

I almost hate to share this one. The place is tiny and I might not be able to get in if too many people try it. We hit on it by accident when a friend flew into Arlington airport and had a little time to catch a meal. So, we were there at the 5:30 opening and started at the bar. Wow, a man sized drink for sure! The we moved to the dining room which was only a few feet away. There wee three of us with big smiles as we finished our wonderfully prepared meals. We are not in Arlington often and it is 50 miles from home but I would certainly want to eat here again next time we are in town!

My sister just had her wedding at the sanford house, it does not take an idiot to realize how amazing and unique this place is. Our wedding coordinator was an absolute doll and made the bride feel like it was going to run as smooth as possible,and it did! the rehearsal was a piece of cake and she was basically there 24/7, the service in the front desk was impeccable and everyone talked to you like you were about to pay a million dollars. The dinner was fabulous and the venue outside is so beautiful you barely needed any decorations. this is by far the most beautiful place to have a wedding, look no further than here! watching my sister christina get married to her husband jim was one of the best weekends ever! Thank you everyone and all staff at the sanford house for your hard work an dedication to make everyone feel at home!!
