                        Beautiful Surroundings which I think puts the price up as the afternoon tea was average and service was slow had to ask a couple of times for tea and coffee and a very hefty service charge for very little service although the staff are very friendly and a service charge is also applied at the bar even though you go to the bar yourself and had quite a wait to be served as it was a Birthday treat for a friend I wanted something a bit special the hotel is beautiful but I’ve had better afternoon teas for a lot less but like I said you pay for the surroundings glad I went but wouldn’t rush back

                        Finger sandwiches were stale as though they’d been left out for a while, no clean cutlery or plates for scones and cakes after having pork and chorizo sausage roll. Once we managed to attract someone’s attention we asked for clean plates and cutlery they brought 1 when there were 3 of us. Staff were polite but it was difficult to get their attention. My daughter had been there before, and enjoyed it which was why we had booked but won’t be going again. I feel it wasn’t worth the money (for reference we paid £197 for three of us with a glass of Prosecco - not champagne each, including service charge)

                        From the time we arrived, the reception was very warm and helpful. Anna, was very courteous and helpful explaining the history of the hotel making our afternoon tea interesting as well as delicious. Scones kept warm with refills of tea. Beautiful hotel, designed with high specification and sensitivity to the original character. Xxx
