   Had the festive afternoon tea, I wouldn't bother again. The quality of the tea was OK, the bread was fresh at least. But the turkey and stuffing finger sandwiches were poor. Service was very efficient. Very dirty menu wasn't a good start. Served in a dining room with very little atmosphere due to a wedding being on in the area where its normally served. Beautiful hotel but at £99 for 2 including a 10% service charge it was very overpriced

   Having been before and had a lovely time this visit was left wanting. Upon arrival i had to approach a member of staff as the two that were on reception didn’t seem interested in greeting us or enquiring as to the purpose of our visit. When our food arrived there were only 2 small fingers sandwiches and one of the varieties mentioned by the waitress wasn’t even there or available after we enquired as to the volume of food . The cakes were very tasty. Whilst we were by no means expecting a royal banquet this wasn’t very good for £45. On a positive note, the manor/village is beautiful

   We had the festive Afternoon Tea with mulled wine. It was delicious. The setting was lovely and comfortable next to the Christmas tree with the open fire roaring. The staff were lovely and very attentive.

   An excellent afternoon tea for my wife and I as part of an early Christmas celebration. The staff were friendly and service was excellent. The afternoon was delicious, we have sampled many teas around the UK and the world and this one was right up there with the best. Will be returning in the future.

   Great location, brilliant service and stunning festive tea, all great, especially the mulled wine. The house is so historic but has very eclectic picture memorabilia.. superb .. definitely recommend

   For my dad’s 60th birthday which I told them twice - they did nothing for it. We were left alone for 2 hours (no one came to ask if we wanted more tea). The scones + cakes were lovely but sandwiches were awful - one of them was plain sliced onion between bread (they said with hummus but I can promise there was none)!!

    We had a lovely afternoon tea. We chose the Autumn Afternoon Tea which included an aperol spritz which was lovely and refreshing with the afternoon tea. I had thought that something autumnal themed may have been served, such as a cake in the shape of a pumpkin or similar, but it was the standard afternoon tea with the spritz as the only difference, but that said it was delicious. The service was excellent, attentive without being overbearing and friendly, so worth the automatic service charge that is added. It was quiet when we arrived but another group of people arrived and were seated away from us but as they were friendly so it made for a lovely atmosphere. I’d certainly recommend it.
