   Great selection of savouries and cakes and staff were lovely. Only downside was we had to seek out someone to order drinks more than once, but once we asked we were dealt with quickly .

   Whilst the hotel is beautiful and there was a great selection of yummy savoury snacks and pretty dainty little pastries, tarts & sponges the room was absolutely freezing and this was clearly a known problem as there was small mini heaters placed throughout the restaurant. This cold drafty room unfortunately spoilt the pretty relaxing afternoon we had hoped for.

   Overall very poor experience. Staff appeared irritated by the numbers of people presenting for afternoon tea. Kept getting hearded into another room by bar staff when we wanted a drink before the tea. Staff incorrectly anticipating our requests by shouting afternoon tea in the other entrance before we even spoke. When we eventually went for our tea it was like a noisy breakfast buffet. While food was ok the experience was let down by poor execution. The room was chilly, nose level high. The service so poor with staff taking tea order and then reappearing 10 mins later with no order and introducing themselves again. Embarrassing I received this voucher as a gift and I wish the giver had saved their money.

   Dear Claire, Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback regarding the quality of our afternoon tea experience. It's great to hear that you found the food satisfactory. However, I regret that the overall execution did not meet your expectations. High volumes of guests can sometimes lead to challenges in service, and it seems that our team struggled to manage the demands of the day effectively. Your description of the ambience is noted, and I understand how that would detract from your experience. We aim to provide a serene atmosphere for our guests, especially during afternoon tea. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused during your visit. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a better experience, kind regards,

   We had a lovely afternoon tea today. All food very good . Only complaint was where we were seated. We were in a tight corner and it was a bit dull and noisy. Would definitely come back if it was possible to request a different table.

While our sandwiches are crafted to balance flavors, we understand that the fillings did not meet your expectations. Furthermore, we take on board your comments about the cream-based desserts and recognize that a more varied selection may enhance our guests' experience.

    Service was dreadful, left waiting to order tea&coffee etc. Had to go to bar. Asked, few times to clear our table. 2 very small Proseccos with voucher. Sconces cheap and dry. Jam butter. Sandwiches were lovely. Been previously and all great. This was a special occasion and we weren’t impressed
