   Lovely relaxing afternoon very friendly staff who efficiently served our afternoon tea - just one thought- we had cocktails rather than champagne and it would have been preferable to have those served before our tea and coffee.

   We had been before and enjoyed the experience. However this time we were placed in a table in the lobby on the thoroufare for the toilets. If the table was second rate then the service was consistent, inattentive and slow. For £70 a head I expect better!

   Extremely expensive afternoon tea, but you probably know the price before you go so the bill shouldn’t be any surprise. What was a surprise was the 10% they stick on the advertised prices. The ambience of the hotel is amazing. The staff are fantastic, cheerful, polite and attentive without being obtrusive. A credit to the hotel. The food is gorgeous, well filled sandwiches and lovely soft bread, amazing how much nicer it is when you’re used to Tesco loaves ! The sweet selection on the cake stand is all very tasty, we couldn’t finish all of them and the staff were happy to provide a nice little box to take home what we couldn’t manage ! All in all a very good , if pricey, experience.
