   What a fantastic experience we had. I am so bad at eating there was nothing on the table I could eat as I can’t have mayo, dressings, fish butter. The manager and staff went out of their way and made me some very tasty sandwiches which I really appreciated this gesture. Thank you so much to the staff

   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.

    Dear Georgia, Thank you for your review. We're delighted that our staff made a good impression with their friendly and helpful service. It's our aim to create a welcoming atmosphere for all our guests. We appreciate your feedback regarding the sandwiches and cakes. 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. Our scones with jam and cream are indeed a favorite, and we're glad you enjoyed them. Rest assured, we are constantly refining our offerings and will consider your valuable input as we strive to cater to diverse palates. Best regards,
