"I 've been wanting to have afternoon tea at this lovely-looking manor for years. Finally achieved my goal and went one better by staying overnight. This manor was mentioned in the Domesday Book 1086 AD and was renovated in 1620. It 's been owned by the same family for centuries as they live abroad now, day to day running of the business is done by a local family. The building and grounds are steeped in history and very impressive. We stayed in a kingsize Deluxe room overlooking the front garden. Our room had a huge bed and a very spacious bathroom. It was very clean and nicely decorated. Tea coffee facilities are enhanced by the provision of fresh milk in a flask at least twice daily or on demand. Also, 2 very tasty home-made cookies were supplied. Our part of the manor was accessed by stairs from Reception but there was a stairlift on the opposite staircase for any who need this. Many people come here for the food alone and I can see why. The afternoon tea was extemely generous £25 a head with tea coffee. You choose which room to eat in. There were finger sandwiches egg mayo ham mustard. Smoked salmon cucumber or cream cheese cucumber croissants amazing little homity pies. The large scones were served warm and had very pleasant crunchy crusts. Plenty of jam clotted cream were supplied. Then beautiful passion fruit meringue tarts; pistachio raspberry mousse chocolate coffee gateaux. As we were having an evening meal, we saved the cakes tarts to eat later in our room. We had the 3 course evening meal £65 a head. NB most of the herbs and vegetables used by the chefs have been grown in the manor 's walled kitchen garden. Firstly, we had bread with tomato and beef crunchy onion whipped butters. Our starters were butternut squash risotto and pan-fried chop. Mains were charred, cider-poached beetroot and venison. We shared a dessert due to our afternoon tea leftovers. It was a dish of roasted strawberries, vanilla brulee a honey tuile. All beautifully presented and very tasty. The next morning, the breakfast menu had a good variety of options. Freshly squeezed juices, pastries, cereals fresh fruit were at the buffet but you could also opt for freshly-cooked porridge. I had a full English breakfast without mushrooms while my hubby has smoked haddock with Hollandaise capers. At Reception there is a lot of historical information about the manor and items for sale including jars of very local honey. Massages are offered here too but we did not indulge in any this time. All staff members were very friendly and helpful and we hope to go back soon. Rooms: 5 Service: 5 Location: 5 Hotel highlights: Luxury, Romantic, Quiet"
