Number of ‘Excellent’ reviews: 157

Following their experience, one customer commented: "Visited the hotel for a Champagne afternoon tea with some friends. Service was good. Prompt, checking back that everything was ok. Food was ample - none of us could finish the afternoon tea, so we took some of it home with us. Apparently this is a regular occurrence. Bottomless pots of tea, which was very welcome given the ample portions of food. I liked the sandwiches in particular, and the scones were great."
