On a arrival the receptionist never looked up from her computer, we said "We was there for afternoon tea," and she just said "It's in that room." So we went through were we stood around waiting for someone to come out to seat us. When the girl did come out and booked us in with a scowl on her face, and pointed to a table and said "Go over there." We wasn't the only ones who got treated like this, the other two tables one with a couple on and a couple of ladies on the other table experienced the same. We have been to plenty of afternoon teas, but this was definitely the worst one, and needs an overhaul as it was small and inadequate. You get about 1 teaspoon of raspberry jam and a small pot of cream and no butter, to share between two scones. An inch of bread cut with no crusts so about two slices filled with different fillings, no tomato or cucumber just a bit of green thrown over them, and these are for two people. Two small chocolate brownies, two small cakes which were awful and African violet jelly, which wasn't for us. There was four people plus us, and no one asked if everything was ok, or if we needed more tea or coffee. All in all very disappointed with the service and the afternoon tea, and definitely not worth the money. Which is a shame because the hotel is lovely and the grounds are beautiful.
