Grantley Hall

I booked Champagne afternoon tea for my friend of 44 years, 60th Birthday. From the moment we arrived at the gate we treated wonderfully by all the staff. The lovely young man at the gate kindly arranged to have umbrellas waiting as we neared the hotel door. The charming door man, patiently took photos of us on arrival and showed us through to the afternoon tea room. Once there we were looked after incredibly well by Cris - she was very smiley, super sweet and kind. We had some lovely chats with her. She and her husband who also worked in that room were outstanding. We managed to keep chatting until well beyond afternoon tea time - and moved into the bar area, and then went on a tour of the hotel and met Elise another staff member, again utterly engaging, charming and professional. The hotel is exquisite but the staff and their training are extraordinary. I had been once before for a Shaun Rankin dinner which was out of this world and thought the hotel might not be as good second time round but it was totally faultless. Huge thanks and congratulations to all the staff and the lovely girl on reception as we left (7.30pm!) You all did an amazing job and made my best friend's 60th - a birthday to remember!

It was our first visit to Grantley, we were very impressed and were given a tour of the hotel. The team at Afternoon Tea (Cris, Maicon & Akef) went out of their way to make sure we were well catered for, explaining everything we were about to eat and giving us options, their attention to detail was impeccable. The food was very good and beautifully presented and we weren't quite able to finish it all and were given an impressive "doggy bag" to take home. Highly recommend - every staff we came across greeted us with a smile and one even relinquished her umbrella so we didn't get soaked with the rain. (Think Janey, but not sure)

Another delicious afternoon tea at the fabulous Grantley Hall. The whole experience is delivered with great attention to detail beginning with the welcome by the doorman, the greeting from the Maitre’d in the sitting room and the impeccable service by the charming Cris. When there is so much attention to detail you’re sure that the food will reflect that. The savouries were so tasty, the scones warm and served with clotted cream and two types of jam, prepared on site. The cakes were a work of art- almost a shame to break into them but needs must and they tasted as good as they looked. Add to this a selection of freshly brewed teas, where you can try as many different ones as you like. Thankfully the wether was dry so we were able to have a walk in the lovely grounds to finish off a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. We will be back.

Stayed for my wife’s 80th birthday in the Royal Suite together with my son and daughter in law who stayed in a suite. From the second you walk through the entrance it’s amazing. The room was out of this world, the staff are the best I have ever come across and I have stayed in some great hotels. The grounds are pristine and a delight to walk around. As for meals in the restaurants, perfection is the only word I can describe them as. The spa and outside area are a delight. We just cannot wait to return to this magical place.

My partner asked him to marry him at this hotel, we got a complimentary upgrade to a suite and private dining experience. I felt like royalty, the staff couldn’t do enough and we want to come back and get married at Grantley Hall. The spa is amazing, food at fletchers was outstanding and the grounds are gorgeous. Can’t wait for our family and friends to experience it when we come back to tie the knot. Thank you

Where do I start?! My wife and I had 2 nights stay here last week. Grantley Hall has been on our radar for a while now, but we’ve not been able to make it work for one reason or another, so fast forward to check in, we couldn’t have been anymore excited. Grantley Hall is not just a hotel, it’s an experience. Our expectations were not just met, they were surpassed more than we could ever have imagined. The staff are fantastic, the bedrooms are pure luxury, and the gardens are beautiful. In fact, there wasn’t one area of the whole estate that I came across which looked unmaintained. It’s tranquil and the true definition of an escape. The food was exquisite, especially in Fletchers. A special mention to Tim from Fletchers who cared for us expertly. We still tell our friends now that he was one of the most approachable and friendliest, yet professional Maitre d we have ever met. He made us feel so comfortable, we actually felt like we had known him for years. I even had to ask him what he was wearing because my wife thought he smelt amazing. Every staff member we came across was a credit to be fair, but Tim was special! We can’t wait to return over the Christmas period. What a place!
