Weston Hall

We visited Weston Hall yesterday for afternoon tea. I was surprised they could fit us in at short notice. I took my mother-in-law (to be) as she was visiting for a few days. The hall is in a lovely picturesque location, looks very nice from the outside. We only went into the Cellar but it was very well presented, it felt like we were somewhere special (unlike another hall we went to for my birthday last year that put us in a “tea room” that just felt like a children’s cafe). We were seated in front of an open fire which would’ve been perfect last week but it was the warmest day of the year yesterday! It didn’t spoil our visit but my MIL had to move away a bit. The food was delicious and plentiful. We had a glass of Prosecco and a pot of tea. We ended up taking some cakes and scones away with us, as did several others who were there. We were also given an extra cupcake as well. Had to get some photos outside once the rain has stopped!

Wow! Thank you for a fabulous afternoon. Visited with my mum for the festive meal; absolutely gorgeous, each course. No mean feat, as we’re both quite fussy eaters! The atmosphere is just perfect - the staff have created the right mix of attentiveness and friendliness. Spotlessly clean throughout. Beautifully and tastefully decorated for Christmas. Thank you so much to the WH team for a special and memorable visit. We’re already recommending to family and friends. Happy New Year to you all!

Just enjoyed a one night stay at this lovely, lovely hotel. From start to finish the entire team working there were welcoming, efficient, professional, attentive and all round brilliant. Most importantly - without exception. Special thanks to Jamie for being so patient with his - he's brilliant. The lobby / lounge area is cosy comfortable and welcoming and has a fantastic selection of drinks and cocktails. Rooms are spacious, warm and well stocked. Despite having exposed beams there was no musty smell and the room and ensuite were spotlessly clean. Dinner was beautifully cooked and presented, again with great service and was enjoyable. Up until breakfast I was going to give 5 stars but it really was totally inconsistent with everything else we had experienced during our stay. Fortunately it was made very clear to us on arrival that it was only a continental breakfast included on our package and that cooked was at an additional charge. However, have to say that it was a disappointing continental. Cheese curling at the edges, cold toast, no offer of top up of hot beverages and just the variety of what was on offer was extremely poor. Only pastries were croissants and choc croissants- would have expected (at a hotel of this calibre) to have seen other options too. Would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone and will return if back in the area but would be nice if the breakfast just had a bit of a revamp to keep up with everything else.

We had a wonderful Afternoon Tea at Weston Hall as a family of six, and it truly exceeded our expectations. The setting was beautiful and made the whole experience feel really special. The selection of food was fantastic, with a great balance of savoury and sweet treats — but the highlight for me was definitely the Parma Violet macaron, which was absolutely delicious and so unique! The kids’ Afternoon Tea was equally impressive — perfectly pitched for younger ones with fun, thoughtful touches that made them feel just as special as the adults. It’s not always easy to find somewhere that caters so well for all ages, but Weston Hall got it spot on. Thank you for such a lovely afternoon — we’ll definitely be back!

When reading this review please bear in mind that the cost is £27.95 per person for afternoon tea. Weston Hall is a splendid looking building and the thought of having Afternoon tea for my wife’s birthday was one we were looking forward to. Once seated we ordered freshly ground coffee and the coffee was brought to our table in no time at all. Unfortunately from here on , it’s an account of great disappointment. One of the coffee cups were chipped on the rim , the coffee was lukewarm And was so weak I think it was made from used ground coffee beans. The coffee cup was replaced and fresh coffee was brought to the table. The sandwiches and scones / cakes were served. One of the plates on the cake stand had two chips in the rim, the sandwiches looked totally unappetising. The fillings were only just there and tasteless, the white bread was stale and had a hard texture to the outer sides. You could get better sandwiches from ASDA basics take out counter ( if there is such a sandwich) ! The jam in the pot that accompanied the scones appeared to have been used by others prior to being served to ourselves. The fruit scones had the minimum amount of fruit in them , if there were six pieces of fruit in one of them you would be lucky. All in all a very disappointing afternoon tea , we did complain and we did receive a reduction in the bill , the total cost for the afternoon tea should have been £27.95 x 2. £55.90 , it was not worth £10.00 each. In our opinion DON’T waste your hard earned money on this very poor quality Afternoon Tea.

Absolutely wonderful ! We stayed in the aptly named ‘ Weston ‘ room. Absolutely beautiful room and en-suite which has been decorated tastefully and with style. Our room was spotless, as is the entire hotel. It’s only fair also, to give credit to the housekeeping team, who clearly take pride in what they do. Our breakfast was lovely, as was the lady who tended to us and ensured that we were taken care of. If you enjoy the finer things in life, peace and quiet and a rural setting, then I would definitely recommend this hotel.
