Summary
Afternoon tea at this deluxe Elizabethan country house hotel can be a “great experience in beautiful surroundings”. Other aspects of the trip, however, “don’t always live up to the ambience”.

Summary
Champneys has spent £12 million refurbishing this Elizabethan country house hotel since taking it over in 2016. Reports on the dining room were sparse this year: some suggest its standards generally “are not on a par” with the “stunning setting”, but there were no serious complaints and fans declare its luxurious cuisine to be “excellent”.
Summary
One “for those special occasions” – a “gracious” dining room “in an Elizabethan manor house with lovely views over the countryside”; the food doesn’t quite live up to it, but the arrival of a new chef has marked a “fine improvement” of late, and afternoon tea remains a favourite (“beautifully presented” and with an “excellent” choice).
