Grantley Hall

The best afternoon tea experience bar none. Superb food, outstanding service, magnificent surroundings. Makes Betty's seem extremely ordinary. The cakes are a work of art. Not cheap but worth every penny. Highly recommended for a special treat

We visited Grantley Hall for Afternoon Tea and it was a real treat. From the moment we were greeted at the Gatehouse to the time it was to say goodbye we felt welcome. What a great introduction to Grantley Hall. We can’t wait till return for a leisurely lunch soon.

Five Star Hotel Five Star Pastries Fiver Star Staff Five Star overall experience If we could give Grantley Hall 10 Stars we would. A warm welcome awaits the minute you arrive from gate staff to Doorman. The Drawing Room setting for afternoon tea is stunning and exceptionally comfortable. First couse of finger sandwiches and savouries were delicious but the second course of Pastries were to die for. Three highlights were the Chocolate Swan, The Rose and Cherry with Matcha. Finished of with tea infused Scones with homemade preserves and Clotted Cream. We will definitely come again hopefully to stay next time as we were only passing through today. This is one Afternoon Tea not to be missed a credit to its creator Stephan Rose.

My daughter chose this fabulous hotel for her 21st birthday! She sure has taste. From start to finish there is nothing I would fault with Grantley! Exquisite food, fabulous selection of beverages and above all the most amazing service from all the staff. This place is alongside the likes of Ciprianj Venice and Sandy Lane. Look forward to returning at Christmas!

Was treated to afternoon tea by a friend. She had a voucher. Very good waiting staff but under whelming food. Got 4 sandwiches the size of a fish finger, cheap bread and some very small savoury bites. I only had 3 as I hate smoked salmon and if we had been veggie’s or vegan there was no other choice offered. Plenty of cakes followed but the scones were very dry. Others were really nice but would’ve preferred more savoury choices and less sweet

This is a follow up to my initial impression/review on check in. The check in process clearly glitched the day we arrived but the staff were very apologetic and sincere. Now after staying for four full nights I must advise everyone that Grantley Hall is absolutely wonderful!! The grounds are pristine; the restaurants ((Fletchers, 88 and the Orchard) were fabulous and the spa/gym are to die for!! The entertainment at the nightclub on Friday and Saturday nights was such fun. But what stands out the most is the staff at Grantley. We interacted with such great professional staff members and were treated so nicely throughout our stay. Special thanks to Nickolai from guest services who went out of his way to drive us to and from nearby Ripon. He was outstanding. Grantley Hall is on our list to return to asap

We paid c1200 for a 2 night stay, not including food and drinks . First thoughts are the staff were very polite and attentive and the hotel is clearly relatively new. The pool area is very small and on the first day appeared cramped as guests were unable to relax outside due to the weather. However the facilities including a snow room and saunas were excellent The restaurant food was good. Although for the cost we should have expected better, the chicken in the chicken bowl for lunch was cubed, dry and less than a full breast. We also had a meal in Shaun Rankin. Again nice but when at a Michelin starred restaurant, value for money still matters. Our room was nice and this is perhaps an odd observation... The plaster work is awful. Who funds renovations for 70 million and allows this to pass. The worse area being around the window. The bathroom is really nicely laid out with bulgari soaps etc.. but the mould and dirt along the drainage trough is revolting. The free snacks and half bottle of welcome fizz is as anticipated for a room priced as such. The bed was too hard. The grounds are lovely with spectacular trees but again the beds are not maintained to the highest level and the paths are weedy with the stones blighting the borders. The extensive water feature is empty and corroding. We went to Valarias for drinks and had a double rum and coke and a double G&T... 38 quid .... So ... We definitely wouldn't go back. We don't mind splashing the cash but it has to be worth it

Looking forward to our 4 night stay with family celebrating our daughter’s post graduate degree from Uni. Hopefully the remaining days and nights will be better than first impressions. Spent over 2 1/2 hours just waiting around for even one of our two suites to be ready—despite false promises as to time for room readiness. Lobby and lounge just noisy as people wait around for staff to alert them when rooms finally available. Had hoped to use the spa before dinner, but not possible with delays in room readiness. Not a five star experience as it feels like the check in process for busy London tourist hotel. Hopefully the 5 star experience begins later

I never leave reviews, and not often am I lost for words, only one I can use……….perfection. From start to finish the service was amazing, food delicious. The staff incredible, the grounds beautiful ( even in typical English rainy weather) a pure delight to visit, and made my mums special birthday one she will remember.
