Dovecliff Hall Hotel

"Sunday lunch: Very welcoming staff with the young waitresses, especially smart & friendly. The pianist added atmosphere to the pleasantly decorated but rather chilly dinning room. The meal was sadly only average being reminiscent of pub food but in smaller portions. The 10% discretionary service charge is hard to justify, surely easier to take 6 plates to 1 table than 6 plates to 6 tables? In any event, it is not pooled for the staff,( Neither of the 2 waitresses I asked, were aware that the service charge went to them?) so I asked for it to be removed & tipped the staff directly. A pity that was necessary."

"The restaurant here is absolutely superb. Cost wise its only a little more expensive than local pub/restaurants, but the dining here is on a different level. Wine list is excellent, really good choices. Steak was sublime. Beautiful surroundings and tasteful decor. I love it."

"The hotel is in a really pretty setting. The staff were really excellent and made us feel welcome. The food was excellent quality and it was the best cooked breakfast I had in a while. All four of us in our party felt the same. We really enjoyed the Christmas party atmosphere but felt it would have been better if the music started an hour later and therefore ended an hour later. We look forward to our next visit! Debbie, Russell, Elizabeth and Chris"

"Just had lunch with friends. Beautiful surroundings all tastefully decorated for Christmas. Service was excellent and discreet, food was outstanding, just delicious, we will definitely be back. The owner Anton took the time to chat to us and welcome us, really friendly place."

"Great location, lovely building, quiet, comfy and good food. Enjoyed the atmosphere of eating in the sunny orangery overlooking the extensive grounds.. with good food not an enormous menue (always a good sign as obvs freshly cooked!) and a friendly service. Felt relaxed after a great night's sleep."
