Ston Easton Park

Gosh, what a lovely surprise to find a warm welcome to this traditional country house hotel with log fires, lovely friendly service, very comfortable rooms and a very good chef. We had a wonderful time with friends staying overnight so could really enjoy ourselves. Lovely afternoon champagne tea. Wonderful three course dinner, lovely wines. Good night's sleep. Highly recommended.

Our stay here was excellent in every way. Even down to the menu not changing over the 3 days we were there and the chef cooking us something not on the menu. We were lucky enough to have several helicopters arrive and take off whilst we sat in the window bays of our room and looked on. The staff were always available for our littlest whim and always polite, friendly and professional. The house is stunning, the grounds expansive and the afternoon tea to be recommended if you're just in the area.

We went today as a party of 11 for an aunties birthday. We booked for afternoon festive tea. We were sat in a room downstairs, poor lighting and not a single decoration, fairy light or candle in sight. Pots of tea were brought in and placed on the table, we had barely any teaspoons and no sugar. Tiers of sandwiches scones and cakes were brought in, each one was to serve 3 people. The sandwiches were very dry but the scones and cakes were lovely. During the 4 hours we were there not one member of staff came down to see us or ask if we needed anything. At one stage one of us had to go and ask for some more tea at which point we were given a pot of hot water to pour into our already used cold loose leaf tea! This was undrinkable! The only reason we stayed was because it was a family occasion and had a lot to catch up on. It was appalling over priced with no service. We paid £22.50 each but their prices have gone up again aparantly! Such a shame as with a little effort it could have been so lovely but we won't be going back!
