What a lovely way to spend an afternoon with my daughter! We both have dietary requirements but the chef made sure we had a good range of food to eat and it was delicious. Great service as well. A big thank you.

Visited 1/11/23 for afternoon tea which was gift from daughters family. Took daughter and granddaughters aged 9yrs and 16months.Good food. Service excellent, nothing was too much trouble. All staff well presented, smiling and very helpful. Would recommend very highly.

Booked for afternoon tea yesterday it was lovely very well presented and the waitress and waiter were both very attentive We stayed the night in the Blenheim room which was nice and cosy overlooking the beautiful lawn the evening meal was exceptional surpassed only by the attention of Sam G - he made the evening more enjoyable he is certainly a credit to himself and the company would definately stay again

Love coming to Mere Court, the afternoon teas are beautiful. The staff are brilliant and friendly, nothing is too much trouble for them. Will definitely be arranging another visit very soon.

Comfortable night’s sleep. Our room was near the kitchen so noisy extractors. Evening meal was well presented. One chicken dish and the other plaice. Chicken was succulent with a mushroom sauce. Plaice with samphire and brown shrimps tasty, but lacked carbs so ordered separately. Waiting staff very attentive and professional. Breakfast choices were varied, especially the ones to order, such as eggs Benedict. Over all, a good stopping place between Scotland and the South West.

This beautiful country house in lovely gardens, sadly flatters to deceive. There is little care and attention to cleanliness outside and inside the property, with little evidence of any kind of ongoing maintenance. It all felt quite odd, from the lack of welcome, to being asked to sit and wait in the bar but with no drink or explanation offered, to being asked twice if we were here for lunch. ANd then if we had a voucher. The Sunday Lunch menu was a 2/3 course set menu with limited choice. We were sat in a room with no other diners. Other rooms were busy with Afternoon Tea diners. The light fittings were faulty and so the main light was not on, in an already gloomy room. If not for the luck of sunshine, we'd have been in a pretty dark environment. I ordered a bottle of sparkling water but was told I could only have a large one. I asked for ice specifically but none came. We got the distinct feeling that no-one really cared. The lunch was decidedly average, the roast beef in particular cooked beyond actual taste. The gravy its only saving grace. We didn't risk pudding. I can't believe the AA would now provide a Rosette. As we walked out, having to get up to ask for the bill at the bar after a lengthy wait, we both thought what a shame that such a lovely property and grounds were so poorly kept.

Booked afternoon tea for 4 people, Beautiful setting, Nice welcome,staff very attentive and helpful. Food was delicious, very fresh, scones were still warm absolutely beautiful. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent surroundings, Food served by a very pleasant and friendly waiter. Really enjoyed our afternoon tea

Ordered lunch. The wrong meal came meaning one of us had to wait whilst other ate. When it came it wasn’t as described on the menu. A double disappointment and recompenses were not offered.

Had a great night, good food, polite and friendly staff. Extra special as it was a birthday treat.

Excellent from start to finish, great staff and lovely food.

Excellent service from the team. Welcoming and friendly. We attended afternoon tea and the food was exceptional. When we visited there was a wasp problem outside, fortunately we were inside so it didn’t affect us but it’s something the hotel needs to sort.

Excellent food and outstanding service

An excellent meal to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Very good waiter but the restaurant was very quiet and slightly lacking in atmosphere.

My three friends and I had afternoon tea (Groupon deal). The hotel and grounds are beautiful. All members of staff were friendly, attentive and professional. We all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The varied selection of sandwiches, cakes and tea were plentiful and delicious (we could not finish all of it, so we took some home with us). We all highly recommend the afternoon tea and would happily return here again.

We had a lovely afternoon tea. Highly recommended.

We got an afternoon tea voucher and I contacted the hotel to enquire as to whether they would be able to cater for my coeliac daughter. The reply was yes (which I wasn’t expecting especially as it was a voucher) When we got there, the lady who greeted us with her beautiful smile said she understood that coeliac was a “celery allergy” - oh no! My heart sank but she quickly corrected herself. I was dubious then wondering what was going to be served to my daughter (she is only 10 & was really excited for this!) and honestly, I cannot fault the food, the service, the atmosphere - absolutely everything was just brilliant. Thank you so much for our treat, we have posted reviews on the coeliac Facebook pages that I am on so I hope you get lots more business from a very happy mama!!

Lovely hotel. Used a voucher to take four of us out for afternoon tea. Very well presented. We each had large individual teapots. Really good sandwiches, very tasty. The scones were excellent and served warm. The cakes were a lovely selection, especially the Bakewell tart and lemon sponge. The room was small, quiet and intimate.
