Ferrari’s Country House Hotel and Restaurant

Christine

We are a group of four who have gone out together every week for years. would recommend you give it a try. It's never disappointed, and we are fussy! Home made food that's fantastic hot and service second to none. And not just that but a fantastic price.

We were planning our wedding and contacted several places to make appointments to see them and discuss holding our wedding there. We knew where Ferraris was and that it was a beautiful location. We made an appointment to meet them and turned up on time. There was nobody on reception although there were 2 people setting the tables in the room next door and in full view of us. We waited for 10 minutes before one of them came over and asked what we wanted. When we explained that we had an appointment to see their wedding advisor we were told to sit down and wait. No offer was made of a drink or anything else. It was another 20 minutes before the owner turned up. She made no apology for being 30 minutes late and gave the impression that we were wasting her time. She briefly showed us the wedding reception room and then made it quite obvious that we had outstayed our welcome. No offer was made to show us the rest of the hotel. When we were leaving we noticed a leaflet by the front door promoting a wedding fayre 2 days later. Nobody mentioned this to us at all. It would have been an ideal opportunity to discuss it. When outside we walked round the gardens and found a big pile of sick by the front door that had not been cleaned up. The whole experience was extremely off putting. It is a shame as the hotel is in a lovely location. It is simply let down by the attitude of the owner and staff. We did not feel that they would care about us enough to make our wedding day special.

We were most impressed with the high quality of the food. 3 course Sunday lunch with coffee at only £10.50 was a bargain to say the least. No pingping meals here - definitely home cooked fayre with imagination. I agree that the decor is traditional, but the food was exceptional, service was very prompt and the well maintained grounds beautiful. The function room was nice and cosy. We were so impressed that we've booked to get married there.

The building is stunning, a lovely long driveway. The house is set in beautiful grounds, which are well maintained. (The rubble mentioned by the previous reviewer is now a tasteful extension for functions!). Inside the decor is traditional but tasteful. It's been recently renovated and the bar area is very cosy. The menu was extensive and all of our party were very pleased with their food. My lamb loin was perfectly cooked. The bread and butter pudding made with panetone was heavenly! The wine list is also excellent and the staff were happy to recommend a good wine to go with our meal. This restaurant is ideal for a special occasion and I'd highly recommend a visit!
