"We, my wife, daughter and I, had dinner at Grafton Manor and it was a wonderful experience."
One downside was that the curtains in the room did not fully shut due to the way they were operated, leaving a gap in the middle. Additionally, there were no net curtains, making the room visible to anyone outside. This could be inconvenient, especially for getting ready for a wedding in the bridal suite. The outside space was not very interesting, more like a small courtyard with seating for dining outdoors. The single-pane windows let in a lot of noise from the nearby motorway, although it became less noticeable after a few minutes.
There was ample parking and easy access to the room through a side door with a key. The room had plenty of storage space for clothes, toiletries were provided...
I was bought a Groupon voucher for prosecco afternoon tea here and looked forward to it as had heard good things about Grafton Manor. To be fair to them, they let me book it days after my voucher expired which they didn't have to do but generally I wasn't overly impressed with the actual afternoon tea or grounds/decor of this manor house quite run down, cobwebs etc. There was only one girl working who looked rushed off her feet bless her, and it was only my mom and I in the dining area which made the atmosphere very ... quiet! The selection of food on the afternoon tea was very standard and nothing really special about it. I usually take bits home with me in a doggie bag but I didn't bother...
Me and a group of friends reserved an afternoon tea at the Manor through groupon. The building was very historic and was very pleasant inside, it had a Victorian feel to it. We were impressed with the friendly staff and service which was very attentive and helpful. The afternoon tea comprised of finger sandwiches with various fillings, scones with jam and clotted cream and some small cakes. It was lovely food but I feel for the number of people in our party the food wasn’t enough-the cakes were bite size and we only had one scone each. Compared to other teas it was very little for what we paid. It was nice though and we had a lovely afternoon overall.
My friend and I have visited Grafton Manor for Afternoon Tea on several occasions using Groupon Vouchers. Despite some negative reviews, we have always enjoyed our experience and continue to return. The staff is always welcoming and the hotel has a charming old Manor House style that adds to the occasion. If you prefer modern settings, this may not be the place for you. We never feel rushed during our visits, and the tea and coffee are always plentiful. The food is served beautifully, although the cakes may have been a bit repetitive the last time we visited. Overall, we are eagerly anticipating our next visit to Grafton Manor!

Myself and my 5 friends went here for an afternoon tea. We arrived on time and the place looked fairly small but quaint. The grounds looked quite nice and would be beautiful, I imagine on a summers day. We were greeted by a very friendly lady, who showed us to our table. The staff were very friendly and polite. However the afternoon tea was a let down. Rather than the lovely cakes they show on their website, we had, what looked like discount supermarket bites (please see pic). I would not go here again as the quality of the food is not worth it.
Despite the grand looking house and warm welcome from the attentive staff we couldn't overlook the fact that we had an afternoon tea that was really nothing special to match the house and location. Chipped crockery, a dirty teapot, not really what you expect from such an establishment. Sandwiches were tasty but unadventurous and cake selection cut up into tiny pieces so more like a taster selection. It was adequate but underwhelming in lots of ways.
The hotel is a very splendid old Manor House with plenty of charm. Room sizes are very generous, huge bathrooms, lovely big comfy bed, hard to fault .. one could be picky and suggest a splash of paint in the public rooms but it’s a minor issue. Food was very good, lovely choices, freshly made, well executed..
An amazing place. The Hotel and staff were fantastic. We had an amazing family day celebrating my Mum’s 90th birthday. Wonderful food and accommodation.

Food was delicious but do check for Groupon vouchers before you go, we didn't and paid a LOT more than the table next to us.
