Widbrook Grange

Disappointed, especially with the room (Piggery no 7) - the bathroom was in poor condition and smelt unpleasant. Feedback was shared with the staff whilst I was there and a promised response from the General Manager has been a week in the waiting! Spoilt what should have been a celebratory birthday weekend. In summary, room bore no resemblance to those represented on the website.

Hughly recommend High tea at Widbrook Grange. Traditional tiered high tea service (did have a bite of the salmon finger sandwich before thinking to take a photo) with large pots of tea or coffee in a fabulous rural setting with historic Bradford-on-Avon township just 5 minutes away. Very competitively priced & absolutely worth it.

Generally we enjoyed our stay which was for my wife’s birthday. The Seamstress’ Room was atmospheric and we loved the roll top bath and comfortable four poster bed. Dinner was fine, although we were ignored by the waiter for at least ten minutes before being attended to. An American couple who were also being ignored got up and left! A couple who appeared to be regulars managed to get their orders in as soon as they were shown to their table so were served much quicker than anyone else which was annoying. Waiters should be trained to acknowledge diners and several drinks much quicker rather than ignoring them! My wife’s crab ravioli starter was very disappointing as it had precious little crab in it. My scallops were excellent. Our mains (lemon chicken and beef fillet) were very good. After-dinner cocktails were good. Breakfast was good but no-one had serviettes so us guests had to find them in a side cabinet ourselves - again, evidence that the young waiters are poorly trained. On checking out our invoice was not itemised so we just had to trust that we hadn’t been over-charged for food and drinks. Again I feel that an itemised bill should be essential. Shame that these easily rectifiable details took the edge off our stay!
