The feedback given here was also discussed with management when we left. The hotel needs to decide how to prioritise guests that are staying at the hotel, as in our opinion unfortunately an event is #1, ‘locals’ coming for the day #2, then guests a distant #3. I think this hotel would be a perfect spa break for midweek and a 5 score. Hotel was so busy that on saturday there was nowhere for guests to sit as bad weather. Food is excellent. Hotel, spa and setting the same. Spa should be free though for residents! Friendly service staff, albeit quite young.

A physically beautiful and comfortable hotel & Spa with friendly and courteous staff but a real lack of Management 'presence'. Complaint re rug trip hazard in bedroom never was dealt with in the 4 nights we were there. Room was not serviced at all on one day. No robe or towel was available on 1 of 2 visits to the Spa - had to fish a robe out of dirty linen basket. Food was tasty but too elaborate - did not recognise veg served with the plaice, which was the only main fish dish, other than a pasta one. Menu never changed. Dining staff were very pleasant but inattentive. No obvious system for feeding back comments direct to the hotel. Not good value for money.

Visited the restaurant for my husband’s birthday. The staff were very helpful with my food intolerances, very informative. The burger was overcooked though, pretty dry, hard and tasteless. I was offered a free dessert, which was delicious! It didn’t feel as good as when we visited last year. Beautiful location and views.

Went for Sunday afternoon tea. Food was brought out quickly and tasted fine, however sandwiches and scones were dry. Drinks order didn't arrive twice and wrong milk was brought to the table. Waiter didn't ask for our tea order and had to be repeatedly flagged down for orders. Not up to the standard of a supposed high end venue. Suspect there's a staffing/ management issue. Would like to give it another try, but won't be recommending.

We went for Sunday lunch as a family, 2 adults, 2 children. Restaurant was very busy. We were told we could have some drinks on the terrace as we were early. We sat out there and it was empty, only for staff to be stood talking, we had to go and ask for menus etc, go and ask again for another drink etc. Staff are quite young and quite unattentive and oblivious to people’s needs it seems. Food was nice, however restaurant is quite cramped, felt like we were out to dinner with the people next to us! Beautiful setting and building, just needs to get the service better in my opinion. We will return and give it another go but I am in no rush…

Having visited The Marquis for Afternoon Tea last week, I returned this morning to have a Gel manicure in the onsite Spa. The Spa, situated downstairs, has a welcoming and relaxing feel to it. I was greeted by Lauren H who led me through to one of the treatment tables. From start to finish, I experienced a professional and friendly service. Everything was very luxurious and comfortable. Lauren was very professional in all she carried out, frequently checking I was OK with the next part of the treatment. Other staff were equally as friendly and I was left feeling a very valued customer. This was a treat for me and one which will definitely be repeated. Afternoon Tea should also be mentioned. We were lucky the weather was hot and sunny and we were able to sit on the outside terrace. After a short delay our 'Tea' arrived and consisted of sandwiches, scones, cream , jam and a selection of exquisite pastries and cakes. I would definitely recommend a visit. The ambiance is such that you happily 'lose' yourself. The views across the countryside and Italian gardens add to the feel of a 'mini' stay, albeit only a few hours away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

I had booked a session in the spa followed by an early supper with a friend. The spa is elegant and well run. However we couldn’t really enjoy the outdoor pool as a loud and pretty drunk bunch of youngsters was out on the balcony above the pool. It felt odd with them looking down on us. We had been looking forward to our meal. We were lead to a table, but the seat and floor was covered in broken up bread roll and chips under the table. The waiter brushed the bread off the seat and gestured for me to sit down. I said I didn’t want to sit at a table with food all over the floor. He went to get a brush and we asked to be seated at another table rather than stand there, with only one table in use. However I could see the ripped lining of the banquets hanging down to the floor and the corners had stuffing coming out. Really very tatty. I counted 8 FOH staff not doing much when the restaurant was essentially empty, but no one had swept under the tables since lunch service. All the staff said ‘cheers’ as they left the table. It seems like there’s been no training. Untrained staff and tatty grubby furniture I certainly wouldn’t go back.
