Grantley Hall

The best wedding I’ve ever been to! Everything was perfect for my best friend. The venue, the food and especially the staff! All staff were friendly and welcoming but a shout out to Sam and Ben who made our first night but the biggest shout out to Thea who looked after us the whole time. She went the extra mile and made our experience so enjoyable

I have followed Grantley Hall on LinkedIn for the last few years since and always imagined it would be a unique and special experience. The grounds looked exquisite, awards and accolades were frequently being pinned to its lapel, and the way this place champions and celebrates its staff—promoting professional development and expressing gratitude—gave the impression of a workspace that would be a pleasure to serve guests within. Put plainly, it delivered in every way. The greeting at the gates was warm, bright, and they already knew of the ‘birthday boy’s’ arrival. We dined on the Shaun Rankin tasting menu, which made good on its promise to be both modern and inventive (beef dripping – as a nut-brown consommé) as well as locally sourced produce (some from their own garden) and a taste that would recollect Yorkshire’s traditions and past. Our waiter, Freddie, had lovely energy, and along with the whole serving team, executed the evening with precision, theatre, and authenticity. The sommeliers, Andrew and Alistair, were informative, intuitive, and clearly passionate about the range of wines on show. My birthday Louis XIII Cognac tasting still lingers on my taste buds! Our bartender, Harrison, served up ‘digestifs’ of Sidecars to bring our evening to a fitting close. His conversational manner and service struck just the right balance of engaging the guests while also giving them space to enjoy their drinks within the gorgeous Norton Room. We had a wonderful time in the spa, enjoying its range of facilities. The service was so helpful and informative about the best way to enjoy all the amenities. Here’s the summary: Grantley Hall has its own water source, a 2000-year-old borehole on site. And like water, luxury finds itself everywhere – coursing into every corridor, alcove, twist, and turn in the grounds; into every plate, glass, tray; into every detail in the room (we had a special dessert in our room – a delicate sponge topped with edible paper embossed with the Louis XIII logo). There is not an inch of this place that has not been considered, cogitated, and carefully constructed to give the guest an experience like no other. But what Nuno understands, truly understands, is that it is the staff who create any guest-centered experience. It was just so genuine. This team at Grantley Hall could be transported to any place, any service-led entity, and would elevate it one-hundred-fold. So, if you’re like us, a couple of regular folks who saved for a year for something special – you can trust this team, you can trust this place. It was truly unforgettable.

Impeccable stay Outstanding experience. Stan made our stay truly unforgettable. He handled an initially tricky situation so well - going above and beyond in every single way. Wow what an amazing young man with amazing communication and customer experience skills. Grantley Hall is lucky to have him. It's our favourite hotel in the UK. We will be back.
