Visited for my wife’s 60th birthday and it didn’t disappoint. From start to finish we received a very exceptional Yorkshire welcome and service. From the Norton Bar, where we met Ben and Lilly, to the Fletchers restaurant where every member of staff were attentive and very friendly - too many to name individually. The food was again exceptional, with the surf and turf fillet steak topping everything. Can’t wait to return, to our new favourite place. Darren and Deborah

What an experience! We booked the Afternoon Tea and Spa package whilst 2 friends booked the Twilight Spa package. Booking was easy with immediate confirmation. Unfortunately I was then called for surgery so had to postpone the booking. No problem and received a lovely message from the team wishing me well. Events changed and my op was cancelled on the day. I rang the hotel reception who arranged for my booking to be reinstated. Phew! We arrived early for the tea so that we could walk around the grounds. Reception gave us a map of the grounds. I loved the Japanese garden. We then headed to the outside terrace and had a drink at the side of the river. For the Afternoon Tea every item was explained. My vegetarian option had been carefully created for me. Every single mouthful was an experience! The setting in the Drawing Room was beautiful. The items that we didn’t have room for were carefully packaged for us to take home. The staff in the hotel were all exceptionally friendly and helpful. The one member of staff who stood out and made our experience even more memorable was called Daisy. She is definitely a credit to the hotel. We then headed to the Spa area. The reception team in the Spa gave us a lovely greeting. They explained where everything was and how to use the lockers. Again… what an experience! Hot tub, Nordic Spa Garden, pool, steam and sauna rooms and a snow room (remember to keep your flip flops on)! Everything was spotlessly clean. Water and fruit was readily available. The towels and robes were super soft. Our whole experience at Grantley is one that we’ll remember for a long time. Definitely to be repeated soon. It is an expensive treat but it is a very special place with the most amazing staff.

My husband and I had watched the amazing Channel 5 documentary about Grantley Hall and loved it so much, I decided to save up and take him to afternoon tea for his birthday as a suprise.Our amazing experience started the night before when I received a courtesy call from Alison who was to serve our afternoon tea the following day...a lovely gesture. On arrival on the day, were greeted so warmly at the gates by the staff..we drive a 14 year old purple Panda and was worried it would look ridiculous being valet parked next to a Bentley but we needn't have worried,there was a car park we could park ourselves round the corner. It was nice to see all the amazing posh cars parked at the front as we walked in though! We were greeted warmly by the staff in reception and then Alison appeared and took us into the drawing room.What can I say?it was breath taking!!The attention to detail was just magnificent. There was a talented pianist playing piano whilst we were sat just adding to the lovely atmosphere. Alison talked us through the afternoon tea menu ..she was so knowledgeable about the food,the ingredients and how everything was prepared.How she remembered all the fine details I do not know but it was amazing to find out how all the dishes were put together. The food was a work of art...it was almost a shame to eat it...I could have stared at it for hours !!! We didn't of course and it was the best experience ever backed up by unlimited teas/coffees which were sublime. My husband was presented with a birthday card and a birthday plate at the end which was unexpected but a lovely gesture..it just topped everything off. We were encouraged to have a look around afterwards and explore the grounds which we did and it was heavenly.The work that goes into keeping it so beautiful is astonishing.I never thought I would ever have the chance to see Grantley Hall in all it's splendour and it was really emotional to actually see it for real after seeing it on the TV. I would like to thank every single staff member we met that day and give Alison and the afternoon tea staff a special mention because they really do go above and beyond. We will never forget this day...it was beyond outstanding!!

“Stunning building, function room and grounds. Attentive staff.”

Stunning building, function room and grounds. Terrible weather on the day visited, but staff very attentive with umbrellas at the ready. Wedding menu choices especially the vegetarian option well presented and good quality.
