Stunning Venue and outstanding customer service!
Pros:

I held a business event at Willington. A mini retreat about social media and I loved it and so did everyone who came along. The hotel and staff were super super friendly and went out of their way to help. The food and the mocktails were STUNNING! and the venue speaks for itself. Dreamy! Thank you Moira and team we will be back very soon! Highly recommend !

Hotel was lovely. But very expensive
Pros:

Lovely period property

Cons:

Upgraded one of the rooms and the tv didn’t work, sat in the window for dinner which was under a radiator. Which was very hot and became very uncomfortable

Terrible way to treat people
Pros:

Terrible experience today; I had booked for afternoon tea for my friends and they had the booking down incorrectly for 16 February and marked me as a ‘no show’ I was in India on the 16th and simply didn’t book for this date. They said we could have a scone each a glass of Prosecco and tea and coffee! They asked me to pay for four more scones and another desert, which I did. It was embarrassing and I was made to feel awful. Won’t be going again… the only good thing was my friend said the afternoon tea looked pretty pathetic anyway

Dissappointing afternoon tea
Pros:

We booked this place for afternoon tea and it wasn't that great. That said, the setting of the house is fantastic, and the poor staff who are run off their feet are very nice. Nicer than I would be under the stress.
Back tot he afternoon tea. The sandwiches were nice, they really were, just not enough of them. The single scone eat was OK, but used to 2 scones eat. The 3 cakes each were coffee, walnut and an eclair. The 80 year old and the 92 year old in our party don't like coffee, or walnut. To be honest, I think they are marmite flavours. Non of us wanted to say anything because the poor girl working was snowed under and seemed to be doing everything on her own. We didn't want to add to her workload.
I say the above hoping WH picks up on this and makes improvements, this could be a fantastic place. for afternoon tea.
