A beautiful and memorable place to celebrate a milestone birthday — exceptional food, wonderful service and a very speci
Pros:

Palé Hall was the perfect place to celebrate my 50th birthday. The house and grounds are beautiful, full of history and character, but the atmosphere is warm and relaxed rather than overly formal. The staff were excellent throughout and made us feel genuinely looked after. Food was a highlight: we loved the wine cellar experience and Luke Selby’s tasting menu was exceptional — imaginative, beautifully presented and one of the most memorable meals we’ve had. Our room was lovely and breakfast was excellent too. A genuinely special place.

Cons:

Very little. It is expensive once dining, wine and experiences are added, but we knew that before arriving and felt the quality and overall experience justified it. If anything, we just wished we had another night!

Pale Pleasure
Pros:

In a beautiful setting with superb staff who could not do enough to make our stay enjoyable. This included the treatment on arrival by reception through to an outstanding dinner with selected wines ( thank you Bruce and your kind colleague) on Sunday evening.
I competed in the Bala Triathlon and used the amazing bathtub afterwards.
Also a super conversation with Calum Milne on Monday morning as we left about the Estate, the sheep and the cattle.
