   I just love all things about Cantley House Hotel. The staff are so accommodating and no request is too much. I don’t have any specific dietary requirements but I am fussy with what I like but they don’t bat an eyelid and are happy to make swaps for me. It’s my favourite place to go for afternoon tea. I’ll certainly be back again 👌🏻

   Delicious & well presented food, really friendly and professional service, coffee and tea were refilled + jugs of water. Would definitely recommend.

   Everything was perfect… the staff, the service, the food, the ambience and their willingness to accommodate my fussy food preferences. Cannot rate it highly enough!

   Disappointed. The sandwiches were dry. The cakes were all beige and tasted the same. The scones were freshly baked and still warm. All served with award winning Birchall tea - unless you want a refill then you Tetley tea bags…. We also asked if they would do something a bit special as it was for one of the guests 50th birthday to which the waitress said of course we can do a separate cake with happy birthday on the side but it never arrived!!!

   We went to Cantley House for the Father Christmas afternoon tea experience. When we got there, our table wasn’t laid, and when they did lay it they didn’t have any tea spoons, so we got wooden stirrers. They brought our food out, and only brought enough for 2 children, when we had 3. This was rectified. The food was very tasty and filling. On to Father Christmas. The lady dressed as an Elf who took us to Father Christmas was very upbeat and did her best to create excitement. Father Christmas himself was disappointing. He wasn’t particularly good with Children. We were in there for about a minute before it was over. We also didn’t get to decorate a ginger bread man with Mrs Claus, which was listed on the experience description. We won’t be returning next year as overall we left feeling quite disappointed.

   Booked a table for five for afternoon tea. The service was fabulous, the atmosphere was homely, welcoming but also peaceful. We all enjoyed the food and we weren’t at all hassled or hurried. I would certainly book again.

   We thoroughly enjoyed our festive afternoon tea. Lovely atmosphere and food. Service couldn't be better. We were offered a choice of sandwiches, offered extra cream, jam and teas. Definitely going again

    We had a lovely aftenoon tea with yourselves, the waiter was lovely very welcoming and attentive. explained everything for us, very friendly. The setting was lovely and the food was delicious, the right amoubt to have and good value for money, my only concern was the sandwiches I felt were a little dry but I wan't ure if they had come out of a cold fridge, I have had bread before on afternoon sandwiches and they felt softer and fresher. would definitely come again though.
