I’ve just returned from 2 nights at Grays Court Hotel for my birthday. When we arrived there were parking spots available only to guests which was great. The entrance is beautiful, the whole outside of the building is stunning. The welcome we received was very warm and friendly from a lady whose name I wish I’d caught. She’s a great host and very good at her job. She escorted us to our room (Elizabeth Gray) on route we learned a bit about the building’s history and how things worked at the hotel. The room was fab, huge windows, big comfy bed and antique furniture. Good sized bathroom. We unpacked and sat with a cup of coffee. It’s very quiet, the walls are thick and the only thing we could hear were the bells from the minster which was lovely. We explored a bit and then went for dinner. Dinner was an exotic taster menu, the service was really top notch. My husband and I have never experienced fine dining, and we both enjoyed the anticipation of it all. So much love and effort went into every dish, the standouts for me were the treacle bread, the monkfish (the sauce was unreal) the Venison and the apple desert, I wish I could have it as a large pudding, it’s possible the tastiest thing I’ve eaten and I can’t remember what was in there 😭. The servers knew every detail about the food and were so professional. Another member of staff whose name I don’t know (because I’m useless) curly red hair, was wonderful, so polite and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast staff were lovely, and quickly realised we eat too much toast and kept bringing us top ups. Breakfast was also flawless, my husband commented that it’s the best English breakfast he’s eaten. Overall a really great experience. Well needed escapism from our NHS jobs and parenting a mad (but cute) toddler. We will certainly be back.
