Brook Marston Farm Hotel

I was given a £50 gift voucher for afternoon tea for two. What a disappointment Marston farm hotel was. Not even a full sandwich each. 1 quarter cheap thin ham. 1 quarter a very small amount of egg mayo. 1 quarter tuna mayo. Pork pie was cheap and no taste to it. Carrot cake was sawdust. Two scones that looked like they had been scrapped off the bottom of a very dirty oven. Definitely no where near £50 worth of food or surroundings. Room was empty apart from me and my sister. No background music. No atmosphere. Old curtains all torn and ragged. Only one ladies loo and it was at the top of a very steep flight of stairs. Corridors with old carpet. Place needs a complete overhaul. Smelling very old and musty. The hotel is at the end of a long driveway with very poor signage. If you’re thinking of going for afternoon tea don’t bother. Spend your money somewhere else

Lovely afternoon tea. Staff were very helpful when my mum and dad couldn’t walk far and took us a shortcut to the restaurant. Plenty of tea in cute crockery, copious top ups of tea. Lovely cakes and scones. Staff were great when my Dad felt a bit funny in the heat. Thanks for your kindness. Will definitely return.

Fantastic setting in beautiful countryside setting. Ample parking. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Lovely tea room, quirky and traditional. Superb friendly staff. Ample tea and coffee, refilled throughout experience. Not rushed at all. Fabulous selection of food. Superb scones with amazing clotted cream and individual pots of jam. 3 additional slices of cake each. Gorgeous brownie and other traditional cakes. Two ham rolls, two cheese and onion and two egg sandwiches, all on different types of bread. Side salad too. Brilliant staff member, very friendly, lovely atmosphere. Place is being renovated by new owners at present so can't wait to see how it looks later in the year. Will definitely be back
