Great Fosters

A beautiful escape on the edge of suburbia - but where you can shut out the noise and pretend you are living in Tudor countryside. We managed a brief visit to the exquisite grounds - I can imagine this is a much sought after place for weddings. An on line search brought it to our attention whilst looking for a Michelin starred restaurant in the area and I’m so glad we chose to stay there. I think we were given a room upgrade but it wasn’t mentioned. If not then the room was lovely, plenty of space, comfortable bed and all the extras you would expect. Breaking the grill was very good too, although too big for my appetite. Nothing was too much trouble. Cocktails before dinner felt decadent as we looked out over a fabulous Japanese bridge. The dinner in the Tudor Pass was divine and I’d like to give that a separate mention. All in all it was a memorable stay…in a good way.

We visited Great Fosters for an all day meeting this week and we had a really good experience. Alyssa, who was helping with the organisation of the day was really helpful and organised the day to run extremely smoothly, which it did. The staff on the day were also very helpful and attentive and the venue is lovely. We were in The Clarence Suite which is bright and airy, and has easy access to their courtyard, which was perfect for the sunny weather we had! We will definitely be going back again.

...booked Sunday lunch in the grill room for my husbands special birthday. Disappointed that no reference to it was made during the meal which should be standard procedure in a restaurant such as yours. The meal was lovely but the fact that we had to pay £7 for bread made it feel over priced. It's the little things that contribute to a memorable dinning experience and the tired decor does not help. Staff were very polite and courteous but had to ask who was having what and it took three attempts to get the bill right which was annoying bearing in mind there were only four other tables. Overall left feeling a little short changed...

Great stay, spacious and luxury room. Room was well kept and clean. Food came quickly and was to good standard. Check in was easy and fast, and checking out and paying for the bill was standard , were no issues whatsoever. I would highly recommend

Great accommodation and service throughout in a beautifully historic property. Nice room and nice en-suite, spacious and a good shower etc. Everywhere is very clean and tidy. Food in the bar was excellent, as was the service. Very polite and attentive. For breakfast the choice is good. The yoghurts, fruit, pastries etc are very good indeed. I’m not convinced the orange was fresh and the waiter confirmed. My poached eggs were on the underdone side. Last time I stayed at Great Fosters three months previous, I had the scrambled eggs…which were like rubber (no exaggeration). This tells me that the egg chef isn’t as great as the rest of the hotel! Car park needs flood lights and less potholes!
