Probably built as a Royal Hunting lodge & very much a stately home since the 16th century, Great Fosters is now a hotel, awarded 5 stars by the AA in December 2022. Set in 50 acres of gardens & parkland, the hotel is a Grade One listed building blessed with the grandeur of 16th century England & luxurious facilities. Its past is evident in the mullioned windows, chimneys & fireplaces, while the Saxon moat, crossed by a Japanese bridge, surrounds three sides of a formal garden. The 56 bedrooms are individually decorated. Rooms in the Main House are adorned with tapestries & antiques, while the bedrooms in The Cloisters & Coach House are more contemporary. The hotel has two restaurants - The Estate Grill holds 2 AA rosettes & serves a simple seasonal menu with many dishes using produce grown on the estate. The Tudor Pass, headed up by Executive Chef Alex Payne offers a tasting menu & is an intimate restaurant open for lunch & dinner Wednesday - Saturday. The summer months bring dining al fresco and the hotel has plenty of terraces on which to enjoy afternoon tea, lunch or supper whilst overlooking beautiful gardens. Great Fosters has heated outdoor pool (open April - October) complete with 1930s listed bathing huts and three treatment rooms.

Dropped by for a snack and coffee in the bar. Excellent food and service. Looked after well by bar manager Tony. We will be back soon to enjoy the venue and service again soon. Nothing more really to say. Just that trip advisor wants me to write a minimum of 200 words which is really absurd when you can describe something good in 3 words. Thank you once again.

Considering the very high price of the afternoon tea for Mother's Day, I thought it was ridiculous that they wanted to charge extra for my wife to have a hot chocolate, or for me to have a single flat white instead of an entire pot of coffee. We have been to many afternoon teas, and no matter how much they actual teas cost, we've never been charged extra for a hot chocolate. The food was fine, but definitely worth the £60 per head asking price. As a comparison - it's £70 per head for an afternoon tea at the Ritz, and at least there you can get a hot chocolate included, plus they restock your food if you're still hungry!

Had the best evening at Great Fosters. We came for my mother's 80th birthday, we had dinner in the estate grill. Our waiter Freddie was excellent, gave my mother a glass of wine as it was her birthday. Made sure everything was OK during our stay. At the end of the evening, he made sure we all enjoyed ourselves and wouldn't accept a tip. Freddie deserves an award for his hospitality 5 stars. Will definitely return

My husband and I were invited for an afternoon tea at Great Fosters, a place where I had previously enjoyed an excellent afternoon tea prior to be taken over by Alexander Hotels. We were looking forward to and expecting a very similar experience, however we were sorely mistaken. Although the staff were friendly and the ambience lovely the food, however the rest was a dsappointment in comparsion with our last visit. This included extremely slow service 15-20 minute wait for a couple of things including the bill; no offer of more sandwiches; not enough cutlery which meant wiping our our sandwich knives before use on the scones and cakes and a spoon too big to reach the bottom of the trifle in a shot glass. The scones were dark brown and overcooked and after our request for more, were replaced after a 15 minute wait with scones if anything even worse although it was obvious that the scones on the other tables were the usual pale golden colour. We were provided with 1 tiny pot of cream and 1 of very bland red jam for 6 scones and after requesting more they eventually came after a very long wait. After a complaint about all of this the Manager offered all 3 of us a complimentary glass of champagne, however as I was the only driver only I could take up this offer despite me saying that if there was anything more appropriate for the drivers then that was fine, but nothing else was offered instead. In the end after a 15 minute wait we had to ask where it was and it eventually came. Once we had finished we had to wait for the bill and again after 15 minutes had to ask where it was. Finally we were expecting a walk around the gardens as before and after asking 2 members of staff how to get outside who had no idea and then trying to find our own way by going back out of the building. It appears that this is now not possible and I can only assume it is for the exclusive hotel guests. Altogether a very disappointing experience all round and definitely not up to the standard you would expect from such a place. I was fortunate as I did not have to pay as it was a birthday gift for my sister in law and I was her guest. However she kindly paid for my husband and for that I do feel that she has been sadly let down. She is in the process of making a complaint to the management which unfortunately is definitely needed and I do hope that things improve markedly before the Mother's Day weekend! …

Dear jilleH9396FZ, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review following your recent visit for Afternoon Tea. We are saddened to hear that there were some areas of disappointment during your time with us. The service and food quality described certainly does not match that which we aim for nor pride ourselves on, so for this we sincerely apologise. Your comments have been shared with both our Restaurant manager and our Head Chef, for them to review and address with the team members concerned. With regards to the gardens, these are still open to the public to walk around whether they are staying with us, visiting for a meal or just coming for a walk. So it is disappointing to hear that some of our team were unable to assist you in accessing this. Thank you for choosing to visit us to celebrate your special occasion, we apologise again that the were some shortcomings on our part and we do hope we will be able to welcome you back to Great Fosters again in the near future. Kind regards The Great Fosters Team

We booked lunch for 7 people and were very pleased to get a private room for our party! It was certainly a very nice gesture. We opted for set menu 3 courses for £45 or 2 for £37. The food was wonderful. Beef roast dinner was huge with all vegetables and Yorkshire pudding! I had scotch egg and Cornish cod. We also had cocktails pre dinner and vice in the nice bar. The gardens must be stunning in the summer. It was a bit quiet this weekend as out of season
