We were gifted a champagne afternoon tea and although we had difficulty getting through on the phone to the Hyll Hotel, Charingworth, Chipping Campden (formerly Charingworth Manor), but we were able to book in on line without any problems and realise the phone issue may have been something to do with the recent renovation work?
On our arrival we were greeted at reception by a lovely young lady who took us through to the dining area which appears to have been recently updated but is very tastefully decorated, tables are not too close together and chairs very comfortable. We apologised, as we had forgotten to bring the gift voucher (realised as we were parking the car!) but they were able to find the reference number from the original booking and nothing seemed too much trouble. The afternoon tea was absolutely delicious albeit very filling. The young gentleman who served us, offered to box up the remaining cakes and, although unexpected and not something we often do, we didn’t want to miss out on the delicious looking cakes, so gratefully accepted - he was very attentive without being invasive and at the end of our tea, he chatted with us for a while and we must commend him on his professionalism and politeness throughout the afternoon. We enjoyed the tea so much, we intend to return to have a Sunday lunch or dinner as we are sure the chef won’t disappoint. We would highly recommend a visit and our compliments to all the staff we met and we look forward to our return visit.
