Rowley Manor

I had a disappointing experience at Rowley Manor that I won't soon forget. Where do I even begin? The staff seem to be unpaid, refunds are never issued, and the food was served cold and undercooked. We waited an hour in between courses, and everything felt overpriced. The building itself is falling apart. Be cautious of the potholes on the way in, or better yet, avoid Rowley Manor altogether. It's disheartening to see the new owners allow such a beautiful piece of British history and culture to deteriorate while they focus solely on maximizing profits. It seems they’re only interested in quick gains.

Very disappointed, 2 tiny slices of carrot, warm food, no salt or pepper on the table, no offer of cranberry sauce, no one seemed to know who was doing what. Waiting way, way too long for our food.

A fascinating country house, in need of TLC but that doesn't spoil the peaceful feeling you get through out the house and grounds, the staff were really lovely and helpful

Afternoon tea 60th birthday was definitely not as advertised or how there picture on Facebook shows sandwiches were all white bread and as for mix homemade treats definitely not all same diferent colour taste very sweet unable to eat rang with concerns as very disappointed to be told it was logged in complaints book and would here from manager STILL Waiting sent e mail NO REPLY

After we finished our meal and returned to our car, we discovered that someone had smashed the rear window of our Range Rover, leaving glass all over the place! We reported the incident to the hotel, which connected us with the police, and they did provide some help with a quick cleanup of our car. Overall, it was a dreadful and frightening experience. While it’s true that parking is always at the owner's risk, it’s unacceptable for a parking lot to lack any lighting or CCTV cameras to deter thieves. I'm surprised no other customers have had accidents in that dark lot, as it’s difficult to see any obstacles while walking. I would never return and will certainly advise my friends to steer clear of this place.
