"I would have given The Priory five stars if it weren't for the disconcerting lack of a reception. Upon arriving at this charming house in a beautiful setting, we were unsure of what to do. Thankfully, some guests in the lounge informed us that a member of staff would be with us shortly. The service we received from a friendly and attentive young woman was delightful. The set menu offered a good selection of dishes, all of which were of top quality. The amuse bouche at the beginning was a nice touch, and the presentation and taste of the food were excellent. The service was quick but not rushed, and the portion sizes were generous but not overwhelming. We were able to comfortably enjoy three courses and coffee without feeling overly full. After dinner, we enjoyed coffee in the cozy lounge. The only downside was the lack of an obvious reception area when it came time to pay our bill. We had to locate a discreet bell to summon someone to take our payment. Clearer signage for the bell would easily resolve this issue. Despite this small inconvenience, we had a wonderful evening and have already recommended The Priory to friends. We look forward to returning in the future."
