I had a lovely afternoon at The Eastbury Hotel, enjoying an impressive afternoon tea in the beautiful back garden. The overall atmosphere of the place is charming, and while the service was mostly good, there were a couple of hiccups during the tasting menu dinner that could be improved. The hotel has unique decor and well-maintained gardens, making it perfect for a tranquil getaway. However, I experienced some minor inconveniences upon arrival with the parking and check-in process.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the charm of the place and the quality of the dining at times were impressive, certain aspects, like room conditions and the service during special occasions left much to be desired. The gardens were a lovely escape but overall, improvements are necessary.
