Whatley Manor 5 stars

Malmesbury

The Michelin stared restaurant 'The Dining Room' offers chefs experience menu Thursday to Sunday evenings. Grey's, the A la carte restaurant, serves lunch Thursday to Sunday and dinner Wednesday to Sunday. We enjoyed our stay very much. We have stayed 5 times before and will return again. Service in the Bar was very slow in spite of the face that there was hardly anyone there !!. We stayed on a Tuesday night. In the end we trapped up to the bar to place our order (as we were at risk of missing our table slot for dinner if we wanted a pre dinner drink in the bar) as opposed to waiting for table service. We ate this time in Greys. The Menu was a bit limited. The Spatchcock Chicken was a little disappointing. But overall the meal was good. The wine list was a little pricey. We have thoroughly enjoyed the Michelin tasing menu in the past. Service was VERY slow at breakfast which was a little frustrating as we had made the effort to get up EXTRA early as we were on a tight schedule and had allowed PLENTY of time. We gave our order and nothing arrived - the waitress then came up to us and re confirmed our order - it seemed our order had NOT been processed : ( - however we did have a lovely stay - the hotel has lovely facilities - fortunately all the above has not put us off - the room is very comfortable and we will definitely be back. We still love Whatley Manor :)
