Visited here for our girls annual Christmas get together and my friends birthday. There was 8 of us and we had the champagne breakfast, it was amazing. The food was delicious, the service excellent Amelie and Alfie especially gave exceptional service and are a credit to the team that work in the Dovecote restaurant , also visited Spikes bar after for a couple of drinks again great service. May I also add the venue is decorated beautifully for Christmas. A great day thoroughly enjoyed by all of us would definitely recommend to people to pay them a visit.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a wonderful stay at Morley Hayes! The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. I had a problem with my car, and the owner, out of the goodness of his heart, offered to drive me to the mechanic and even to the shop to get some groceries. The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere calm and relaxing – just perfect after a long day. You can really feel that it’s a family-run place where everyone is treated like a guest in their home. The service, the surroundings, and the whole vibe were simply amazing. I’ll definitely be coming back again!
Had an overnight stay with 3 course dinner in the Dovecote restaurant. Everything was perfect from start to finish. We were allocated a beautiful suite (which we weren"t expecting) with balcony and views over the golf course. The meal and service in the Dovecote was really lovely, nothing was rushed. All the staff in the bars and hotel were extremely friendly and helpful. Look forward to staying again.
Only went for a meal in roosters bar. Very busy good idea to book. Great good. Wide choice. Reasonable prices. Great atmosphere. Beautiful surroundings.
For just breakfast, Spike bar is great. Get there before golfers finish their rounds. Dovecote is excellent for a more exquisite meal. Hotel rooms are good with an excellent breakfast
We held my late mother-in-law's wake here on 17th February and were so happy we selected the Pavillion suite to hold her celebration of life in. The room was spacious, clean, looked perfect for the occasion with highly attentive staff who went above and beyond to meet every request that was asked of them. They even supported our requests the day before by moving tables to our preferred locations within the room and enabling us to dress a long table to display photographs; nothing was too much trouble by hard-working staff who had an excellent working attitude and showed a genuine commitment to please. We were greeted by staff at the entrance upon arrival which made us feel both respected on our emotional day and valued for choosing this venue for such a special occasion. The warm food was promptly served in plentiful supply of an impressive selection on offer which was constantly topped up when items ran low. Yes, the costs may seem sonewhat high, but you get what you pay for and in our opinions, it was most definitely money well spent in honour of our Mum's beautiful family and dearest friends. In summary, we were made to feel valued and taken care of, helping ease the stresses of a very difficult day. Thank-you to Morley Hayes and your amazing staff.
We (a group of ladies) had the champagne breakfast at Morley Hayes today which was lovely, the menu choice was varied and delicious, would definitely recommend it, but the service made it even better, from Amelie and Alfie, such lovely, friendly and accommodating people Simon and Morley Hayes should be proud to have such enthusiastic individuals working for them
Had a wake in the Granary. Organisation very good, very flexible and helpful to provide everything we required. Great staff from the catering and bar to the in house taxi driver to take us home. Morley Hayes is a local asset. Definitely recommend. Thanks
