I have just returned from an overnight stay at Great Fosters with my girlfriend. What a wonderful place. We have stayed at numerous 'quality' hotels on overnight breaks previously and this rates with the best of them! Upon our arrival the service was fantastic ( thats everyone from reception to bar and waiting staff) and the main building had a... More

We were treated to a wonderful Christmas gift by way of a nights stay at Great Fosters by my parents as soon as we walked through the tiny historical door we were greeted by roaring fires and welcoming staff, definitely the warmest welcome we have ever experienced at a hotel. We were offerred an upgrade to the Queen Anne suite... More

Stayed here for one night on a travelzoo offer. The building is very historical and it was lovely to relax by one of their many open fires as outside it was very cold and snowy. Staff were exceptionally friendly and professional. We had a cream tea in the afternoon of our arrival which was delicious lovely choice of teas and... More

My husband and I stayed here for one night (Luxury for Less Deal). I have to say, from the minute we walked (crouched) through that wee door at the front of the house until the time we left was absolutely superb! We stayed in Panel Room 1, which was decorated with hand painted wallpaper. The bed was huge and very... More

I have not been lucky enough to stay overnight here yet but have lunched twice in the restaurant. Whilst I love Great Fosters and will definitely return I must agree with the comments made in Tony B's review about the portion sizes - despite Cathy Nolan, the restaurant manager stating on 18th January that she would take it up with...

Great Fosters is a magnificent piece of history which just feels incredibly special from the moment you pull up outside. When you're inside, the staff make you feel just as special! I stayed here with my husband, work colleague and her partner and we had an incredible time. The service is just amazing and the food to die for. We... More

Having written a review following our New Year's eve dinner here which was slightly mixed, owing to a muddle over the service charge. I am delighted to say that the whole matter was sorted out in a friendly and professional manner- the advantages of Trip Advisor! So am re-writing to say that the service was excellent, the food wonderful (and... More

Visited for family lunch on New Year Bank holiday. Having safely negotiated the tiny front door we found a very pleasant bar down a long narrow corridor. Hotel lacks any large central Drawing Room, there seemed to be a series of small lounges off the corridor. Limited choice set menu which consisted of almost everything described as ‘slow cooked’ (but... More

My wife and I plus eight other couples stayed at the hotel to celebrate an important birthday. The hotel itself and the accomodation were totally excellent, however, those two items alone do not make a memorable stay. It is all the other small but significant points that make the stay something to remember. Everyone fom Chris, who organised everything through... More
