Mallory Court is one of the best English country hotels one can stay at. Everything is A++, the staff, the food, the service.
The only reason I rated it a 4* is due to the lack of Air Conditioning. I was on an international business trip and couldn't sleep for 2 nights due to it being so hot, not used to just having a fan. Also, the hot water stopped working one morning and the reactions made it seem just par for the course for the staff.
Now on to the good stuff. The Staff is beyond excellent. Sama in the dining room, Isabel at the Front desk, the porters and many many more people. Service with a smile, went out of their way all the time, simply fantastic.
The hotel itself is beautiful. Open grounds, amazing views, just want you need to relax.
The big surprise was the food. Sencha, the Asian restaurant was a nice surprise. Small-ish portions, but great food. Not one bad dish out of the 2 times we ate there.
Then there was The Dining Room tasting menu. Holy moly, we've eaten at many Michelin starred restaurants before, this was definitely up there. Superb food, I can definitely see it getting a Michelin star if they adjusted their seasoning. And came up with better than Sorbet for a dairy free dessert, my pet peeve.
Also, big shout out to Sama and then team for finding me vegan butter for breakfast. I've never had that happen in a decade!
Amazing trip. Please get some AC and we'd love to visit again!
