Highgate House

We were given this 2 day break by my son and daughter in law as they couldn't make a wedding because of covid. We are signed up for their deals now because we were so impressed. First of all,most of the accommodation is in modernish buildings to the rear,not in the impressive stone mansion on the main picture. It is a conference centre not a country hotel. That being said, we were very impressed with 1. the staff, who were without exception friendly and very welcoming .2 The food, beautifully cooked and presented, any alterations to the menu that were asked for were soon sorted out with an eagerness to please that was amazing. My companion being vegan and gluten intolerant was very happy with the variety she was offered (she even had her own personal menu after the first night). We met a couple who stayed on a regular basis because they loved it so much (and they only lived 10 miles away). Because we stayed in the covid epidemic we had the swimming pool to ourselves for an hour, bonus! A couple of niggles, vegi sausages were a bit pale and I didn't like the "jazz" background music. That's the only things I could think of but still 5 stars. Coming back!
