The Priory Hotel

My husband and I enjoyed a lovely evening at The Priory. Incredibly attentive, warm and welcoming staff. Nothing too much trouble. The dining experience is exceptional from table presentation to the meal itself and the wines. Lovely comfortable lounge by an open fire for an aperitif before dinner and again for coffee afterwards. It is always a treat to come to the Priory and we could not recommend more highly.

Fantastic Sunday roast, I had the lamb my wife had beef, perfect portion size and tasty trimmings. Decor was lovely and staff were friendly. Pudding delicious especially the caramelised banana element. Be nice to visit in summer and sit out in the beautiful gardens .

Gorgeous setting and beautiful gardens but the food soooo disappointing. Didn't look forward to our dinners at all. Breakfast was quite nice but service in all respects not first class although charming staff.

A truly amazing afternoon with the icing on the cake… The Priory Cream Tea. Warm welcome by such a pleasant lady on reception. We were early as we’d heard the gardens were something not to miss and given we had a beautiful sunny Spring day we took the opportunity to explore. If visiting don’t miss the gardens, clearly the gardening team take enormous pride in their work. The location is adjacent to the River Frome and is just idyllic. After walking the gardens we sat on the terrace before we tea was served. A great spot to relax and unwind. The afternoon tea was served complimented by refreshing tea. We chose Earl Grey and Assam but lots of choice in the John Turner room. A stunning inglenook fireplace is I expect part of the original building. Finger sandwiches were very fresh, tasty and just a little different. Plain and fruit scones (nicely warm) accompanied with very generous portions of delicious strawberry jam and local clotted cream plus a delicious selection of patisserie and an Eton mess treat. Our waiting staff, a young gentleman and lady were courteous, kind and acknowledged we were celebrating a combination birthday and Wedding anniversary. Thank you! What an amazing treat it was to visit such a stunning location, a great hospitality team and superb culinary expertise. Thank you so much for a wonderful visit. We will definitely return and cannot recommend highly enough.

My husband and I went to The Priory for the first time for lunch today and we had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. We were waited on by Christian who was efficient and charming, nothing was too much trouble. The Priory itself was so full of character and history, and the Garden Room was a delightful addition . We loved it and will definitely recommend it.

Went for a celebration lunch for four and service and food were exceptional. Cocktails of highest standard and particular thanks to Cristian and Emily for the service. Pricey but worth every penny for proper service, great ambience and top class food.
