   We visited Vavasour as part of our spa package at Hazlewood Castle which included a 2 course meal. We shared brie for starter and for mains we had chicken supreme and belly pork. We shared sticky Toffee Pudding for dessert which we had with custard instead of ice cream. Food excellent, service excellent, nothing took too long, atmosphere just right, background music and not too much chatter noise.

   While staying at Hazelwood Castle (see separate review), we visited this restaurant for breakfast each morning and for dinner one evening. The first impression of the restaurant was not great. It doesn't match the expectations that should be associated with a supposedly 4-star hotel. The appearance is of a cafe with bare tables and no tablecloths. The tables were too small, especially for breakfast. We found that there wasn't enough room for all of the plates, cups, tea and coffee pots, etc. This wasn't helped by the staff not clearing away used plates. Breakfast. The breakfast was a mix of self-service and table service. In my opinion, this does not really work and is not in keeping with this type of establishment. Even the most basic café will make toast and provide it with your breakfast. Here, you have to make your own. The cooked breakfast was good and was freshly cooked and, therefore, hot. Dinner. The evening dinner experience was better than the breakfast experience, although they still used the same small tables with no tablecloths. It was a set menu with various add-on charges for some options. The food was pretty good, as was the service.

   I’m afraid I wouldn’t recommend. It’s just not worth the money. (Eg £30 for a small tuna steak with nothing special accompanying it) None of us particularly enjoyed our main courses. Starters were nothing particularly special. Christmas cheesy classic hits playing on a loop of just 5 songs over and over and over too which was irritating - not what you expect from a restaurant at these prices. I won’t be going out of my way to go back I’m afraid. It’s not a convenient place to get to so you have to drive. As evidenced really by the fact there was only us and one other table in there on Christmas week

   Unfortunately our afternoon tea missed the mark. We were escorted through to a beautiful but cold room (there was a fire on but it had fizzled out as we arrived) which, for the first 15 mins, was empty except for a couple having a wedding consultation. We received our tea but it took 45 minutes for our afternoon tea to arrive (we asked about it after 20 minutes and were told it was on its way, then another 15 minutes later were told unfortunately it had actually been ordered downstairs incorrectly so they were still making it). We asked for one to be nut free for allergy reasons but there were flaked almonds on top of one of the cakes. There were a couple behind us who were also forgotten about in similar fashion. The staff were friendly and apologetic and refreshed our drinks but it just seemed poorly organised and for the quality of the food and lack of ambience it was not worth the £27 per person.

   This amazing venue and staff hosted our wedding in their woodland tipi venue yesterday. We had so many comments on how amazing the venue was and we cannot thank the staff enough. Nothing was too much. Everything was done for me and I could Relax and have the chilled morning getting ready that I really wanted. Thank you all from bottom of our hearts! X

   Totally roarsome was an interesting attraction for the family. It was extremely muddy, and I would definitely recommend a change of clothes for little ones and a change of footwear for everyone for the journey home. It took us around an hour to walk around the woodland path. We found that there was no water available in the toilets for handwashing, slightly concerning during a pandemic, plenty of sanitiser though, which is good if you can keep your hands clean.
