Hotel Review
From the moment you turn in to the landscaped gravel drive of this stylish modern hotel and your car and luggage are whisked away by a friendly welcoming member of staff, you immediately get the vibe of what they do here. The raison d'etre here is to completely focus on you, the guest, and ensure that you have a fantastic time in luxurious comfortable surroundings with the very best food and wines on offer. Owned by Sir Peter Michael, founder and chairman of Classic FM, who also owns the Peter Michael Winery in California, the emphasis here is on fabulous wine and food. Chef Tom Scade specialises in classic cuisine with a modern twist. His tasting menu is an absolute must! Each course is accompanied by a special wine chosen by the head Sommelier and both the food and wine are introduced to the table by hugely knowledgeable staff. Originally a 19th century hunting lodge, The Vineyard now offers 49 individually-named rooms and suites. For a real treat book one of the Grand Suites – Mon Plaisir and La Carriere - which offer a stylish combination of four-poster beds, elegant bathrooms and spacious sitting rooms. The Vineyard Spa is the perfect place for a spot of pre-dinner pampering - lounge by the pool, relax in the hot tub or enjoy a special treatment. A trip to the Vineyard is a serious treat and following a visit you'll find yourself engineering another special occasion as an excuse to return! It's not cheap but the extraordinary service from the top notch staff, respresent money well spent!
