Enjoyed it immensely, good food (if you like fine dine and taster menu) host and staff marvelous, room very good and just a really good atmosphere, most dishes were excellent with one or two a try for the palate and thought provoking (I had to finish off a couple my wife's) but overall! Go on treat yourself We did.

We were celebrating my brothers birthday as a party of six (two vegetarians). Four of the party had eaten here before and enjoyed it. Myself and my husband were first timers. We thoroughly enjoyed all the different experiences of each course. The people who described the food and served us were professional but friendly. The experience could have been intimidating but we all enjoyed the opportunity to indulge in a relaxing atmosphere. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to try something special. It has inspired us to go forth and try more delicious food with confidence in the future.

I had been looking forward to our visit to Morston Hall for a long time and it did not disappoint. On the edge of beautiful national trust coastline we started our stay with a long walk. The room was lovely with all the touches you needed. The bathroom was well appointed (but I'm not sure it needed the TV!). We had drinks to start in the cosy lounge then our dinner in the conservatory, which was a beautiful room.
There was a brilliantly accessible 4 page wine list. A real treat as usually these are too long. Service was helpful. The food was traditional but inventive, using seasonal ingredients. Sourcing seemed responsible with much from the UK but not obviously local ro the area (from the menu). It was a tasting menu and very enjoyable. Highlights were the asparagus and fish courses. The desserts were incredible. Do visit.
