From the moment Myself and my colleagues arrived at the abbots brea hotel we knew we were in for a real treat, the surroundings are lovely, we actually saw a deer as we travelled up the winding driveway, the building is a pleasure on the eye, classic, warm and very inviting. We met Colin who is a lovely guy, great host, and who also makes quite stunning food!
In our stay i must say that we were very well looked after. Christine his wife was also very welcoming, and is a fantastic host. I am sure that if something wasn't to our taste everything would have been done to rectify this (not that there was an opportunity for this to happen).
Our room was lovely, very clean and with stunning views of the bay, both sunrise and sunset were a joy to behold, the bed very comfortable, the bathroom was to a very high standard, also we has a flat screen hdtv with free view, with dvd player (a wide collection of dvd's were available to use from Colin and Christine).
Ok now the food, quite simply WOW! Being there for almost two weeks I had a chance to try alot of the dishes, these included fillet steak, beef curry, duckling, minted lamb, a stunning chicken and ham pie, all came with a good helping of fresh veg and were fantastic, made from local fresh ingredients, and you could tell! my diet went right out the window!
The starters were imaginative, and a fantastic appetiser, the sweets were also lovely, my personal favourite was the sticky toffie pudding, yum, also local cheese and biscuits were available, all fresh and Colin knew where all of these were from, very nice!
all in all i would recommend the Abbots Brea very highly, and i will certainly be returning again, not for business, but definitely for pleasure.
