So disappointing, we booked an afternoon tea - three months ago as we were on a cruise in port for our anniversary. I had always wanted to visit. We were so excited to arrive having read so much about this beautiful historic hotel. We arrived over lunch hoping to have drinks and light lunch, unfortunately we were told, the pool was fully booked, but we could come back at 3pn when tea would be served. The two staff were surprisingly unapologetic and without the tact or kindness to communicate to us with empathy. We asked where we could go and the gentleman suggested The Cliff Bay. Which I am so grateful for, it’s why I was generous with my ‘two star’ review. We then returned at 2.55pm to be ushered out into a lobby and were told to wait. Everyone was taken on to the balcony for tea and we were left, so 15 mins later we left. You pride yourself on your reputation- your manners and communication do need to match. We left and went back to The Cliff who were more than welcoming and valued our custom. Shame on you Reid’s - jolly disappointing.
