Hipping Hall

What a pity that Hipping Hall is closing this weekend, apparently not making any money which, judging from the occupancy rate, might well be true. However, best wishes and good luck to all the enthusiastic and friendly staff who are losing their jobs this weekend. I do hope that the owner will reflect on why this beautiful place has to close. The food was still very good and they served the best 'full English' I have had for a very long time. Perhaps it was the softer issues like the welcome, the quality of the older rooms in the house, the administration and certainly the attitude that led to the decision to remove the Sunday night special offer for the last few weeks of trading!

A wonderful 2 night stay with incredible food and peaceful surroundings. Such a shame it’s closing. So glad we got to experience this. Everything was perfect and it’s sad to think we can never go again. Both tasting menus each night were faultless.

Very sad that Hipping Hall is closing so we booked one last stay. The food is superb - we had the 4 course meal - and this was our 5th stay in 5 years. We feel this place is very special for us so we're really going to miss it. Best wishes for the future to all the lovely staff.

What a well kept secret this place is: stopped Friday and Saturday on their 2 night tasty offer …….and what surprises me so much was that the dining room had 4 couples in for Friday and 2 for Saturday night……AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHY……the food and wine was wonderful. I’ve eaten in many places, and usually opt for the matching wine route: the meal last night (Friday) was an amazing experience…..and the wines superb. Service from the small team was flawless: Georgina and Robert are stars……engaging, friendly, knowledgeable stars. Rooms are really nice and the gardens are stunning (whoever looks after the gardens is very talented and hard working). I highly recommend this place…..mystified why it isn’t jam packed.

We don't normally do tasting menus and tend to avoid this sort of hotel/ restaurant out of a sense of interested snobbery. We received a generous voucher as a birthday present and went with no particular enthusiasm Am pleased to report that our two days were absolutely excellent, food and staff brilliant and our room was lovely. Not cheap, obviously, but a great experience. Most guests were in the 40 -60 age group ( unsurprisingly) , several with dogs and all were very good company Not the type of break I would do too regularly, but really enjoyable

From the warm welcome from our hostess Georgina, the attentiveness of our sommelier Robert to the divine tasting menu created by Peter & Tom, we experienced a very special lunch recently. Everything was glorious... the surprise little snacks were unexpected, tasty & left us wanting more! the 4 course tasting menu (or 6 if you prefer) offered unexpected & unusual combinations & all were beautifully presented. All in all, Hipping Hall is just as impressive as its sister hotel & Michelin starred Forest Side. Watch this space...😍😍

Fabulous.

The canopy over the bed collapsed. The interim manager had the room above ours and kept us awake until 2am.

A great stay and the food was excellent, a lovely chilled place, I would definitely recommend it
