Just stayed at Alveston Hall for second time since 2019 this is a lovely hotel food is excellent although did notice drop in portion size our rooms in fairview were excellent the entertainment staff are first class excellent soul night couldn't top their entertainment staff. Now for the Negatives Firstly complaint we have is this business of having to put everything you do on your room card awful idea you get a shock at the end spoils the holiday we were told any drinks had to go on the room card but at the end were told we could have paid by card each time. People SHOULD be given the option will not be doing that again even asking for receipts which 9 times out of 10 you never got so couldn't keep track when we mentioned this at the end we were told power's that be want it this way well the powers of be should lusten to what their customers want and lots of orople as did we wanted the option to be offered to us not given a fae accompli.Secondly the Two ladies in the Barn bar deserve a medal they ran the bar the food all by themselves they should be given more staff to help them not fair on them Apart from this excellent stay
