St Michael's Manor Hotel - St Albans

We came with a group of friends to lunch. First time for a few years. Last time a wedding event. Easy parking and the elegance of the building and locality are always in its favour. The event was a great success. The food was good. The service was pretty good. They had set up the place names and menu choices and that could have been a bit smoother - getting dishes to right places. But it was all very tasty and that’s the true test. A tad small on portion size for some but my wife thought them just right. Would happily return.

We had 2 nights here to get away for a couple of days. The hotel is really lovely, in a beautiful setting beside the lake. It is tranquil and quiet which is just what we wanted. Room was nice , everything as expected. We ate in the hotel restaurant and had a lovely meal. We wanted to eat in the restaurant both evenings ,however, there was an event going on the second night so couldn't go in the restaurant so were forced to go out. We could have had a table in a side room but didn't fancy eating on our own! The hotel did telephone us a few days before to let us know about the event and asked if we wanted to join it but we declined. We just wanted to have a calm, quiet evening. Any event, wedding etc is held in the restaurant. Overall, a lovely place and would recommend to anyone but if you want to eat in the restaurant I would say to telephone them 3 days before to check if any event is being held in the restaurant ad you could then change your booking date if you are flexible with dates. Which is what we will do when we come again. We will come agin soon

Beautiful setting, very tranquil even though central town location Staff were very friendly and service excellent, attentive whilst remaining in the background. Food delicious and beautifully served. We enjoyed a family midweek lunch at St Michael’s Manor, and coffee in the lounge area overlooking the lawn.

We ate in the restaurant and the food, service, atmosphere and surroundings were as always superb. We have been before and actually held big birthday celebrations here a few months ago last September I can not recommend it highly enough. If you want to make small alterations to an item on their delicious menu, the chef is always accommodating.

Adam smith made us feel at home. Approach able, amenable and super friendly. What a superstar, exactly the type of person a hotel should be proud to employ. Great night at the Fawlty towers dinner experience. Not only was that great, Adam made it extra special for being superb at his job. Thank you for a fab evening

Lovely lunch, had the set menu which was exceptional value for money. Had a lovely table, overlooking the lake so such a pretty setting. Our server Hepy was very sweet and took great care of us. I’d very much recommend it for a couple’s lunch and there were tables in having afternoon tea which looked delicious!
