Customer Reviews
Shoppers who have tried the Virgin Experience Days afternoon tea have shared mixed feedback. One customer said: "Very tasty enjoyable and relaxing afternoon tea at Mercure hotel Ayr." Another added: "Everything was top quality. Great selection of sandwiches and cakes and of course clotted cream and jam. Great coffee too." A third reviewer wrote: "A delicious tea for two. Everything was outstanding from food to service."
However, one diner noted: "Very nice hotel and setting, however although the sweet side of the offering was nice, the very few savoury sandwiches were poor in comparison." Despite this, the majority of reviews were positive, with one guest commenting: "We thoroughly enjoyed our Afternoon Tea experience at The Fairfield Manor, Mercury Hotel, York. The staff were very helpful and informative. The food was also delicious. Hotel setting was lovely and very tidy. Would definitely go back for another visit."
