Was there for dinner and had choices from the special menu which is available Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Vegetarian options which are also gluten free were provided. The service was excellent, food, options and portion sizes were also very good. Surroundings are beautiful and the dining room was just right for a summer's evening. Some people were enjoying the evening at outside seating. Based on this visit I would have no problem in recommending this establishment.

Was at the hotel for a function so can't rate the rooms. Beautifully maintained gardens on approach and plenty of parking. Central location but no road noise from passing traffic as set back from the road. Staff very pleasant and highly efficient.

I am writing a review because my confidential message to the hotel has been ignored. We were a Party of 7 and came for an anniversary dinner earlier this month. After perusing the menu and seeing that all mains could be served as a small portion apart from steak, two of our elderly party opted for the beef main as a smaller portion, but were told this was not possible as a slice of beef is a slice of beef!
The waiter himself was quite rude. The food was delicious and can't be faulted as was one of the waiters. The head waiter started to deliver our sweets and as some of our party are deaf and didn't hear him, or understand him with an accent behind a mask, were late in indicating it was their sweet, he actually rolled his eyes and huffed. It was my anniversary and I was so excited to dine at the hotel especially as my father had travelled up from Kent but this service did not ruin our evening but it did tarnish it, and to be ignored when I have messaged the hotel via their website is quite frankly rude.

Charming 200 years hotel. With wooden panels and classy service. Rooms and bathroom are spacious. The only thing that needs to be corrected is parking, put some logs to separate parking spaces. Some drivers are absolutely disrespectful. All the rest is good. Dogs friendly.
