Super gross and a huge letdown at 95 per head is disgusting. Everything tasted and looked frozen sidelined with an awkward and unprofessional dining service in a restaurant with no atmosphere. Our vegetarian christmas dinners actually look like something bought frozen from Gregg's.

Shower in room took forever to work, rang reception twice, just told 'everyone has trouble with that shower, just keep trying'. No TV remote, reception said 'should be one, nothing they can do about it now' Food was luke warm and the only veg was three rock hard sprouts and half a carrot. Had our meal, was then told we had to go back outside (luckily it wasn't raining) and queue outside in the freezing cold, to get into the ballroom, when there was clearly a set of double doors through from the dining room/bar into the dance and stage area. However staff in general were very nice, venue is beautiful, band was amazing.

Accommodation was not to bad however very disappointed with the actual service received while there. A prime example is as follows: Had a booked appointment for breakfast, we're the food was even pre ordered to accumulate our time frame, however food arrived 45 minutes late and the taste of the food was pre heated/cooked at the best. After patiently waiting to find a staff member to try and find out what's going on and why the delay, nobody seemed to answer our question and just left us to wait.
Also a point to note is the WiFi coverage was really poor, however this is understandable for the area we was in. This review has been left on behalf of my parents who visited this site last weekend.
