Had a fantastic stay last weekend. Very friendly and welcoming staff, clean/tasteful decor, excellent surroundings and location to boot. Will hopefully be returning soon in the near future.

Visited for a lunch however it was quite disappointing. All the good reviews, but for is it wasn't anything more than average. Ordered the Chicken Liver Parfait as a starter, bread was a bit over toasted, but the parfait was quite good. I also got a Fish and Chips. It's always good to see what a great restaurant can do with a classic dish. This was a disappointment, the Fish was blunt, tasteless, and wasn't sure if the potato supposed to be crispy or not.
The garden peas were the best thing on the plate, clearly good quality ingredient. Staff is super friendly, and Tomos answered the e-mails before hand promptly! Also I realised after we left they charged an extra 1 on the two fish and chips dishes, which is not a lot, but that's not professional to display something and charge a different amount. My fault though I should have pointed it out then and there. Maybe we had a bad day there, the gardens are amazing to walk around, so still would recommend a visit.

What a fantastic hotel and staff! I did not stay the night but spent a whole day here for a business meeting. The building and its ambience is truly wonderful. Each and every member of staff were a credit to the hotel, they were friendly, helpful and very professional. No matter what your request they bent over backwards to satisfy you. Although we only had a sandwich lunch it was beautifully presented. I shall definitely return with my wife to have a leisurely afternoon tea or evening meal. I cannot recommend this hotel enough.
