The staff couldn't have been more lovely to us during our stay. We often needed an early breakfast/ late dinner and they accommodated us without any complaint. We were also appreciative of the head chef who made us special, off the menu vegan meals so we weren't eating the same thing every night during our long stay.

Ha, where can I possibly begin! I'll keep it short; Quality of service, fabulous! Quality of staff & management, hard to beat! Quality of food, very high! Can't explain how good it is, you'll have to go yourself!

Has a lovely Christmas lunch here today. The atmosphere was very relaxed and cozy. The staff were amazing as usual and the food was spot on. 4 courses for 90 plus coffee and mince pies was well worth it.

Went in for afternoon tea after a special service in church. The staff were lovely and the scones were fab. Thank you. Highly recommend to anyone. Even had a gluten free tea without any problems!
