Great room, couple issues being on ground floor, had to keep curtains closed as room was right next to staff entrance so people smoking and walking past regularly, also could not leave windows open as there was no way to lock them so someone could climb in. Food was absolutely amazing could not fault waiting on staff.

Nice looking place. staff ok but had to go find them twice. dirty spoon on table. ordered prawn cocktail. was just half an iceberg lettuce and a bag of prawns tipped over. hardly any sauce and the spread on the brown bread was cheap margarine. then a steak that was mostly inedible fat and gristle.no offer of sauces and the peppercorn sauce thin and watery from a packet mix. the salad and mushrooms were delicious. use that salad for your prawn cocktail.!

Had a lovely stay. Nice relaxing bar. Ate in restaurant - we all enjoyed our food. Service good and staff helpful. My main grump would be that there was no heating on during the day and it was quite chilly around the bar. We went to bed and the heating had gone on - way too warm and had to open windows as far as possible! I would stay again.
