Food poor
Received a warm welcome but the food and drink prices let it down. I had the steak and it was that tough you couldn t chew it(was taken off the bill) breakfast was just ok we asked for 2 poached egg on toast not expecting to have 1 egg on half a round. We ate at the white rabbit the second night and 100% better much more choice lovely ambience and a large wine wasn t over 13 it was 8.
Stay there but eat else and srink elsewhere
Allocated wrong room. Food average.
Paid for a suite given a room instead. Room clean and quiet. Food average had steak pie. Starters brie wedges and pate. Only us and a group in restaurant. Felt overpriced break. Refund for difference between suite and room allocated given after complained to Country Hotel Breaks. Would not return to this hotel.
This hotel is saved by very friendly and helpful staff and its cleanliness.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel and our room were clean. This hotel was tired looking. Breakfast was very good but we had one excellent evening meal and one that was not as good. It would have been better if the heating in our bedroom had been turned on wel before our arrival. The setting for hot water in the shower was very sensitive. As a result we had a cold shower on our first morning, not good for a February morning.
