An excellent comfortable hotel let down by a disappointing restaurant experience, dinner & breakfast
Two AA Rosettes led us to expect a high standard of cuisine with matching service. Previous experience of the hotel had given us just that. However on this occasion we were most disappointed. The hotel conceded they were experiencing staffing difficulties in common with much of the current hospitality industry.
The bedrooms we were given were of excellent quality. The comfort and luxury of the hotel facilities were as anticipated, and indeed in line with our past experience.
The restaurant offering and to some extent the service left a lot to be desired.
Disappointed, expected a better experience
First impressions were excellent. We were upgraded to a beautiful four poster room. At the time we didn t realise that we didn t have a shower, just a bath so it was a bit of a surprise when we realised.
We had to ask for our bottle of wine which should have been in the room on arrival, which was a bit awkward and shouldn t have been necessary. Staff were all very helpful, especially reception staff.
Excellent breakfast, but dinner on second evening was appalling. We had fish and chips which would have been a suitable size for a child. One tiny piece was fish was apparently portion controlled and was 30% batter! We complained and were not charged for it but the hotel need to up their standards.

Good facilities, but in it's service and food somewhat lacking.
