"The stay was comfortable and the gardens lovely. The drinks and barstaff great, reception great and friendly with advice on sight seeing.
The room was comfortable and clean. There was a broken window pane and the furnishings were dated.
Bed comfortable.
The food was disappointing. I had a seafood chowder which was pretty good and the fish tasted fresh. the main was a steak that looked pale and was not cooked with lots of fat and gristle, the vegetables were overcooked. The desert tasted OK but was again a victim of being left under a heat lamp for too long.
My colleague had salmon and vegetables. Again overcooked and vegetables soggy and drained of colour, salmon was dry.
Breakfast was again a victim of being overcooked and scorched under a heat lamp.
Food overall disappointing for a hotel known for its fine cuisine.
Location is wonderful."
