Nice Hotel Poor Food

Cannot fault hotel on any aspect except food.. We booked Sunday Lunch , Ordered Turkey & Ham with no stuffing. It appeared to have been vacumed packed meal with the stuffing scraped out of it but not completely. very poor selection of veg. Disappointing to think that a chef would serve this type of food. Breakfast was luke warm at most, eggs missing and rashers rubbery. Stands with trays on left in middle of floor for anyone to fall over.

Highly recommended

Great stay overall. Breakfast excellent, bar food great, facilities excellent. Only negative was the heating in my room was not working meaning it was extremely cold overnight. Reported to reception when I checked out. Other than this I can highly recommend this hotel. This was my 3rd stay and will hopefully be back again soon
