Marvellous building and location, given that i'm surprised that the restaurant was small, cramped and noisy. The sunday luch was excellant but the desserts need some expert attention.

Esme served us and was absolutely fantastic. She was incredibly friendly and bubbly so you almost didn’t notice how efficient she was. We didn’t have to wait or try to catch her eye for a single thing, ordering drinks/food/clearing plates/the bill etc but equally we didn’t feel she was bothering us every 5 minutes! Excellent!!!

We stayed one night for our 10th anniversary based on recommendations from friends. To be honest, it didn’t really meet our expectations based on the feedback from others that have visited previously. We were in a really small room and I had to sit on the steps to do my make up at the mirror as there wasn’t a mirror in the room at a desk and the bathroom ceiling was sloped which meant their was only a small mirror in there. The room lacked light as the small window was floor level. The room was decorated lovely though. We had dinner and breakfast and whilst we were asked twice were we celebrating, we never had anything else to make it special - another friend that just had a meal and didn’t stay had a plate with happy anniversary on it which was lovely. We had to chase for drinks at our meal as they were not checking although the staff were very lovely in their interactions. We couldn’t use the lovely lounge bar due to a wedding and when we wanted a drink at the other bar no one was about so we had to go back down to the restaurant to ask (another couple wished us good luck in getting service for a drink). Earlier the little bar was so busy we were directed to the lobby to have a seat at reception which was not really what I was looking for. We had to pay for the spa area which I was surprised at being an overnight guest totalling £70. This was over £500 stay so really, this was disappointing. I wouldn’t stay if a wedding was on again.

The feedback given here was also discussed with management when we left. The hotel needs to decide how to prioritise guests that are staying at the hotel, as in our opinion unfortunately an event is #1, ‘locals’ coming for the day #2, then guests a distant #3. I think this hotel would be a perfect spa break for midweek and a 5 score. Hotel was so busy that on saturday there was nowhere for guests to sit as bad weather. Food is excellent. Hotel, spa and setting the same. Spa should be free though for residents! Friendly service staff, albeit quite young.

A physically beautiful and comfortable hotel & Spa with friendly and courteous staff but a real lack of Management 'presence'. Complaint re rug trip hazard in bedroom never was dealt with in the 4 nights we were there. Room was not serviced at all on one day. No robe or towel was available on 1 of 2 visits to the Spa - had to fish a robe out of dirty linen basket. Food was tasty but too elaborate - did not recognise veg served with the plaice, which was the only main fish dish, other than a pasta one. Menu never changed. Dining staff were very pleasant but inattentive. No obvious system for feeding back comments direct to the hotel. Not good value for money.

Visited the restaurant for my husband’s birthday. The staff were very helpful with my food intolerances, very informative. The burger was overcooked though, pretty dry, hard and tasteless. I was offered a free dessert, which was delicious! It didn’t feel as good as when we visited last year. Beautiful location and views.

Went for Sunday afternoon tea. Food was brought out quickly and tasted fine, however sandwiches and scones were dry. Drinks order didn't arrive twice and wrong milk was brought to the table. Waiter didn't ask for our tea order and had to be repeatedly flagged down for orders. Not up to the standard of a supposed high end venue. Suspect there's a staffing/ management issue. Would like to give it another try, but won't be recommending.

We went for Sunday lunch as a family, 2 adults, 2 children. Restaurant was very busy. We were told we could have some drinks on the terrace as we were early. We sat out there and it was empty, only for staff to be stood talking, we had to go and ask for menus etc, go and ask again for another drink etc. Staff are quite young and quite unattentive and oblivious to people’s needs it seems. Food was nice, however restaurant is quite cramped, felt like we were out to dinner with the people next to us! Beautiful setting and building, just needs to get the service better in my opinion. We will return and give it another go but I am in no rush…
