Slaters Country Inn

My one-night stay was arranged the day before arrival by someone very local to the venue. They chose well. A quiet location (on a Monday night, at least), although I arrived about 10pm and had to leave at 9:30am, so I didn’t get to see much. Had a couple of pints in the bar, but no food as the kitchen had closed. The room was spacious, clean and peaceful, with a comfy bed and a bright en-suite. The breakfast was plentiful, with as much cereal and/or toast as you wished, and a varied hot-meal menu. I didn’t have much interaction with the bar staff in the evening overall, but the morning staff (cleaning crew and breakfast crew) were bright and friendly.

On Sunday we booked a table for 6 as 4 of us were celebrating birthdays very close together, we picked Slaters as we have always enjoyed meals there. Firstly your staff are amazing, nothing is too much trouble for them, however this Sunday the size of the food was not so good. The food tasted amazing as always but we were disappointed with the portions of veg on the Sunday lunch. One slice of carrot, two slices of parsnip, a teaspoon of cabbage and three roast potatoes. Hardly a substantial meal for a Sunday lunch. I had also booked one diner as Vegan and imagined that there would be more than one choice of main course - there wasn't and the vegan meal was not good. The whole party were 'shocked' at the vegetable portions and we will think twice before rebooking. So sorry for this review as you have always been highly rated by us all.

We went for Sunday lunch, the food was ok could have been warmer. The portion size of the Sunday roast was average: only 3 small roast potatoes and only a small amount cabbage. You have to pay extra for mash potatoes. Service needs to improve, not asked if required extra condiments. Would go back but staff training improvements needed.

Very friendly, excellent food comfortable room, would recommend

Great Overnight Stay Absolutely brilliant stay. Staff friendly and efficient, food excellent. Only addition would be another chair in the bedroom please.

The hotel is set in a beautiful location. The room was lovely containing all the amenities and beautiful furnishings. The staff were friendly and helpful.
