Excellent hotel & food, poor event staff
Fantastic hotel, great facilities pity about event planning, not well organised, poor communication, staff and kitchen were at logger heads and were unable to deliver the menu agreed. Service was terrible or excellent depending on who was in charge on the day.

Overnight stay in April
Nice hotel but overpriced. Newly refurbed room was very tasteful and comfortable but bathroom was tiny.
Cream tea was overpriced, poor quality cakes.
