Very much looking forward to visiting as looked lovely from outside and menu offering looked good. However drinks took a while to arrive and server brought over wine but left it on the table saying she cannot open a corked bottle so someone else will be over. The starter whipped Goats cheese, not whipped at all just a slab of blow torched goats cheese log. Prawn linguine awful pasta overcooked, no flavour in the sauce just like a tin of tomatoes. Steak was poor like it had been frozen prior, watery and bland. It was a special birthday and they offered a free dessert as a birthday treat which is a nice touch but crème brûlée very runny and over powered with lemon was meant to be with shortbread but came with a coconut macaroon? Cost just under £200 and felt really poor value. We then went into the bar for a night cap and the barman spent all night talking to a lady at the bar who left her coat and bag on the only table by the open fire but never used it which I felt was very rude. I don’t usually leave poor reviews however this was a massive disappointment all round and I hope my feedback may encourage the powers above to step in and enforce some well needed improvements.

Booked afternoon tea for my daughter’s birthday Seemed to have defaulted to lunch 🥗🤷🏻‍♀️ To be fair they sorted this out and we waited around 45 minutes so the chef could prepare Food was tasty 😋 The service was slow and we had to keep asking for tea cups, spoons, jam etc We paid the service charge which we didn’t really want to but……. We were 2p short which they made us pay😢 I’ve never sent a negative review but it was poor, and the staff were not attentive or friendly Very disappointed for a supposedly 4 * hotel ☹️

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and I’m truly sorry to hear that your experience did not live up to expectations, especially for your daughter’s birthday. I completely understand your frustration with the lack of attention to detail with the service. It's disappointing to hear that the staff were not as attentive or friendly as they should have been, and I sincerely apologize for that. I also regret the situation with the service charge and the 2p discrepancy—it should not have been an issue, and I’ll ensure that this is addressed with the team to prevent similar occurrences in the future. We truly appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve our service moving forward. I do hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to make things right.

Food was expensive and low quality. Wine was not the vintage shown on the menu and was served basically warm. Service was poor, wine poured all over the table cloth. All in all not good value for money at all.

It’s disappointing to hear that both the quality of the food and service fell short, and I apologize for the issues with the wine and the service you received.

We were residents at the hotel. We received our food & found a hair on the £80 steak. We mentioned the hair at the end of our meal & received complimentary drinks. During our meal we requested drinks. 25 minutes later we still didn’t receive our drinks so we requested again. It took another 10 minutes before we actually received the drinks. Our bill was £150 for two - at these prices we would expect a tad more attention to detail. For the record the restaurant was not busy & we noted that one lone diner left after starters due to the wait time for the main course. When we checked out the next morning the desk staff didn’t mention our experience & no mention of an apology.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and I’m truly sorry to hear that your experience fell short of expectations during your stay. A hair in your meal and long delays with drinks are both unacceptable, and I understand your frustration. The fact that your concerns weren’t properly addressed or acknowledged at check-out is equally disappointing, and I apologize for that oversight. We take attention to detail seriously, and it’s clear we didn’t deliver the level of service you should have received. I will make sure your comments are passed along to both the restaurant and front desk teams so we can improve going forward. Your feedback is valuable, and I hope you will consider giving us another opportunity to make it right on a future visit.
