"It went wrong as soon as we walked through the door and the very flustered chap on reception just seemed to go to pieces. Had we booked. He didn't know if they were serving lunches. He just kept repeating that a Chinese tour was coming in later and how would he cope. Everything seemed a bother. This review will come as no surprise to the staff as I spoke at length to the charming manager and he was in complete agreement about the lunch I was served. This was meant to be a lamb and chickpea curry but they'd used belly of lamb so it was a dry bowl of lamb fat with masses of chickpeas. The manager offered to change it but it is a very small menu and had nothing I wanted so I opted for the fish and chips as this was the quickest thing to cook and my husband was halfway through his meal. The fish was ok if slightly greasy but the fries were undercooked. This was accompanied by the most bizarre bowl of florescent green mush which turned out to be inedible, dried out, mashed up garden peas. No staff around so I had to go all round the hotel in search of a waiter. I was offered a bottle of water which I assumed they were giving me then I noticed on the bill they charged £5 for it. In fairness they didn't charge for one of the meals but as it was inedible that seemed reasonable. The views are stunning hence the one star but avoid eating here. This in no way lives up to the McDonalds name."

Great choice, great surroundings, great food. Service very good and breakfast was one of the best we have had in any hotel.

There is a small menu with 3 or 4 options for each course, and a separate dessert menus. The food was delicious, and the service was exceptional View menu

Without a doubt, the food here has the best flavours ever tasted. From the canapés pre-dinner, then all courses, the food is exceptional. All of our party agreed too!

Very cosy with stunning views. Pre-dinner drinks in the drawing room and card games in the library after dinner made this all great fun. Quite pricey for dinner but very good. (Some local pubs have upped their game for less). Breakfast sets one up well for a good day’s exploring.

Everything about the experience was OK, just not exceptional. The food was of a fairly high standard but both my Wife and myself felt it lacked a slight touch of seasoning. The service was fine and the staff were friendly but not quite attentive enough a few times the empty plates and glasses were left a bit too long and there was no offer to re fill wine glasses or provide additional water. I would happily eat there again and the overall experience was a good one but I think a bit of additional training on the 'small things ' would help to take things up a level. View menu

We had a great meal, very well made and tasty. But a musty smell and old fashioned decor really let the experience down.The customers were a range of ages. So I think they would welcome the change. Ham hock starter was great. And the lamb main tip top. Cheese option was great but as usual with most places, not enough crackers/bread. My wife had the soup, chicken and a very rich chocolate dessert which was all delicious!So as stated, great food but poor environment. Also, our waiters forgot three times we were having the full ‘experience’ resulting in us missing courses and having to ask for them!

My husband and myself travelled 35 mins to go out for a meal here as we wanted a nice meal out and we saw on the menu they had beef Wellington and my husband loves it! When we got there there was no beef Wellington on the menu or the tasting menu which was on their site! The manager heard us and we mentioned it to her and she did say that was quite a while ago and that should have been changed, someone else had also mentioned about the tasting menu as well the same night! Being that was why we came she spoke to the head chef and he came out, he said He had some beef fillet and pastry and could do one for us if we could wait half hour and look at the starters he would start it! Which was very...
