Pleasant enough and would come again. Decent service, staff friendly enough.

We are both vegan but she assured me that the chef was really accommodating and had even com3 out and spoken to her personally on previous occasions. The place wasn't busy so we got menus and asked the waitress about vegan options. She was lovely although seemed a bit inexperienced, and went to f8nd out. She came back and said there were only veggie sausages and a veggie burger (neither of which are actually vegan . We were a bit disappointed but figured it must be a new chef. We then asked about the soup and away the waitress went again and it WAS vegan. We ordered soup and chips. Now all we had to do was get our previously ordered bottle of.prosecco. We waited...and waited...and waited... Eventually my sister went to the bar and the lovely bar guy there apologised and gave us it along with 2 big wine glasses rather than the dai ty flutes the table next to us had it tasted the same so no harm no foul! The food tasted good although they brought soup and then waited for us to finish before bringing our main course of chips! No one came near us for the rest of the meal if they had, they'd have got another bottle of wine out of us but instead we decided to go home. Better staff training needed as they were all lovely but didn't seem to know how to wait on tables (in fact one guy was wandering about with a pint glass of coke and just put it down on the table behind him when he poured wine for a big table! .

Whilst a couple of meals ok, overall a disgrace. £50 and two sore stomachs, not a good day.

In the room for three we only had towels for two. The shower was tiny and floors slanted enough to feel it while sleeping in the single bed. The room was tidy but had no ventilation, couln't even open a window. There was stuffy smell inside.
