A beautiful setting, great atmosphere, the two staff that served us were polite, attentive and made us most welcome. My Sea Bass was perfectly cooked, the Tiger Prawns (for just £7.50! were a good size and perfectly battered! All finished with with a fantastic Rhubarb Crumble. One of my friends had the burger and said it was the best he 'd had in a long time We 've all just finished breakfast, and agree the rooms are stunning, with a view to die for. Breakfast was excellent, bacon and sausages from local butcher were the best! so we 've all booked to come back in 3 months Thank you to the staff for a great stay

False advertising. They were covered in batter to hide their tiny size. They tasted awful. The Chicken Parmigiano was truly pathetic; a piece of dry chicken the size of a baby rat wrapped in Prosciutto. Utterly tasteless. Sack the 'chef’ immediately before they poison someone. Do not dine here; try Pizza Hut or KFC.
