This is a very expensive place to stay, and for the price you expect excellence. And this was very good, but not excellent. Room was showing its age, particularly the bathroom. Bed was uncomfortable. Check in, etc was slightly amateur, food was good, but not excellent. However the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the location is superb, and our weekend was peaceful, which is what we wanted.

The only highlight was the friendly and attentive young lady who greeted us and took care of everything on her own, despite being understaffed. However, the lack of atmosphere, higher prices than advertised on the website, limited menu options, expensive drinks, and added service charge were disappointing factors that ultimately led us to leave without dining. It's a shame as we had been looking forward to our visit.

The first tier had three unappetizing dried finger sandwiches. The second tier had a tiny piece of quiche, a sausage roll, and a small savory roll with lettuce in the middle. The top tier had a rock hard scone, a sad macaroon, a small biscuit, a tiny lemon tartlet, none of which looked appetizing. The jam and cream for the scone were okay, but the accompanying glass of ‘Bubbles’ was like carbonated water. The presentation was poor and it definitely did not feel like value for money. Luckily, the view outside was beautiful.
