Description

Nestled in picturesque surroundings, this hotel offers a blend of charm and comfort. Guests have praised the hospitality and cleanliness, immersing themselves in the serene atmosphere while enjoying hearty meals. The breakfast buffet is particularly lauded for its diverse offerings, while the à la carte dinner impresses with freshly prepared dishes. However, service consistency is an issue, with some reporting delays and a lack of attention during busy periods. Afternoon tea experiences varied widely, with complaints about stale scones and inadequate gluten-free options. Overall, the hotel boasts a stunning locale and good food, but improvement in customer service is essential.

The dinner was satisfactory, but the breakfast offered a decent selection of hot dishes. However, there were no rolls or croissants, and no cold meats or cheeses.

The location is lovely, especially on a sunny day. However, the decor feels quite outdated, and the food is just average. The staff is very friendly, but don’t expect a gourmet experience. Unfortunately, they also don’t seem to serve Earl Grey tea. While it’s quite a distance from other places, that’s not necessarily a downside. It’s a great stop if you’re heading further north.

I can't find anything to criticize. The atmosphere is comfortable, the food is great, and the service is exceptional. The hospitality feels traditional and welcoming. There's even a sanctuary for red squirrels! It's located away from the road, so it’s quiet, and there's ample parking available. The breakfast buffet is impressive, featuring fruit, yogurt, juices, and a wide selection of hot items, including deliciously soft fried eggs. The à la carte dinner is outstanding, with freshly cooked meats and vegetables. Don't waste your time searching elsewhere—just stay here!

The staff at this hotel have not got a clue about gluten free food , they have3 or 4 items on their menu stating that they are gluten free and they most certainly were not . Any one that is a coeliac please be aware of this , they don’t know anything about cross contamination or what is gluten free and what is not . If you are staying at this hotel and you need gluten free food keep on asking questions and looking out for their mistakes that could leave you feeling ill .
