Had another fantastic evening celebrating New Year. It was so nice this year to be greeted with a glass of bubbly and the table settings and chairs looked really lovely (the best they have ever looked). Staff as usual were great.

Was being given afternoon tea for a large group of people, which could've been the issue for the staff. Food came out 40 minutes late even after booking beforehand and staff having to count numbers over and over before starting to make the food. Finally came out and we were one whole person serving down of everything. We were told to go around all the tables and "find it ourselves". Staff were so rude about the situation. Then when paying we were giving a foul attitude and complete rudness. Seems they can't handle a large group of people, got too flustered. Never again.

Hotel is lovely, in beautiful grounds. Although we ate inside the restaurant, you could also sit outside in the lovely garden, weather permitting.
Had a cream tea here, food was delicious & plenty of it! Waitress was really friendly, making sure our tea pots were topped up

Disappointed upon arrival when two staff members just carried on discussing hotel business instead of attending to new clients, which was very rude.
Sunday roast - plenty of tender meat, lovely Yorkshire pudding and tasty gravy, but veg all squashed together in dish which got cold very quickly. Vegetarian Wellington pastry was not cooked right through, so inedible, but was not charged for dessert to compensate. Generally breakfasts were super and good variety.
