Dreadful Customer service - Used to be good but they now take wedding bookings above everything else - and is so faceless and corporate !! and block the rest of us !! - I guess you can only stay here on a week day -Awful !! They will learn that when the Covid 19 knock on effect is finally over and they don't have the same demand for block booking weddings - they will be in trouble as they wont have the loyal repeat business from past customers.
and they think this is the way forwards ! In 3 years time this place will be gone ! They haven't a clue about how to run a proper business
They can

The car park is a good walk from the main building, expect to pay 5 for a small bottle of beer, the staff are friendly and helpful. The food was excellent and well presented. I would definitely recommend going here.

A lovely afternoon tea, everything was very fresh, the scones were still warm. The leaf tea was delicious a fabulous blend.
Loved the serenity of the room, the sun was shining which enhanced the atmosphere. The waitress was very attentive and polite. We would definitely recommend the afternoon tea with prosecco.
