comfortable bedbasic menuhigh price
the bed had top quality bedding.
The bar food disappointed me. the snack menu was basic and lacked descriptions. i chose the rarebit, but it was just one piece of bread with melted cheese for £7. That is too expensive! it did not even have a garnish.

The dining room decor felt a little underwhelming. The chairs were not very comfortable. The menu had limited descriptions, I think. I wished for more details on the tarte tatin's accompaniments.

check in was very friendly and efficient i found architectural designs and historical items interesting. the recent refurbishment showcased attention to detail i also enjoyed beautiful nearby walks along the river rother.
the bar food was very disappointing i saw a basic snack menu without much temptation so it didn't tempt us to try the restaurant next time.
