Excellent Stay and Carvery

bright roomfriendly staffgluten-free optionswarm shower
I enjoyed the bright room. It was well appointed. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I had a good choice of gluten-free options for dinner, including desserts (often neglected!). The powerful shower was amazingly warm.
The menu in the restaurant felt lacking with some starters unavailable due to a large party the day before.

The carvery featured delicious beef and turkey (a huge selection). I also saw great vegetables. Sophie, Anya and Liv were very efficient in serving guests.

Average Stay with Service Issues

clean roomslow breakfast service
The room was clean and presented well, a relief after a long day.
I had arranged a meal in advance, but upon arrival, the staff denied any knowledge of this arrangement (they said it could not have been told). Breakfast service was slow the next morning, and that impacted my schedule.
