  : Breakfast was excellent.Staff were superb.
  : Dinner menu far too fussy, not enough choice and portions were absolutely minute in size.There is fine dining and then there is too much fluff and pretence.We were bombarded with nibbles before , during and after the meal that we did not order, but obviously these would have taken ages to prepare. What`s the point if the diner doesn`t want an unordered artichoke soup, eel filled cone, cheese profiteroll ,venison morsel , pineapple sorbet or does not eat chicken liver pate.Would be better to concentrate on the main element of the meal with bigger portions. On Saturday night we had to wait one and a half hours for our ordered food and there were only 19No. diners in the room all night.We were not the only ones dissatisfied. We spoke to an American couple on the Friday night and they were so disappointed with the menu they ate elsewhere on the Saturday. so that`s at least two dissatisfied couples.

  : it’s a lovely hotel, very traditional and cosy atmosphere
  : rooms are quite outdated, also our room was full of black bugs in the bathroom and on the carpets which I don’t find acceptable if hotel charges £400 per night.
