Customer Review Summary
Reviewers frequently praise the seabass and attentive breakfast service, with one diner describing a surprise birthday dessert from the chef. Others highlight the grounds and spacious rooms with pond views as ideal for a romantic stay. But recurring complaints weigh heavily: several describe slow service, including one coach party that waited past 8:45 for coffee after a 7pm booking, and another calling the buffet stroganoff bland.

“Ice cream was gritty like sand, service was slow, water was in dirty cups with crumbs in them, employee snapped at my friend's mum. I go to the school round the corner and I often walk past the ice cream shop and it looked good so I went over the halloween holidays with my mum, my friend, and her mum. We got 2 servings of fries, 1 serving of chunky fries, one chicken club with only the chicken and bread, two lemonades, one milkshake, 3 ice creams. Service on fries was quite quick and they were decent, milkshake took a while and was kinda gritty, I got a cup of water from the dispenser and when I drank it, it had crumbs in it. The ice cream was gritty and the employee messed up the order, then snapped at my friend's mum when she corrected her. Overall a bad experience, wouldn't go again.”

“Delicious meal cooked by chef Usef. Seabass was worthy off a Michelin Star! Also a surprise dessert from Usef for my birthday, so thoughtful and made our dinning experience so special. Service from waitress Holly was fabulous! Nothing too much trouble. Breakfast was great, lots of choice and staff attentive. Lovely dinning views especially on a snowy morning. Would highly recommend. Thank you! Sandy & Steve”

“This is for their Gallery Restaurant. Service was very slow and it wasn't busy. The waitress took the order incorrrectly. I don't appreciate crisps as a side, very lazy. Pickled beetroot was very tasty but it was more 95% rocket with small bits of beetroot. Wouldn't return”
