“Poor”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 May 2010

Having visited the hotel for dinner before and enjoyed it, I thought I would visit again. As the bar was somewhat full we decided to sit in what I presume was their conservatory area facing the back garden and smoking area. To start we ordered Pate and Mussels then Meatballs and a Sirloin Steak, to which I asked medium rare, pepper sauce, no vegetables or salad, but instead would it be possible to have onion rings, the young girl said yes. After ordering it wasn't until then we realised where we had chosen to eat was buzzing with fly's, wasps, daddy long legs and cobwebs. Regardless of where we were sitting at first glance after receiving our flawless starters pretty speedily I thought we were in for a nice meal, but it turned out nothing overly exciting. The main courses arrived just as quick as the starters but nowhere near as nice. Only one portion of chips arrived for two, an extra portion of onion rings and the portion of pepper sauce which I expected in a separate dish was abandoned all over the steak. Not only that I found it to be overly fatty and tough. The meatballs weren't worth writing home about either. None the less we never created a fuss, and were still hungry so decided on a Fudge Sundae and Chocolate Fondant Pudding for dessert. By this point the bar was empty but somehow took 20 minutes to invent. I never tasted the Fudge Sundae but apparently it was worth the wait, unfortunately the Chocolate Fondant Pudding was dry even though accompanied with ice cream. To top it all off we were overcharged for chips and the few onions rings I asked for to replace what would have been my vegetables/salad. £46 not well spent if you ask me.

The whole hotel needs a complete makeover. Its grubby outdated and neglected. Beware of staff overcharging. CHECK YOUR BILL.

“Unmitigated disaster”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 May 2010

people found this review helpful

Had been to this hotel about 5 years ago so although not staying there we booked a table for dinner. Arrived to find a drunk propping up the bar and swearing in a loud voice. No sign of any manager as the whole place seemed to be being run by about 6 young girls who clearly had no idea how to deal with the man. We told the girl behind the bar that we had a table booked but 20 minutes later nothing had happened. We spoke to a waitress and again said we had a table booked she simply said "Oh thats alright then as long as you have ordered" and turned and walked away ignoring our protests that we were trying to get someone to show us our table and take an order. Neredless to say after waiting 35 minutes we went elsewhere to eat.

“not what i expected”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 March 2010

I will keep this short,went for lunch. toilets clean,bar area is ok,lunch time menu we found to be in our opinion below average.one meal was supposed to be served with noodles (looked like sparghetti). Lasagne was average,side salads where very tired,on a good note desserts where tasty, though served dolloped on small side plates. Sorry to disagree with previous comments but overall i felt the standards did not match what you would expect from a 3* star hotel restaurant.

“Excellent food”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 November 2009

stayed at this hotel with the wife in November this year. biggest asset to this hotel is the chef. her sauces and how she employs them would not be out of place in a 4 star hotel. as to the hotel itself it is what you would expect from a 2 star hotel. We found the room certainally in need of some TLC but it was clean and functional. As with some of the hotels we have stayed in the plumbing was probably the thing that most opened the room up to question! we found the staff warm and friendly and would reccomend this hotel to any one who knows the expectations of a 2 star hotel.
