Greeted by very friendly and accommodating staff and led to the patio to have drinks as we were too early for our booked lunch.The place is gorgeous, very well maintained and peaceful. Food were all delicious, the 'good gravy' that went with the Sunday roast was not good. It was great! Will definitely come back ☺️

Wonderful meal, excellent service, beautiful setting. I had contacted the hotel in advance to ask about accessibility, which is so well thought out. Accessible parking spaces just by the side door, bar, restaurant, toilets all on the level. Really can't recommend the hotel enough, go! We will be back
