The food was great, we had dinner and breakfast at the restaurant and everything was really good. We spent a lot of time on the patio off our room, which was beautiful, and walked along the stream/river at the back of the hotel lawn. The staff was pleasant and helpful. We were very happy with our stay.

Our stay was great. The food was good; huge made-to-order breakfast omelette. Only problem was the bathtub needed a bit of scrubbing....there was scum around the sides in the bathtub. Other than that it was great.

Feels like a hotel that may be in decline. The rooms are comfortable and the chef I had produced some very good food, but looking about it seemed like no money had been spent on it for a while and an update is overdue.
