I attend meetings here regularly and I have learned that the food here is better for groups than in the bar.

The hotel itself is cosy and has, perhaps, the best seasonal decorations of any hotel I have visited. The conference facilities are excellent with reliable wifi etc.

My family and I ate in the bar recently and had a mixed experience. It took quite a while to get served although there were plenty of staff. When we did get an order in we waited quite a while to have it brought to our table. The order included a stroganoff (which I would assume was prepared earlier), fish and nuggets etc.

I recieved my stroganoff after a wait of about twenty minutes only to have to return it as it was cold. When it re-emerged it was only a little warmer and there seemed to be less food on the plate. It was almost 17 and I don't believe the portion I received was worth that.

The fish dish was lovely so no complaints there and the kids gobbled up their meals.

The rooms are lovely and well serviced and the breakfast is as you would expect.

It's funny how one experience can alter your view of a place. I look forward to returning but not to eat in the bar.
