The hotel and staff were great, fantastic setting. Beautiful grounds shame the Stable restaurant let it down badly. Meal booked for 8.30, finally got in at 9.00. Three staff said they would return and take us in. Staff member said they had been fully booked for weeks, but obviously reception didn't get the message as they took the booking for 8.30. Had run out of our starter antipasto for 2 to share. Definitely wouldn't give them a second chance, not impressed.
