"Lovely hotel in nice grounds, recently renovated. Nice room and staff very friendly and attentive. Only thing missing is a good menu in restaurant. No choice of starters , main meal burgers, fish and chips, steak pie etc . Great if that’s what you’re looking for. Would have been nice to see something with potatoes veg salad etc . Still a lovely stay"
