"Breakfast in hungry horse was a total disaster. No yoghurt! Four oranges for fruit and what about buying a coffee machine. Sachets of tea or coffee don’t cut it. The cooked breakfast was cold and the staff didn’t bother. Could we have granola or muesli instead of the Kellogg cereals?"

"Several visits now. Staff and Food always excellent. The Steam Room in the Spa was Out of Order, which was a shame. I now mention it every time about the front door, it is so heavy and difficult to open. A motorised power door should be installed. Also, the state of the car park is atrocious. I don't care that it is a 3rd Party, It is bringing the hotel down."
