"On arrival I was greeted by an unmanned reception, no staff to be found anywhere. Telephoning revealed the reception phone was on mute, which also explains why I couldn’t get any answer in the days leading up to my stay to confirm a dinner reservation. Nobody at the bar either, eventually I wondered into the kitchen and asked the chef to find someone to check me in.
The menu is very limited on choice and is no better than any other gastro pub in the area. The drinks prices, when you finally get served, are some what disproportionately expensive given the service. £10 for half a pint of canned lager.
The room we had was a bath only…no shower, no tea or coffee in the room, no television either. Nor is there a phone / room service (not that it would be answered!) the garden / terrace was closed (looks permanently decommissioned / abandoned). Style over substance. The woeful service quickly diminishes any novelty value the decor should provide. I wouldn’t bother with it again."
