We booked for Christmas lunch also to stay the night. We booked in and had a lovely welcome. We left our dog in the room and went for lunch. We did not have to pre book which made a nice change. The menu was excellant, soup, smoked salmon & prawn mousse and smoked duck salad,we both had smoked salmon. Mains were Roast turkey and beef, cod loin and vegetarian rissoto, we both had turkey. pudding were christmas pud,cheesecake,cheese & biscuits, chocolate torte and creme brulee, we had the pudding and torte., The whole meal was wonderful,plenty of veg and not just the usual sprouts and carrots.. We finished off with coffee,mints and mince pies,by the fire. We were able to have our dog with us in the lounge. We sat around the fire. when we got back to our room,we discovered to toilet flush was broken,they quickly moved us next door.,which was a bigger room. Unfortunately the thermostat was broken and the room was boiling all night and the tap was loose. When we mentioned it,we had the wine knocked off our bill and a profuse apology. The room we had was spacious, with a large comfy bed. There was a good hospitality tray. The towels were a good size and the toiletries were good quality too. Breakfast was excellant, plenty of choice of cereal,fruits,juices and yoghurt. The cooked was really tasty especially the sausage. All in all,despite the problems,we'll definitely go back and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
