    Food was lovely. We went for afternoon tea which was really nice but found it impossible to catch someone’s eye to ask for the jam and cream for our scones which meant that although they were served lovely and warm. They were cold by the time we gave up on trying to get staff to come to us and went to them. It was promptly delivered with an apology. Then after being told twice that we could try all the different teas and coffees again impossible to order more without going up to a member of staff. However tea wasn’t promptly served this time and had to ask twice. One error is acceptable but not having to chase staff. Had booked an overnight stay for our anniversary later in the year as a special treat but will be spending my hard earned money else where now due to such poor service.

    Food was excellent and the service was the same. Attentive staff without being overly so. We had two of the mocktails and they were lovely. The soup and salmon were excellent and well portioned. Originally we were just going to have a starter and main but it was so delicious we also had a dessert. Again excellent quality and good portion sizes.
