"We visited this hotel for the restaurant, with its fine-dining menu, and it was excellent. Somewhat off-putting at first, the signage to the car park then back to the hotel was poor. Something other reviewers have noted. The small car park was thronged with cars...for a wedding party, but we just managed to squeeze in – not sure where we would have parked otherwise. An overgrown, steeply-stepped path led from the car park to the hotel entrance, where, we presumed, the restaurant was located. A long wait while the receptionist dealt with hotel enquiries on the phone, then some time with a guest who had arrived ahead of us. Our table-booking time came and went, but when we were eventually spoken to, there seemed to be no problem, and we were led through a maze of corridors to the finely-appointed panelled dining room. All the tables were reassuringly well-spaced, so we sat down to one of the most imaginative meals we’ve had in a long time. This was certainly fine-dining – creative, though small portions that saw me get through 3 courses plus a cheese plate that was probably meant for two! The young staff were attentive and knowledgeable, and the courses came and went seamlessly. A credit to all who worked there."
