Sunday lunch and overnight stay

Fantastic Sunday lunch and overnight stay. Had a late lunch and a very relaxed afternoon looking at the beautiful view before moving to the fireside sofas for an evening of board games, cheese and wine. Fabulous staff, lovely room. Overall a wonderful short break.

Room we stayed in is crying out for some maintenance and cleaning - not what you would expect at £180.00 per night - shame really because hotel is quite "posh" but doesn't deliver on overall appearance. Food and drinks not cheap but better quality than room
