The worst service I have ever had in an over priced restaurant. Extensive expensive menu with plenty of choice but clearly not enough kitchen or waiting staff to provide any service. From the time we sat down I had to go and find one of the two staff working to get any service at all - firstly the menus, then someone to take the order, then to get any drinks, and after nearly twenty five minutes wait I had to find a member of staff to see when our food would ever arrive. When it did eventually arrived all our dishes had clearly been ready for some time and were all tepid. Exactly the same happened with the main course and with the desert - I had to go to find a member of staff every time we needed to order or were waiting for yet more tepid food. When eventually I went to pay the bill, as clearly no one was coming to take payment, the member of staff behind the desk (where he had been doing nothing for some time) got up and walked out of the restaurant as I approached him, and I had to wait for some time at the bar to make the payment. If you have plenty of both money and time and enjoy tepid food & poor service - this is the place to eat.

I stay away from home a lot and book different venues. This has to be the best room/ensuite I have stayed in so far in 2024 (now in October). Room was lovely, bed was super comfortable. There was a desk to work at in the room, wardrode for hanging clothes, good sized TV on the wall, chairs next to an easy table, wall fitted aircon unit. Ensuite was a great size, with a sensor night light so you did not have to turn on main light in ensuite.
