Perfect destination - met friends for a Christmas get together. Started with a few drinks at the bar before seating at our table in the original pub area by a lovely open fire. Very congenial service. We weren't the easiest group to deal with but the person who took our order handled us with utter professionalism and good humour. It made for a memorable afternoon . We will be back. ps slow roast leg of lamb for two is sensational. A must for any meat eater.

Hotel only gave a supplement of £30pp and the al a carte menu would have not been covered eg: lamb chop £34. There was nothing on this menu really to cover the £30pp. Luckily there was a festive menu at £40pp for three course meal therefore only had to pay an additional £10pp. Starter of soup was very small ( 3-4 spoonfuls) and a very small piece of bread, to follow was a very large plate of Xmas dinner and the dessert was nice as well. Overall best to have the festive menu. Only downside was they give you the full bill to pay and when you check out refund you? Also they added sevice charge and we were guests at hotel
