filling breakfastinaccurate picturesdisappointing room
The breakfast was great and very filling.
My partner and I stayed for 3 nights. Upon arrival, the room did not resemble the pictures at all. I spoke to the manager. He said they knew the pictures weren't accurate and many people had complained. There was nothing they could do, disappointing.

I really enjoyed the original features in my suite. It. the beams in the room and the corn mill details were lovely. the grounds were also a relaxing spot to wander.
the service felt a bit slow during dinner. it took a while to get drinks and for the table to be cleared after the meal. hopefully, this gets addressed.

the breakfast offer included a lovely selection. it was fresh and generous. the pub itself had a charming atmosphere. i found the parking to be available, and there was plenty of space.
the steak was tough. the vegetables on the menu that were supposed to accompany the steak were mushrooms, tomatoes and watercress but i got one mushroom half tomato and cabbage. both wines i ordered from the menu were not available. no members of staff could be found when it came to coffee, so i just went to the bar and paid.
