Wee visit for Birthday treat. Room lovely and spacious, but too hot, even with windows open. Plenty of towels and nice modern bathroom with great shower. ( our pressure at home is poor) Had courtesy call a few days before enquiring if we would like to reserve a for dinner as would be quite busy. So glad we did as there were a few large groups in, Was surprised to learn that dinner is no longer served in the restaurant but in what we referred to as the Bar and grill ( partitioned section of bar beside the windows) sections and is one area now and laid back. Pianist still plays whilst you eat. .Not sure why they have chosen to introduce this as cuts down on number of covers per night and only one menu now. Turkey and Ham was lovely, we didn't want burgers, goujons, chips etc as these are available in every bar / restaurant nowadays. Would have liked to see a stir fry, or some pasta dishes on the menu, maybe tagliatelle, meatballs, arrabita etc. Only issue was there were some wedding guests in the reception area on the Saturday who were loud much to the annoyance of guests having tea / coffee or reading there. Prices have gone up quite a bit, but same everywhere to be fair. All staff were pleasant and helpful including some familar faces. Hot tub lived up to its name but was lovely. Unfortunately the steam room was too hot for us. A nice stay.
