Excellent value Sunday Lunch meal, with wine offer to which we added starters and desserts. All food was excellent and the setting is fantastic too. Greek starter was nice, beef excellent although the Yorkshire pudding was a little underwhelming, Sticky Toffee pudding very pleasant. Staff were friendly and the restaurant was nice, with a good ambience and in a really nice lake area.

We went with friends on the 2 night New Year package, and we included a 3 hr Spa Package with afternoon tea. The hotel, setting, service, food were all excellent. All the rooms are large and individually designed. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The room for the New Year Dinner & Dance was beautiful - and a special mention to the DJ, who played exactly the right music all night. Thank you for a great time.
