The hotel itself is fantastic, there is a vibe about the place that anyone especially horse lovers would love, the room was very tastefully decorated in decor that dosent seem like it would ever age or go out of style. The food in the bar airea is excellent, this was my second stay here and i would happily stay again.

I stayed for two nights first was good but on second discovered steam room was out of water and not functioning and when I went for dinner at 7.20 I ordered lamb cutlets two other couples came in had steak and were all served and at 8.30 I asked about my order and the waiter said you’re lamb? Maybe you could try the curry I responded if I’d have wanted curry I’d had ordered it! I gave up at 8.40 paid for my drink at bar and told bar staff I was leaving as 1 hr 20mins was not acceptable so went to bed angry and hungry after a hard days work!
