Stayed here for the coursing festival.Its was very overpriced and raising rates as much as they did compared to there normal rates was a sickener for me.I was travelling with a group that wanted to stay there as it is their annual holiday so I bowed to peer pressure.A room was nearly double the price it normally was and you could only book for a 3 night package.
Breakfast was fine without being fantastic.
I ate in the resturant twice during my stay and the carvery was fine. I got sirloin steak the second night and it was a bit of a fiasco trying to order it. I went to the food area and the chef told me I had to order it at the bar. I went to the bar and the barman said this is the bar go to the chef in the food area. i went back to the chef in the food area and he said no go to the bar!. At that stage I said what the hell is going on here!I then went to a lady who was standing at a till and the matter finally got sorted.When the steak arrived I was not impressed with it. I though the cut of meat was poor and the entrees poor also. Lettuce and tomato with a sirloing steak on the same plate for me with two large onion rings just dont marry well and it just cheap plate filler.
Entertainment at night was blaring and again not sure if it worked at all. all it meant was people had to shout to hear one another.
The smoking area was also very poorly maintained and quite dirty. The heating out there is also not well distributed and needs to be looked at. your either roasting or freezing...
The rooms are standard room and were adequate.Showing videos of the coursing in the rooms was a plus. The were clean and well maintained..
