service from reception, bar and restaurant staff

very good food in the restaurant and the bar menu looked excellent too

the reception area, bar and restaurant are very well laid out and give comfortable and pleasant surroundings

in could have done with a fresh coat of paint, could have done with some taller tables in the bar to eat from

near the bar and dining room.

after our meal we went into the main lounge bar which did have one fire on but i had to ask to have it topped up regularly

the carpets are well worn and the bar area is quite shabby

coffee from bar - absolutely the worst luke warm coffee i

the bar and lounge area was great, with plenty of entertainment and a strong drinks selection

the first two days we had breakfast in the bar area,it was a bit busy as they had a shooting team there

the bar downstairs but the silence upstairs

lack of dinning in the bar itself.

bar area had a great buzz

the train at 13:11 , in the bar either a pint at 13:28, now that's what you call a check in

i was also on a cycle and i was allowed to bring this into the bar area - superb as a cycle is quite vulnerable

we were told the music from the bar would be off by 11

the disgusting language in the bar and the internal water feature in my room..

possibly first impression having to walk into the bar and karaoke was a little off putting but the rest of the stay was great

area was a bit close to the bar and i am not a fan of loud music

room 1 is above bar so it is noisy on busy nights
