Overview

With staying here at the hotel, it included in its cost, two breakfasts, which we wanted to try, and then to enjoy evening dining with them, and let you know our thoughts. We left our room about 8.15am for breakfast (photo 1) and walked around the corridors (photo 2) and down the ramp on the wooden passage (photo 3) to reach the bar restaurant (photo 4) where we were booked in and led to our breakfast seats. It is a delightful buffet start, and you order your selected hot breakfast with the waitress first of all, while hot drinks and orange juice is brought to you. It was certainly a nice selection on offer, with cereals and breads that you pick up yourself (photo 5) with fresh fruit and meats available (photo 6) and a choice of cold drinks you help yourself to (photo 7) and the restaurant is large enough to offer you space so as to be able to eat from your wheelchair, or place it out of the way while you sit at a table (photo 8) The hot breakfast was very good, well cooked and presented, good choice available as well, certainly filled us up. Following breakfast, we had enough time to sit in the lounge (photo 9) and read the daily paper they have for you to read, before we headed off to enjoy visiting other places. In the evening, dinner is taken at the same restaurant, so we made our way along corridors (photo 10) and along to the Bar restaurant (photo 11) if you so wish to eat there, and we chose a starter each (photo 12) like the very nice crayfish fish cake, light and fluffy with a delicate easy taste, and we relaxed to savour our dishes (photo 13) before tucking into the main course (photo 14) good old fish and chips ah. As regards the food in the evening, starters were very nice, although my husband was not quite as keen on main courses, sometimes chefs can just overdo messing around with dishes, adding tastes not always to peoples liking, and this was so with our choices, the burger itself not to his liking, and he did not like these chips that seen to be the norm nowadays, with skin on and added tastes, stick to good old style chips. However, I had the Carbonnara, which was delicious. There is another restaurant available for evening dining, at the very pleasant Farmer Butcher Chef restaurant (photo 15) with its own bar (photo 16) and a very good attractive barn like restaurant (photo 17). It has a good reputation for excellent meals, and certainly looks inviting, but it’s wholesome meat dishes on offer, and we are not meat lovers, so did not join them for dinner. We did not see any vegetarian dishes on offer.

Transport & Parking

Parking was easy enough, with a number of different car parks you can use, each with just one disabled bay, and for the bar the middle car park is best, it’s not as far to take your wheelchair to get to the bar.

Access

It’s not to bad to get around the hotel, a push and pull handle at main entrance, all on the level for most of the way, with just sloping ramps to get up and down on, and there are places you can leave your chair at if you want to sit at tables.

Toilets

Did not need to use

Staff

Evening staff just as pleasant as those of the rest of the day.
