We stayed for two nights as a last minute break. Cannot fault the staff in the slightest. Other than one very rude lady who pushed past my husband three times without apologising (another staff member apologised on her behalf though), the service we received from them was brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble, especially the waitress in the restaurant on Thursday night. I can’t remember her name but she was so knowledgeable and attentive and nothing was too much trouble for her. The man on reception was also really polite, friendly and professional as was Diane who ran the little bar on Thursday evening and who did breakfast service on Friday and Saturday morning. She is genuinely one of the nicest, eager to please and most professional people we have ever come across in a hotel (and we stay at a lot). The room we stayed in was small but pleasant enough as it looked out on the lake but the bed was so so uncomfortable so we struggled to sleep and woke up a lot. I booked a Luxury Double and thought it was my own fault that the bed was small but just before we checked out, we checked the room description and the bed should have been at least a King Size according to the description on the website. This makes sense as I was confused why I had chosen a room with a Double as I never normally do. If we had known this earlier, we would have definitely asked to have been moved. The bed issue definitely needs addressing, the mattress replacing as a matter of urgency and changing to a King Size. A big plus was that considering there was a wedding on, it was very quiet in the Parker Wing and we were not disturbed by the continuing party at all once in our room. The wedding started during the day on the Friday we were there, which meant it was really noisy in the lounge area where we were sitting as guests were coming past, shouting for people they had lost and generally just making a lot of noise, so it would have been better if they had closed off the lounge so non wedding guests could relax, or in my case work, without constant distractions and noise. Whilst we were in the lounge, we had the Indian starter platter. This was horrible to be honest. It contained naan bread that I think had frost bite as it was extremely dry some very greasy and burnt mini poppadoms and some onion bhajis and samosas. It was only £10 so can’t complain about the price but it just wasn’t very nice. We ate in the restaurant on both nights. The food was ok but not brilliant. We had the Tasting Menu on the first night which was just ok. The duck ham was really chewy and just wasn’t that nice. The cod was just ok but wouldn’t recommend or have again. The chicken and deconstructed mango cheesecake were lovely though and I had both of these on the following night. On the second night, I had the mushroom and tarragon soup which appeared to contain no tarragon and just salt and my husband had the pigeon which was a little tough and over cooked. A huge negative for me is that
