Myself and my wife both wonder what is going on here, if there has been a management change or some issues?... We have stayed on a number of occasions before and had a great time, but the treat for my wife turned out to be somewhat of a let down...I booked a superior lake view room which turned out to have one smallish window, was dark, and looked like an oversized box room. The pleasant girl on reception checked that she could move us, and she did to a larger room with better views, but it was decidedly cold, and took some time to heat up...In fact there was only one lounge with a fire in it, and the bar was cold as well... We ordered two drinks which came to £14.00 which we thought was very steep, a larger and small Gin..Perhaps its just us. The glass of wine with dinner for my wife was £11.50 and the they have the cheek to add a bar service charge on top !!.... Anyway, we booked in the Arboreal restaurant which we have thoroughly enjoyed before on previous visits. This did not disappoint, the food is great, but they seem short staffed so service was slow. The big shock were the portions...Yes, its a tasting menu, but the whole 6 courses and the snacks could have fitted on one dinner plate...The venison main meat portion was less than the size of a match box!!... Don't know if they are cutting back or not, but this spoiled the evening. We slept OK, and breakfast was fine, again with pleasant staff....Don't know if its a one off, but I don't think we shall return again until they start giving better value for money and put some heating on in the winter!
