Warm welcome. Butler assistance with luggage. Large bedroom. Good room for breakfast - fast and prompt service. Good choice to start the day. Pot luck meant you could dine in the Tap Room without reservation in the evening. Not so keen on the choice of food for dining. Monkfish overcooked so disappointingly chewy. Hot water scaldingly hot in bedroom.
