We visited in April 2009 as part... more

We stayed from 23rd Dec until 27th Dec and we thoroughly enjoyed our entire time there. The Staff are exceptional, nothing is too much for them. The food is plentiful and very well presented.

The party included age ranges from early twenties to late fifties and not forgetting our trusted ten year old dog. As usual we cannot fault the food, accomodation, staff and entertainment.

Have just returned from a very enjoyable 5 day stay at the Star Hotel. All staff very helpful. Rooms very old fashioned but have just had a facelift and are very clean with tea/coffee making facilities. Food excellent although I have to admit I thought I'd gone back to the 1970s! eg Peach melba, Pear Belle Helene, Sherry Trifle! Met... more
