Arrived after long journey so went to bar,the bar man did not once speak to me but gave me my drinks in utter silence and didn't once acknowledge me actually thought he may have had a speech problem,but no he spoke quite well to his colleague.At breakfast our companion came down a minute before breakfast ended and was told chef has said he is not doing any more cooking,another couple were told the same,after much discussion the chef had a change of heart and decided to cook,our friend said don't bother.The young waiting staff although friendly were slow,we waited and asked for tea and toast several times.
Rooms are lovely,very clean and well appointed,however this hotel being very old has uneven stairs and steps so be careful,both my husband and I fell.
Menu for breakfast was excellent,good choice and quite delicious,I had the haddock and egg,which was cooked to perfection.
My mobile phone ran out of power,asked the receptionist if she had any chargers,she said she hadn't and that others had asked for one,so perhaps would be a good idea for the hotel to keep some for emergencies,they don't need to ha d them out but people could leave their phones with reception,just an idea.
All in all historic hotel,with fascinating decor.
