we booked our holiday in June of 2006 during a particularly bad year thinking a break at Christmas would help cheer us up.
The Christmas lunch consisted of processed turkey, plated up with hot gravy, frozen veg including 2 brussell sprouts cooked for the same period of time as peas. This was produced on a tea plate with 2 new potatoes in their skins, two processed roast potatoes and bits of frozen veg. We were shocked - the restaurant was full - if they cannot cope with all numbers and produce decent food they should stick to limited amounts.
On despairing of the meals we went a la carte - big mistake.
My prawn cocktail turned up on the plate as a prawn salad and two medium rare steaks turned up - with no embellishment - as a very strong rare. In fairness, after complaining we did not pay for these.
The lounge bar in the hotel has been transformed into an additional restaurant which means there is nowhere to sit and have a drink except the public bar - this entails going outside and in again round the side, not very convenient.
When I booked this hotel we read this site and believed it would be a really good break but unbeknown to us the hotel changed hands in November - be warned, unless they pick up their game a stay here could dissappoint you badly.
