“Almost there...”

Reviewed 6 May 2013

Nice staff, beautiful view, warm and welcoming hotel. Starters were delicious. Chicken caeser main was perfect, but could have done with a bit of veg to go with the Cajun chicken. The white wine was warm which I loathe. We would definitely return though as the prices were very reasonable, despite a few small tweaks needed.

I hope you mentioned it at the time so we could put this right... More
