+ We were attending a party in the private function room - so to have a room just a few steps away was amazing - it had everything we needed for the night - including tea and coffee making facilities. We met with our friends for breakfast the next morning and it was great. We also ordered Sandwiches the day before when we arrived ( 1 x fish finger, 1 x steak) these were lovely - fresh bread and large portions. The staff were all friendly and helpful.
