   A brilliant experience! Chose the valentine menu and thoroughly enjoyed it. 5 courses of incredible food, flavours and appearance were all delicious and served in good time with style! Excellent value for money! An amazing evening will definitely return soon.

   The food was great, we did well with service but others seemed to struggle. Our young waiter was lovely. The only negative was there were no olives for martini!

   Very overpriced! Steak was not very good, tiny, tasteless and dry £38.00. Thought I would have been given a huge steak!

   Food okay, expensive for what you get, restaurant empty at 7.30pm and no atmosphere, felt very rushed and being watched by the manager at all times. Waitress was lovely but £15 service charge for okay food and ridiculous. Had breakfast this morning and continental was okay but help yourself buffet was luke warm and not enjoyable again very quiet. This was a xmas present so not impressed and will not return!

    Nice friendly big hotel, bathrooms need a refresh. Very comfortable bed. Ate lunch at hotel was really nice pea and ham soup was lovely and club sandwich was good. Had dinner at Salt but everyone moved to bar lounge area as hotel was quite bit was still good and food was good husband had pork, he thought was good but would have preferred a crispy skin. Being gym members we got 20% off food and drink so that was good too, overall pleasant stay on way to family in England
