Our experience at the restaurant was really poor and this affected our feelings for the whole hotel. How this restaurant has received any kind of positive award is beyond belief. The menu was minute and my choice was unavailable. My eventual dish was the “beef & beer pot pie.” This was an oily, fatty mix of minimal amounts of fatty meat, cheese and, yes, oil.
The hotel needed a good dusting, unless the cobwebs were thought to contribute to the rustic look.
Overall, I would not recommend this place or its restaurant.
