Reception staff are OK and show a willingness to help. Checking out, I was asked by reception staff how my stay went. I said that I really liked my room and I liked the hotel itself. It looked nice and the facilities were fine. With that said, anything that involved food at the hotel was an absolute disaster.
My first encounter with the kitchen involved me ordering sausages and mash. I waited a good 35 minutes in a restaurant that had about 7 out of about 60 table’s occupied. The head waiter who took my original order came over and asked me to remind him what I ordered, I reminded him. He then indicated that my order had been lost! He then went off to look for my order. I asked for the head waiter to be sent over to my table which was the person who took my original order. He came over with my food and apologised. I asked him why it took so long for my food to arrive; he apologised again and offered me a complementary drink which I accepted. I appreciated his approach and thanked him for it. The sausage and mash was awful, it tasted extremely salty and so I left a lot of it.
At breakfast, I opted for a full English with sunny side up eggs. After about 25 minutes which is an excessive time to wait, my breakfast was brought to me. The eggs were not fully cooked and needed turning. The waitress who was really good saw the issue and we agreed that the eggs would be replaced so she took the eggs. Same eggs came back, they were not sunny side up! The food tasted bad. I left it.
