8.4/10 Very Good! (370 reviews)
Staff were incredibly nice and helpful, especially Fay (hopefully I've spelt her name correctly). Food is brilliant and the bar area is such a nice place sit. Only thing I would maybe say is the lighting in the restaurant is quite bright but that is being a bit pernickety. I would highly recommend staying there. I very much doubt you'll find better in the area.

Room was lovely, clean. Dinner was slightly disappointing. I expect pork belly bites to come with a crunch but they were chewy and the sauce wasn't great. Burger was over sauced for me, bun split and was mush. breakfast was lovely. Enough selection for me. staff were all nice and polite.
