Absolutely wonderful food. Stayed in the hotel during a conference and had the dinner, bed and breakfast deal. The 3 course dinner was absolutely lovely. The fish was very fresh and meat succulent. This restaurant deserves 2 AA rosette and is nearly a Michelin star standard. The service was friendly and warm but not quite formal enough for a star. If it beefed up its formality, I won't be surprised if it gets a star next year. If you are staying there, ask to stay in the main hotel. I was in the barn conversion section, which was nice but is showing some age and the bathroom just a hint grubby.
