we had mother's day lunch there and it was acceptable. the ballroom looked gorgeous. all our courses were plentiful and tasty.
i stayed there for a wedding, and the room was disappointing. the floor hadn't been hoovered, and there were black marks over the walls. the bathroom was terrible, with broken tiles and dirt. i wouldn't expect that standard for the price i paid.
