Mixed experience. Food issues

helpful staffdated hotelappalling food
the staff were friendly and helpful, which i appreciated.
i was part of a group for four nights. the hotel itself is very dated and really needs a refurb. the food i was offered was disgraceful, and on one occasion, every single piece of grossly overcooked confit of duck presented to our party was returned. it was obvious those in control of the kitchen just couldn't cook
