"The food was scrumptious, beautifully presented, I had the turbot fishcake with scallops and hollandaise sauce to start and then their 'signature' dish of crab ramekin."

The food was really good. I had some of best fish and chips I have had for a long time. The fish was cooked to perfection in a light batter. The chips were triple cooked and were scrumptious.

I stayed in the studio and it wasn't very comfortable. There was no good place to boil the kettle, so I used the small table in the second bedroom. One side of the bed had no bedside table. This was not good.
