Excellent hotel with some minor issues.
Pros:

A beautiful setting, food good, an attractive spotlessly clean room and on the whole staff were helpful .

The breakfast was very well organised and excellent.

Cons:

For the evening meal, however, on 1 occasion drinks and another occasion food was brought to the wrong table. The food my wife had ordered was brought to her but shortly after was removed as apparently is was intended for another table. Shortly after a member of staff rather accusingly asked my wife if she had touched the food.
The wine although good was overpriced.

Good overall but be cautious around the breakfast buffet ...
Pros:

Staff were great - in bar/check-in/resturant and quality of food was great apart from my partner contracting rather severe food poisoning a few hours after leaving the hotel - from what we could work out - had to be the sausages at breakfast from the buffet which she said were a bit lukewarm. Would go back but would be getting a freshly cooked breakfast which was an option.

Cons:

Food poisoning from what we think were the breakfast sausages (in a self serve buffet) . Would have been more serious for a child/elderly/frail person. I did contact the hotel reception after this had happened later that day at home- thinking at the time it might have been norovirus but they didn't seem that concerned, which wasn't expected or felt was the appropiate response. Email feedback direct to the hotel mentioned all this and so expected a call/follow-up from them, but nothing.

Pros:

I have visited this hotel for over 40 yrs...
This is the first time I used one of the top suites...
The weather was unfortunately absolutely awful but the area is a joy to be in.

Cons:

The service in the restaurant was excellent, especially attentive...
One point would be to seat us less "packed in" to one particular area while other parts of the restaurant were empty.

Could have been better for the price
Pros:

Location and staff were excellent. First evenings dinner was excellent. Second evening meal was disappointing, main course vegetables and plates stone cold, Yorkshire pudding tough, lamb rump 50% gristle and fat.
Breakfast normally a good buffet, but poached haddock was poorly presented.

Cons:

See above
