Nothing to not like

The Staff were exceptional! It felt like a family business.

Location stunning, room not enormous but nicely decorated and good view of the mountains. Bed was ok but we've slept on better in a simple pub room this week. Dinner quality was excellent, the lamb was superb and the salmon equally so with quality, tasty vegetables.

Not enough staff, whole place seemed to be run by 2 people, one front of house, the other a chef, though we did see a cleaner on our day of departure. Hence dinner took 40 minutes and choices were extremely limited. Total lack of attention because there's only 1 person doing the bar, front of house, taking order, serving food, collecting glasses and plates, asking if you want another drink (which they didn't), need I go on? No drinks menu was offered so we had no idea of the prices or types of drinks available without asking. We were offered red, white or rose wine and the beer was "something local" and cloudy. No cereal, yoghurt, fruit or pastries on offer at breakfast but simply a glass of orange, coffee or tea and one main hot dish from a choice of 8, most of which involved something on toast. Eggs Benedict was underdone. We got the impression that this former characterful country pub has been converted into a bland, characterless, profit-led establishment aimed at people who probably won't ever return. The £30 allowance against dinner menu on our room package didn't cover all the menu choices e.g. the lamb dish was £32 so no starters or desserts unless you paid more. I foolishly assumed that "Dinner Bed and Breakfast" would include a full meal. Needles to say we didn't order starters or desserts. Orders for dinner were not taken in order of arrival and a table of 4, who came to dine after us, got their meals ahead of us, perhaps because we were slightly "out-of-sight" of the bar. We won't be returning which is sad because we don't live that far away and visit the area often.
