Many of our hotel guests choose their stay here to take the opportunity to eat in The Dining Room here in our hotel. There have been excellent reviews in all the national broadsheets and the restaurant's reputation is constantly growing. But it would be wrong not to take the opportunity to sample some of the delights of other restaurants in the locality. Besides The Dining Room is closed on Sunday evenings and all day Monday and Tuesday.
