The hotel experience couldn't have gone worse. Firstly, the check in lady said our food reservation was for 7.30 at the carter and fitch restaurant, we had this confirmed 2 more times by her. We went for food at 7.30, the waiter sat us down and then said "you shouldn't be here, you are in the other restaurant" then moved to the Orangeary restaurant. We were told "you have missed the starters" and the main meal options was like a buffet style, but the food had been sat there ages, it was dry and disgusting. We ate some of the food but decided we would go back to carter and fitch and have a couple of drinks there, plus buy some food. The same waiter was there and said "you have to go to the other restaurant" we asked "but could we stay in here and buy drinks here and food? You have a TV too" he replied "there is a TV there too" I asked "is there an issue? Why aren't we welcome to come here?" His reply "well whilst its quiet you can stay in here until it gets busy"...absolutely disgusting. The hotel service was absolutely shocking. Avoid this place. I would score it 0 stars if possible for staff/hotel.
