Offering a host of freshly cooked English dishes every day, our menu is as pleasant as our surroundings at the Cedars Restaurant. We can seat up to 60 guests, and when youre one of them you can choose from three courses of sumptuous traditional English dishes, including 'Proper' puddings such as Spotted Dick.

If the hotel was refurbished it could be very nice. Good location and clean room let down by dated decor, poor heating and a terrible breakfast service. The evening meal was good but I would not reco... more

not what we expected

Staff was very friendly and helpful, but the place was really rundown (and we stayed on a superior room - I don’t want to imagine how the standard looks like). We will not stay there again - it needs ... more

Thank you for your review. We are being completely refurbished in May 2020, this will see the old building knocked down, save for the beautiful Grade 2 listed original hotel. We are then building a modern, light extension that will sit sympathetically with the original hotel: this will add many more rooms, a fantastic area for larger functions and will renovate the remaining areas accordingly. Please do come and visit us again in the future. Thank you for being so kind about our staff: they are a very important part of our hotel.
