Red House Hotel

I came for lunch with a friend at the beginning of the week. It was my first ever visit. Food was nice and the staff lovely however, we ended up leaving earlier than we might of as it was impossible to have a conversation without having to shout above the noise levels in the conservatory area. I returned at the end of the week with another friend for my second visit. This time a very loud group of male golfers again made it impossible to have a proper conversation. When the conservatory only had a few people in it there was a nice atmosphere but as the tables filled it became louder and vey uncomfortable on the ears. It also caused problems for a friend with hearing aids. I think the hotel either needs to have less tables in there or do something else e.g. divided sections between tables to make it more pleasant and relaxed. In future if I ever go back (both experiences have put me off returning any time soon) I'd ask not to be seated in there. I'd give 5 stars for the staff, 4 stars for the food and only 1 star for the conservatory area.

Very poor Booked online only to told on arrival there’s no room

Day 1 of a 6 day stay. Evening meal 10/10 Pork Medallions in a smoked cheese, leek and bacon sauce - just tremendous. Breakfast. Quite the best I’ve had within my memory. Bacon, superb . Sausages and black pudding brilliantly seasoned, mushrooms properly fried, egg great and a portion of beans. Service second to none. What a start to the week.
