Seagate

Had a family room in the annexe overlooking the river. Very spacious for us and the dog. The only negatives a bigger fridge would have been nice for a week's stay. And there was workmgoing on at the building next door so a bit noisy but would definitely stay again

The room was pleasantly designed, though offering little space on one side of the bed for a second person to shuffle through to the bathroom at night. Mean little glass teacups were on offer for morning tea/coffee - go anywhere else these days and full-size mugs are “de rigeur!” Who wants to go to and fro from the bed to top up the finicky little dainty teacups! Not modern travellers! We chose to eat dinner at SEAGATE. The dishes were tasty & nicely presented but way over-priced, especially the lentil and squash recipe. Only a handful of diners were in (it was a Wednesday) and staff were dressed very casually and exhibited behaviour to match - jokily calling out personal conversations between kitchen staff to serving staff across the length and breadth of the rooms in which expensively paying guests were dining. The managers were apparently away visiting their home/family. Individually the staff on duty were personable and very relaxed …. but it was all too casual, and very unprofessional.
