Excellent. Very efficient but friendly staff. Food top notch. All together a very pleasant dinner. Will definitely return. Only downside, lighting a bit bright for us.

We ate in the lounge which was a bit tired looking but seemed a more relaxed space to have our afternoon tea in. The two waitresses were a delight and very attentive. The food was a little disappointing. 3 finger sandwiches each, the patisserie was nice but the scones were pretty dry and unappetising. Still, made a nice break in our journey.

Disappointed at the small selection choices for lunch, mostly sandwich and pizza. We have eaten at Lanes before, but in the evening. Wouldn't go at lunch time again. It is a beautiful hotel and the gardens are gorgeous.
