If you don’t mind waiting 2 hours for your meal ! We arrived at 6:30pm and ordered various tapas. Within the 1st hour the salad arrived then we waited another hour for the rest of the food. Exstremly disappointed as this place was recommended by a

Highly recommended. Superb selection of tapas, friendly efficient service in ambient surroundings. We stayed in the accommodation upstairs, lovely rooms with many little extras. Breakfast the next morning was top quality, freshly prepared with local ingredients. Thank

Came for a break at 8 months pregnant which was initially gorgeous; room was stunning clean and had all ammenities, staff attentive despite us being 30 mins late, food exceptional quality and presentation. We changed our evening meal to 730, which ofcourse made me sleepy ( we were unaware that 4-5 freshly cooked meals take about 45 mins between each but no worries, they tasted great) we asked your server if we could take them to our room because of my visibly declining health & energy, they said no because "people make a mess". I can see the logic but if someone if so pregnant, tired & nearly passing out at your table then accomodations should be made.After paying £160 for a suite, extra for a meal and being pregnant, members of staff saw how visibly unwell I was and made no attempt to treat me as a normal, unwell patron offering no hospitality to allow me to take my meals I had paid for to my suite, giving the excuse "our boss said so". When you operate as a trader or service provider, pregnancy is a legally protected chacracteristic: The Equality Act 2010 calls this pregnancy and maternity discrimination. There was no health and safety reason for treating me differently, meaning you had no legal right to to deny me room service or treat me differently due to my pregnancy. I was given the option of "you can have a doggy bag tomorrow" What use is an evening meal, cold and a day late?I never saw a manager or had my concerns taken seriously or shown any inclination that there would be an attempt to make ammends.I hope your boss enjoys £200 from a working class family that couldn't get the full experience from your restuarant and rooms. It's shocking that this discrimination takes place in 2024. I have written a few public reviews warning others that If theyre pregnant, unwell, have a chronic illness or anything that prevents them from finishing their meal, the should avoid your business because from my experience you will make 0 accomocations for them. I actually doubt you even have first aid training at this point. This is a discriminatory business. We've since had to order a takeaway at extra cost to us. What could have been the most amazing little getaway with your many positives has been ruined by unsympathetic mangers who discriminate against anyone who isn't able bodied. It's 2024, do better.

Although I've Never Been Here I Love The Tale About The Laughing Cavalier.. This Building Looks To Be Grade 2 With So Much History.. It Sits On The Road Up To Blackstone Edge And I'm Sure It Has Many Story's From The Past ..The Food And The Rooms Look Fantastic And The Business It's Self Has Hosted Many Catering Events As It's Reputation Is Second To None .. Although The Building Is Quite Old It Looks Fantastic For It's Age And With One Legendary Ghost Story ..I Did Hear The Owners Where Leaving But I'm Not Sure If This Is True Although They Have Done A Tremendous Job Throughout The Time They Have Had Hear ???
