Great location and venue let down by average, overpriced food and absolutely terrible service. We were seated outside and our first drinks took 30 mins to arrive. Kids food another 30 mins and basically had to beg for another round of drinks. Feels like a local pub for local people.

Not a complaint but no air con in room (broke down ) fans provided which you could do no more than you did . Alcohol free larger in a fridge that doesn?t work (may be because it was so hot ) . 1st night in restaurant after asking to sit outside . Booking in and been told I?ll be right out to take drinks order.
1/2 hour later having to go to bar and order drinks not quite good enough . Food excellent though .

We stayed in Raffles suite. Found the room outdated and the sauna was not working. Appeared knob had been broken. Been 3 times before and this room was very disappointing.

We had a lovely stay at the delightfully quirky Crab and Lobster at Asenby. Our room (Le Manoir) was very comfortable. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The food was very good. We enjoyed our evening meal and breakfast.

The Crab was once an incredible place to stay. Unfortunately, the rooms are looking a little tired. The water pressure in Cipriani palace was non-existent, never mind rainfall shower; this was more drizzle! The food was overcooked. On the plus side the waiting staff were fantastic.
However, we won't be rushing back having got married here 10 years ago it's such a shame to see the place decline and trading on its old reputation. Needs an overhaul.

We have just returned from a night away to celebrate our anniversary, and what a wonderful place it was to celebrate!
Check in was easy and very personable. We were shown up to our room to find that we'd been left a complimentary dessert for our anniversary! A lovely surprise and much appreciated.
Our room was lovely and very comfortable. We were in The Ritz room, which felt very luxurious. The complimentary tea and coffee station was also very well stocked, and included fresh milk and cookies.
We booked a table at the restaurant and had an amazing meal. The space was very quirky with cool decorations and nice, laid back music. The service was excellent and we enjoyed three fab courses.
All the food was delicious and served in good portions too! My favourite was the sharing pudding plate, which was a real treat and a perfect end to the meal.
After a good night's sleep, we had a good breakfast in the restaurant. We got there for about 8.30am as our room warned that going towards the end of breakfast might mean it was quite busy! The breakfast was fab, with a good continental buffet and then cooked breakfast options. The tea and coffee was also lovely.
Overall an amazing experience at this comfortable, quirky hotel and restaurant. We'd love to return one day and enjoy it all again ?

Guests at our son?s wedding. Perfect day from beginning to end. Full marks to the Crab and Lobster for a special day. Staff went above and beyond to look after us.
