Farlam Hall Hotel & Restaurant ★★★★

"Once again Hrishikesh and his team delivered an outstanding tasting menu. A delightful experience of flavours and textures. Incredibly helpful and friendly hotel staff who made us feel like returning family. Our superior room was not only spacious and well appointed but very tastefully decorated. Can’t wait for our next visit"

The Howard Arms ★★★

"We reserved a table for 6 plus 1 dog for Sunday lunch. We arrived slightly early but kindly the waitress said we could head to our table which was in a corner, was spacious with room for the dog. A drinks order was taken quickly and soon after they arrived at our table……. At this time we placed the food order…. 3 x roast dinners, 1 x lamb and 2 x steak and chips. It took over 45 mins to receive our food, we could see other people who ordered after us were being served which was a bit frustrating. The waitress came over and apologised for the delay and said the food would arrive soon but didn’t explain why the food was delayed. I personally felt our order had been forgotten about as can’t understand otherwise why it took so long… When it arrived it was warm but not hot. At that stage we’re pretty hungry and just wanted to eat the meals and go.. As I say, mixed bag"
