The motel (cos that's what it is - an older building that has been done up a bit) was OK when we stayed there - pleasant enough but certainly not 5*. We ate at Rick Stein's and the food was OK, not memorable. I had the classic fish and chips and IMO the fish needed 30 seconds more to be fully cooked, was a little translucent. The main issue we had was the poor service. We had a booking for 7.30 and when we arrived there was no table available and we had to wait (well people seem to eat early down there), no offer of a drink from the bar or anything and they sort of left us hanging in the foyer part. We actually had to push to get seated. The wait staff was not what I would deem well trained - leaning across me to place husband's meal, drinks ordered never appeared even when followed up etc. and I really do object to being referred to as "guys", given the price and the supposed 'fine dining' they were advertising. They may well have improved as it was a few years back now. Had friends who were there when Rick Stein was there and wait staff spent the time fawning over him leaving the customers waiting.
I don't mean to put you off at all. It was OK but not a place I would go back to.
