Inside was still traditionally maintained but looked a little tired. The food in the italian restaurant next door was really tasty and surprisingly reasonably priced. The main bar area was quiet for a monday night, but there was a pianist in the corner and the atmosphere was really cosy, not to mention a good range of real ales that the barman informed me were all local. The room we stayed in was clean and tidy and the staff were all excellent, couldn't have asked for more.

This is a brilliant, traditional style pub where families are welcome…read more There's locals drinking at he bar as well as families and couples having lunch from the extensive menu. There's everything from Mussels to sizzling skillets, pies and grills. Food here is all homemade and great value. Huge portions too. I had a mixed grill on my last visit which included steak, gammon, pork chop, lamb chop, sausage, black pudding, eggs, onion rings, Tomato, mushrooms, peas and their amazing homecut chips. £9.45. Bargain! My Other half had a burger (again) where he could choose 3 toppings from a list. Also served with chips and was around £6.50. Drinks are very reasonable and this place is a must if you're nearby. It's gaining a brilliant reputation and you'll need to book at the weekend.

I'm a real fan of this place…read more A flat carpark, through the orangery entry, and suddenly, up. The place is filled will green, huge hollow rhododendrons, wooden steps, follies, tunnels, rocks coloured with copper and branches arching, dripping with berries. The root covered paths are lined with raspberry and bramble bushes, and beautiful views off cliffs and through expanses of corn off to the horizon, leading to caves, grottos and arches. The twisting old trees are fit for tolkien, and I think I'm right in bits of Narnia being filmed here. It's a lot of unavoidable steps, so unsuitable for wheelchairs and prams unfortunately. Best on a dry day to avoid slippery rocks and carved steps, wear sensible shoes, take a bottle of a water and a torch (some tunnels are purposely not lit) and I'd also advise a picnic, partly because picnics are the best thing ever, but also because the tea room is pants!

Visited April 2015: "Restaurant at the Best Western Cross Lanes Hotel"…read more It was a picture perfect Victorian dining hall. There were curtains drawn in the middle of the room, breaking up the large open area. The tables were arranged for comfort and allowing private conversations not to be overheard. My friend and I had leek soup, deep fried brie, and shared the duck main. The duck main came with green string beams and creamed potatoes. Both hit the spot for such a cold April evening, and the duck was cooked beautifully. I finished off my meal with a citrus tart, that was creamy and just the right amount of tartness to it.

I went there for a christmas party and was not at all impressed with the food. It was mass produced and tasted like it had all been microwaved. This is not what you expect when you go somewhere with a reputation like this place has. However, my sister once came to a wedding her and she absolutely loved the food, so I guess it just depends on the day.

The Ellesmere Hotel, previously known as the Bridgewater Arms is better known as a pub rather than…read morea hotel. Years ago is was one of the better pubs in town but more recently its become a little run down and whilst i've never stayed in the hotel I have been told to avoid it as it gets bad reviews. The Hotel itself has so much potential its a shame that nobody seems to want to develop it into a succesful business. It has Lots of spacious rooms, and a Ballroom/Disco downstairs which can be used for partys. In the old days it also used to have a Gym and Sauna, so it could really be turned into a goldmine. The Pub itself is popular with the younger crowd, there is enough space in there to have the choice of a quiet drink or a livelier get-together. Good place, but could be so much better with a little TLC

The menu on offer is not bad, you can get sandwiches and smaller dishes for lunchtime or main meals too. The food is quite nice and the portions are a good size.

There is no area to sit outside so smokers have to stand on the street by the entrance. There is no parking either but it is only a short walk to a pay and display car park.
