The Lynnhurst has been around for ages and has been through several modernisations to reach it's current form. It is oddly placed in a residential estate but signposted so you'll get there to climb the little hill to access parking at the back of the hotel.
Swish decking and patio areas have been installed and there are a few rooms to choose from. I was at the Lynnhurst for a christening party so we were in the room that is at the back of the hotel which was modern. The bar area for normal visitors sits at wooden doors beyond this and is decorated traditionally with wood panelling and tartans.
As I'm Gluten Free my cousin had arranged a special meal for me at the party. The buffet looked very good with meats, sandwiches, pakora's, wedges, chips and sauces but I had a separate meal with cold meats, salad and freshly prepared chicken skewers which were great so no complaints there.
The staff and service was good - one niggle was they appeared to be still doing the last of the setting up which isn't ideal when guests are arriving. I would say drinks are along the price of 'hotel pricey' s not the cheapest place if you are having a few drinks.
Apart from that, nice staff and a lot better in appearance than a few years ago. I'll probably venture for lunch one day when I'm back that way to see how it fairs. read more
