Garden House Hotel 

I was tired and weary and needed a room and some repaste at short notice, as it was for one night only I checked into here as it was starting to get dark and I had been on the road for a few hours already.
The room in itself was reasonable in a chinzy kind of way, the bed linen was clean. After a quick wash I headed down for some much needed refreshment and enjoyed a pint of 80 shilling which was nice, after surveying the extensive menus (always a worry) I elected for the 'a la carte' made my choice and eagerly awaited the luscious fare described, the serving without exception was from start to finsh the worse meal in my opinion I have ever had in over 10 years extensive business travel. To summarise all 3 courses were horrid, the ingredients were very poor, the presentation amateur, basically the menu description of what I ordered was in reality totally false.
The service was shabby to match, the manager said he wouldn't charge for the strater, wow! what about the rest of the tripe? Anyway after such a disapointment I went to bed early & hungry. I couldn't face breakfast in the morning wondering what was lurking in the kitchens so checked straight out, I questioned why I should pay for the food the manager said because he would call the police if I didn't, nice chap! I paid (minus starter) I won't go back, ever, neither will any of our numerous service engineers I could have recommended. Synopsis:- Stay away if you expect fair service and like good quality food, it isn't dirt cheap either.
