A Treat
We had a one night stay as a Christmas present. A little bit of luxury we don't usually have. Food was delicious and the room was very comfortable. Would have benefited from a second night
The Horn of Plenty came up to our expectations and we very much enjoyed our stay .
Menu.
We liked everything about the hotel and the staff. However, we were very disappointed with the menu. we were very surprised to be given the exactly same menu on the second night. there were only 4 choices for carnivores two of which were fish.we were then told they changed the menu every month!
