Hotel Norg

We only went to the restaurant and I was not satisfied with the food at all. The back yard is very nice and the service was also great. In terms of food, the vegetarian option was below expectations given the price. The carrot risotto (a lot of potential for sweet savory taste) was undercooked, slightly cold, with no taste and so full of red chunky raw onion (could have been thinly sliced with some vinaigrette). It had cold mushy boiled whole carrots with honey (?) on top (so much potential to roast for taste and some colour). All sidedishes (plain boiled potatoes - points for being locally sourced; cold sauteed vegetables with half chunks of raw onion) were cold. The dessert selection of 5 (cup icecream, sponge cake, pudding, berry foam, .. something else) was nice to explore through after all the raw onion but was not made in house. The local beer was good. Maybe it's not the place for vegetarians...

The hotel owner harassed us at breakfast as we 'only' initially gave a 3☆ review. They have since made contact again, since our return to the UK, to ask why we haven't changed our star rating, to a 5☆, as they had insisted, that we was to do so. I only give 3☆ regardless of where I've stayed previously, as all aspects within, can be improved on. We would of used again, however their insistence of a 5☆ rating is making us think twice, about a return booking. The hotel is clean, tidy & quiet. The only critism is, of the restaurant, which is not run by the hotel owners. They took 2 hours for 2 courses, from a set menu. If I had only refrained, from giving a review, then we would of had a much better experience, of Hotel Norg
