Well that didn't work out, Dot was invited to a wedding evening do on the same day and the venue was only seven mile from the hotel. So we changed our plans.
The original plan would not have worked out anyway, it started to snow really hard on the drive there, so a walk in Saltburn would have been out of the question.
Check in was at three, so I had booked Sunday lunch in the restaurant for two, we arrived early and had a beer in the bar while we waited. There should have been great views of the coast from the bar and restaurant but the heavy snow put paid to that.
The beer was John Smith's, Magnet from England, 4.2% dark amber with a good head, not much but a slight malt aroma, fruity bitter taste, least expensive and best of the John Smith's range (according to this upside down world, it is not even brewed by John Smith's but my home town brewery, Camerons, no wonder I like it).
Had another beer with lunch and then relaxed in the room watching rugby until it was time for the taxi to Gisborough Hall for the do, had a couple of beers in the room as well.
Great do, not a great selection of beer but had a really good time but we had booked the return taxi too early and then left it too late to change it. Even then, when we arrived back at the hotel we were the only people in the bar, so we only had one more beer before bed.
