The food was terrible. Worst I’ve had in the UK over our last 4 weeks. My chicken was dry and chewy. The calamari was oily and I couldn’t eat it. The ‘salad’ that supposedly came with it was a few lettuce leaves and rocket. I had to order a side dish of greens to get anything healthy. My husbands wasn’t much better, and my daughter got served an adult pasta meal with chilli when we ordered the childs serve. We mentioned this to the waitress and she didn’t charge us for it. I ordered what I had hoped was a healthy option of food but was very disappointed.

We enjoyed our stay as we had before but - directions to and from rooms distant from reception are inadequate, side plates at breakfast are too small for comfortable use, and “hot” breakfast food was not. Staff throughout the hotel were invariably courteous, cheerful and helpful.

Positives We were lucky enough to have the restaurant mostly to ourselves as there was a large conference on at the time. The waiter was very attentive and helpful and frequently checked to make sure everything was okay. The restaurant offered a slightly off menu meal to my eldest ASD who has food issues which was really kind. Negatives The kids ordered pizza for a main course but the waiter returned to tell us that they were unable to do pizza. The nachos were also served cold which is unusual and meant the children wouldn't eat them! The price didn't hold up against the food quality, I had 4 or measly little prawns in what was otherwise a tasty dish of linguine and the kids main courses were disappointing for the cost. On the whole the restaurant was good and the food was okay but the service from the waiter is what has saved it from being disappointing all round.

Food was poor, staff were lovely and really tried but it’s hard when you majorly short staffed and the food is so poor for them to do a good job as they are just firefighting. Certainly won’t return to the restaurant

Food was tasty but very overpriced, service was very slow. No atmosphere at all in the dining room. I wouldn't dine here again unless I was staying in the hotel

I enjoyed a meal in the restaurant which was the best gluten free pizza I've ever had, and a formal dinner where the maitre'd and the chef couldn't have been more accommodating to my multiple food allergies. Many thanks.

The new menu is quite restrictive and can be challenging for some. Chef may want to be more adventurous but needs to think what the guests want. Next time we will eat in the bar/lounge that retains a more diverse selection

Having booked a evening meal as a deal I thought the prices were a little high for you to enjoy a 2 course and be in budget. The meal was lovely and would recommend eating there again.

Food was good, service excellent. The only thing we didn’t like as it was a hit and miss whether drinks, coffee, food was added to our hotel room or not they don’t seem to have this under control.

Service was lovely by both ladies. Food was brought and nearly dumpted on the table in front of us. The 2 starter forks were dirty with food stuck in between the prongs. Friend ordered the Haddock which was very dry with no taste. I ordered the fishcake which was floating in what looked like water and the spinach was drowning. No flavour at all to the fishcake. Cheesecake desert was stodgy with a few blueberries rolling on the plate. Extremely disappointed in the quality of the food especially for the price paid. Breakfast was okay although not hot at all.

A few minor issues, but overall very good. Had dinner here last night & thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was very very tasty, there were just a few minor elements preventing it from being a perfect meal. I started with the chicken liver parfait, and the parfait was amazing. 10/10. Would highly recommend. My main was the seabass with risotto, and it was also very tasty. Only criticism was that the skin in the seabass was not crispy, and the risotto needed ever so slightly longer, it was just a tad watery. Very tasty, but needed just some slight tweaks to make it perfect. Service was also great & the wine selection was very good too.

The staff were lovely, very attentive especially Lilly and Rieann who were on duty all three evenings. The food was very good, the Whipped Goats Cheese starter was so light and creamy.

The staff here are excellent. The hotel is lovely. The only downfall I would say is that the food and drink are way over priced for what they are. That is the only downfall to the hotel. The staff work really hard and are really friendly otherwise.

Waited about an hour for two fillet steaks. When they eventually arrived my rare steak(which looked like a great piece of steak) was actually fridge cold inside. Kitchen offered to "cook it more". No thanks, over £30 for a steak I expect it to be right 1st time. Very disappointed.

We stayed for a three night dinner bed and breakfast break, with dinner on first. two nights. The food was really good, although on the first night several menu items were unavailable, which caused some fellow gusts to be disgruntled. The staff handled the anger very well. .My wife and I were very happy with the menu though. The service on both nights was amongst the best I have received in a hotel
