Held our daughters wedding service followed by drinks and canapes last week. From initially discussions to execution on the day we could not have asked for better. Wedding service took place below the Oak tree in the grounds and it was truly magical. The weather was so good we were able to eat and drink on the terrace, food from Chef Alex was second to none, guests who had booked accommodation where blown away by how spacious and well designed, especially for those who needed disabled access, the rooms were. Cannot thank Jane, Lynne and all the staff who served in the day you all made it very special. Thank you Derek and Siobhan Ferguson-Smith

We had heard good recommendations about the food and decided to call in one day after being in Coleraine. The staff were very friendly and the food delicious and freshly cooked. Unfortunately it was raining so we couldn't get a walk outside. We would definitely go back again.

Visited for dinner. Ideal location, however bar and waiting staff (bar 2 younger staff) were unfriendly and customer service was awful. The range of the menu was good and the food itself was fine. Nothing to spectacular but not inedible and far from cold. Plenty of parking. Nicely decorated.
