Didn't stay but attended a wedding. Great venue and location. Good staff and excellent food. Take out a mortgage for drinks though!

I made a reservation for Father's Day in the Beach Club Restaurant in March. Then re-confirmed my booking in May, only to find out a week before Father's Day that the reservation needed to be cancelled due to a private function now taking place. When I queried this with the manager Nicole I was told that their diaries change on a daily basis and that they simply manage this by re-routing customers to other restaurants.
I appreciate this is an option however some of the options aren't great with smaller children and not really in the spirit of why I choose to book the Beach Club restaurant over their other restaurants. If I wanted to eat in the Orangery. I would have booked the Orangery in the first place. This also happened with friends of our for the G7. I'm sure if my plans changed I would not be eligible to just cancel them with the hotel and get a refund on my deposit. The hotel needs to review the management of their diaries and customer relations.
